Abstract
A folding vehicle passenger seat for agricultural or industrial utility vehicles, includes a seat member which can be pivoted from a seated position to a position folded upward. A sliding bearing mechanism is coupled to the rear portion of the seat member so that the seat member can be guided in a sliding motion and so that the seat member can pivot about an axis. When the seat member is folded upward the sliding bearing mechanism slides downward from an upper position along the guide and simultaneously rotates relative to the guide.
