IMPROVED DIFFERENTLY CONFIGURABLE VEHICLE SEAT

This invention relates to a differently configurable vehicle seat (1 a, 1b, 1 c; 101 a, 101 b, 101 c), comprising: a frame (2, 102); a backrest (10, 110) coupled to the frame (2, 102); and a seating unit (11, 111). The seating unit (11, 111) comprises a seating base (12, 13; 112) and an articulated kinematic mechanism (14) for connecting the seating base (12, 13; 112) to the frame (2, 102), in such a way that the seating base (12, 13; 112) is movable between a withdrawn position, wherein a side of the seating base (12, 13; 112) is substantially adjacent to the backrest (10, 110), so as to allow a passenger to sit on the seating base (12, 13; 112), and an extended position, wherein the seating base (12, 13; 112) is positioned at a predetermined distance from the backrest (10, 110), so as to allow the passenger to rest his/her legs on the seating element (12, 13; 112).
