releasing the backrest portion to permit pivotal movement to a
generally horizontal folded position. As shown in Figure 5,
when the backrest portion is in the vertical position, a latch
finger (46) of the seat latch (36) is contained within a catch
(48), thereby preventing pivotal movement of the backrest
portion. When a latch cable (40) is tensioned by actuation of
a seat release lever (38), the seat latch (36) is
rotated so that the finger (46) is released from the catch
(48), thereby freeing the backrest portion for pivotal
movement to the folded position.
As illustrated in Figure 1, the child seat includes a
bottom cushion (62) pivotally mounted to the backrest portion
(16) on a support bar (74) via a pin (75) for movement between
a stowed position and a deployed position and an interlock
(66) for permitting movement of the bottom cushion from the
stowed position to the deployed position only when the
backrest portion (16) is in the vertical use position. The
interlock, which is best seen in Figure 4, includes a
retractable throw bolt (68) connected to a motion transmitting
