seats mounted on an shaped frame vertical leg and said vertical leg is hinged to two short horizontal frame legs at the knee position of the L shaped and said two short legs are welded to an inverted shaped frame secured to the floor of the vehicle in which said bench at a position close to said side and two subfraiTtes are provided hinged and foldable to said vertical leg frame of said shaped frame positioned at the distant end seat from said shaped and one of said foldable subframes is a leg securable by a lock to said when said bench is and the other of said foldable subframes acts both as means to fold or unfold the seat backing of said bench hinged to a vertical hinge connected to said vertical leg of said shaped and as securing means of said shaped frame to said floor when said bench is by means of a provided locking So that in the folded position said plurality of seats and seat backings are in one plane with said vertical leg of said shaped and said two subframes are folded and secured to said vertical leg and the complete structure is folded towards said leaning on said two short horizontal leg frames of said shaped secured to said floor by said inverted and when

said plurality of In the preferred embodiment the frames are made of metal tube In another preferred embodiment the frames are made of reinforced plastic In the preferred embodiment the width of the seat and backing upholstery is adjusted to a and the length of the horizontal legs of the shaped frame is adjusted to the width of the inverted shaped frame placed closely to the side so that minimal space is taken in the cabin when the seats are The preferred design of the folded seats is particularly suitable to the popular Mitsubishi Peugoet Chevrolet and Fiat Ducato The invention can be best described in the attached 1 illustrates a side view of the folded frame and seats attached the the side 2 illustrates a side view of the unfolded position of the seat secured to the 3 illustrates a three dimensional view of the frame and 2 The vertical leg of the shaped frame 11 is hinged by the hinges 26 to the short horizontal legs 19 of same shaped The subframe 13 which acts as a security leg to the seat when is hinged to the frame 11 by the hinge 27 and is secured to the frame 11 in one position or to the floor at position 24 by the lock system The subframe 15 is hinged to the frame 11 by the hinge which also acts as a hinge to the seat backs The subframe 15 acts as a security leg to the frame securing the bench to the floor by the locking system at position The legs 19 of the shaped

20 and can either be in one plane with the seats or in the seating perpendicular position when unfolded the seats 22 are secured to the floor by the front leg and the side subframe and the inverted frame For folding the one releases the locks 28 of the frame and 14 of the leg frame 13 and the two and 13 are folded inwards on the frame 11 by the hinges and 27 and locked to position by the locks 28 and 14 The seat backings 21 are pulled downward on hinge 20 to be in one plane with the seats The complete frame 11 is then pushed up towards the hinging on the hinges 26 and secured to the ground by the horizontal legs 19 which are welded to the inverted which is secured to the floor by the securing means Several alternatives can exist either the system is for one seat and one seat backing or as shown in the drawings the bench is designed to have two seats and two seat backs Alternatively the arrangement could also be used for three seats and three backings should be appreciated that the number of seats 22 is limited to the cabin and could be increased if the cabin is The upholstered units 22 and 21 when folded form a security to the side wall from the cargo put in the The inverted
