Abstract
The invention relates to a folding seat (1) including a hinge device mounted on a stand (2). The seat back (4) and the seat proper (3) are moveable manually between a folded-away position in which they are disposed parallel one against the other, and an in-use position. The hinge device is arranged so that moving the seat proper (3) towards its in-use position causes the seat back (4) to move upwards and to be inclined rearwards so as to dispose the seat (1) in its in-use position.
