Foldable mobile restaurant booth

A collapsible booth seating system comprising:

• a booth including:
• a generally vertically extending seat back, wherein the seat back comprises an interior frame and an exterior covering,
• a seat portion located in front of the seat back and having an interior frame and an exterior covering, the seat portion having a first, seating surface and a second surface disposed generally opposite the first surface,
• a linkage arrangement coupling the seat portion to the seat back so as to permit the seat portion to move from a first, operative position in which the first surface extends at least generally horizontally away from the seat back, to a second, folded position in which the seat portion extends at an angle of no more than 45 degrees from the seat back,
• a seat leg extending downwardly from the second surface of the seat portion, wherein a linkage arrangement couples the seat leg to the seat portion so as to permit the seat leg to move from a first supporting position in which the seat leg extends generally vertically to a second, stowed position in which the seat leg is retracted toward the second surface of the seat portion, and
• wheels supporting the seat portion on the ground;
• and
• a table spaced away from and adjacent to the seat portion when the seat portion is in the operative position thereof, wherein
• the wheels permit movement of the booth along the ground independently of the table.

A method of restaurant booth assembly comprising the steps of:

• positioning a collapsible booth seat in a desired location, wherein the collapsible booth seat comprises

• a seat portion located in front of the seat back and having an interior frame and an exterior covering, the seat portion having a first seating surface and a second surface disposed generally opposite the first surface;
• a linkage arrangement coupling the seat portion to the seat back so as to permit the seat portion to move from a first, operative position in which the first surface extends at least generally horizontally away from the seat back, to a second, folded position in which the seat portion extends at an angle of no more than 45 degrees from the seat back;
• a seat leg extending downwardly from the second surface of the seat portion, wherein a linkage arrangement couples the seat leg to the seat portion so as to permit the seat leg to move from a first, supporting position in which the seat leg extends generally vertically and supports the seat portion on the ground to a second, stowed position in which the seat leg is retracted toward the second surface of the seat portion;
• and
• moving the seat portion from the first, operative position to the second, folded position, causing the seat leg to move from its first, supporting position to its second, stowed position via operation of the linkage arrangement.
