A seat frame assembly is provided for compactly folding a motor vehicle
seat. The seat frame assembly includes at least one side frame member. An
actuator is operatively coupled to the side frame member. An elongated
control arm includes a first end pivotally coupled to the side frame
member and an opposite distal end. A control link includes one end
pivotally coupled to the side frame member and an opposing end
operatively coupled to the distal end of the control arm. A seat cushion
linkage assembly is operably coupled between one of the control arm and
control link and the actuator for moving each of the control arm and
control link between a stowed position generally parallel with and
adjacent to the side frame member and a support position spaced from the
side frame member in response to actuation of the actuator.
