An automobile seat comprising a seat bottom rotatable around a transverse axis approximately parallel to a car body floor, a seat back mounted on the seat bottom and capable of being inclined forwards, a seat bottom lock for releasably locking the seat bottom to the floor, a seat back lock for releasably locking the seat back to the seat bottom, and a lock releasing and linking mechanism for linking the forward inclination of the seat back and the rotation of the seat bottom to each other so as to conduct both seat back forward inclination and seat bottom rotation by a single operation. The lock releasing and linking mechanism is provided with an actuation piece for detecting the rotation of the seat bottom and a drive member for releasing the seat back lock by the actuation of the actuation member. Or, the mechanism is provided with an interlocking member for releasing the seat bottom lock in a manner interlocked with the forward inclination of the seat back.
An automobile seat comprising a seat bottom rotatable around a transverse axis approximately parallel to a floor up to a position where the rear portion of the seat bottom is free from the floor, a seat back mounted on said seat bottom so that the seat back can be inclined forwards, a seat bottom lock for releasably locking the rear portion of said seat bottom to said floor so as to allow the forward rotation of said set bottom around said transverse axis when unlocked, a seat back lock for releasably locking said seat back to said seat bottom, and a lock releasing and linking mechanism for linking the forward inclination of said seat back and the rotation of said seat bottom to each other so as to conduct both seat back forward inclination and seat bottom rotation by a single operation.
