AN INGENIOUS SEAT MOUNTING
A drawback to the two-door sedan or coach is the fact that when passengers in the rear seat wish to get out, they have to press down the back of the front seat and then tilt the whole seat forward. A French motor body builder has just brought out an ingenious device for making it easier for a passenger to move the seat, and to allow the maximum amount of room
through which to pass. In this design the near side front seat is mounted on four feet, three of which carry castors running on rails, while thd fourth constitutes a vertical pivot, as shown in the illustration. The back of the seat is hinged and provided with a lever-arm coupled by a rod to an eye secured to the floor Of the body. Consequently it will be seen that when the back of the seat is pulled forward ro fold it downwards this action has the automatic effect of rotating the seat as a whole so as to provide the necessary space for entry into the rear part of the body. Such a contrivance should prove most popular in coaches.
