Vehicle seat with rotating angle adjustment

A vehicle seat assembly comprising:

• a seat bottom having a forward edge and a rear edge;
• a mounting structure comprising a forward guide track adjacent to the forward edge and a rear guide track adjacent to the rear edge, the two guide tracks defining arcuate paths following a common arc having a center-of-curvature located above the seat bottom, the seat bottom supported by the two guide tracks and movable relative thereto along the arc;
• and
• a rotatable link between the seat bottom forward edge and the mounting structure permitting the seat bottom to tilt to a stowed position.

A vehicle seat assembly comprising:

• a seat bottom having a forward edge and a rear edge;
• a seat back attached to the seat bottom for rotation about an axis adjacent the seat bottom rear edge;
• seat mounting structure for securing the seat bottom to a vehicle interior, the mounting structure comprising a forward guide track defining a first arcuate path and a rear guide track defining a second arcuate path;
• a forward follower attached to the seat bottom adjacent to the forward edge and engaging the forward guide track for movement there along;
• a rear follower attached to the seat bottom adjacent the rear edge and engaging the rear guide track for movement there along, the first and second arcuate paths extend along and are defined by a common arc having a center-of-curvature located above the seat bottom;
• and
• a rack and pinion assembly associated with at least one of the guide tracks, movement of the pinion along the rack causing the followers to move along the respective guide tracks.
