More Information
Summary:A seat system (200) may include a door (202) and a locking mechanism (270). The door may be movable between an open position (218) and a closed position (216). The seat system may include a seat (236) mounted to the door and including a seat bottom (250) that may be movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The seat system may further include a locking mechanism operatively coupled to the seat bottom and configured such that movement of the seat bottom from the stowed position to the deployed position when the door is in the closed position causes the locking mechanism to engage fixed door-frame structure (120) located adjacent the door and to immobilize the door against movement from the closed position. Movement of the seat bottom from the deployed position to the stowed position may cause the locking mechanism to disengage from the fixed door-frame structure and to allow the door to be moved from the closed position.
