Multi-function rear seat structure with stow to floor

Abstract

A vehicle seat assembly is movable between a use position, a stadium position, a recline/slouch position, and a stow to floor position. The seat assembly includes a seat cushion, a seat back pivotally coupled to the seat cushion, a fore/aft adjuster having a lower channel fixed to the vehicle floor and an upper channel slidably coupled to the lower channel, a pivot support bracket fixedly coupled to the upper channel, a stow to floor bracket having a lower end pivotally coupled to the pivot support bracket by a stow pivot and an upper end pivotally coupled to the seat cushion by a stadium pivot. The stow pivot is spaced vertically below the upper channel of the fore/aft adjuster. The seat cushion and the seat back fold and articulate to the stow to floor position by rotating about the stow pivot and stadium pivot.
