A seat assembly for supporting an occupant above a floor of an automotive
vehicle includes a seat cushion extending laterally between spaced apart
side members. The seat cushion includes a front cross member extending
between the side members. Inboard and outboard front legs are each
pivotally assembled at one end to the front cross member for pivotal
movement of the seat cushion relative to the front legs between a seating
position and forwardly dumped positions. A boss protrudes outwardly from
the front cross member for pivotal movement therewith relative to the
front legs. A guide flange is fixedly secured to one of the front legs
and has a cam surface cammingly engagable with the boss for automatically
laterally displacing the seat cushion in response to pivotal movement of
the seat cushion relative to the front legs between the seating and
forwardly dumped positions.
