Jump seat assembly and seat with improved safety belt array

An improved vehicle jump seat assembly, said assembly comprising, in combination:

• (a) a jump seat, including a raised back portion and a seat portion hinged to said back portion for movement between a horizontal operative position wherein the back portion and seat portion are disposed perpendicular to the wall and a vertical stored position wherein the back portion and seat portion overlie one another and both lie flat against the wall;
• (b) a wall bracket comprising a generally upstanding arm and a generally horizontal arm interconnected thereto, said arms being adapted for mounting on a vehicle wall, said upstanding arm including hinge means connected to the side of said back portion of said jump seat for movement of said jump seat between a stored position in such bracket against a vehicle wall and an operative position extending laterally of said bracket and vehicle wall,
• (c) back portion spring return means interconnecting said upstanding arm and said back portion which moves said back portion to a stored position,
• (d) said horizontal arm including a sloped side surface for reception and support of the side margin of said seat portion, and further including a raised seat anchoring post adapted to fit into a cavity in the underside of side seat portion when said seat portion is in the operative position, said post defining with said sloped side surface a recess with sloped sidewalls, said recess being adapted to receive a frame component on the underside of said seat portion, said sloped sidewalls facilitating immediate, automatic easy release of said seat portion from said horizontal arm when a predetermined weight is removed from said seat to thereby store said jump seat against said vehicle wall, with both the jump seat and jump seat back both overlying one another and both lying flat against said wall,
• (e) seat portion spring return means interconnecting said seat portion and said back portion which raises said seat portion to a position where it overlies said back portion,
• (f) whereby said jump seat assembly includes sufficient support means to enable said jump seat, when in its operative position, to extend outwardly from and be supported entirely by said vehicle wall.
