The present application refers to a seat cushion that is retractable from its anchored seat.
In the car industry, car seats are properly set to adjust to the size of the person preparing to drive the car. They are not set to retrieve any items that are dropped underneath the bucket seats. It can be very difficult to retrieve these items as it is hard to kneel down on the ground and reach under the seat to obtain lost items. Also, another use for the retractable car seat is to store items that can't fit into the glove compartment. A final use for the retractable car seat is easy access for cleaning underneath the front two car seats.
By providing a seat cushion that can be flipped up, the retrieving of items lost or dropped underneath the seat can be made much less difficult.
By making a modification of a car seat this can be achieved.
While the whole seat can remain attached to the manual seat tract the seat cushion would have a separate hinge that would allow the middle seat cushion to flip open. Retracting the seat cushion would allow the driver or passenger to easily retrieve items from the car floor, i.e. keys, loose change, credit cards etc.
Another function of the retractable car seat would be to store or hide items that can't fit in a glove box, i.e. laptops, i-pads, clothing etc.
A final function of the retractable car seat would be the ability to flip-up the middle car seat cushion for easy cleaning underneath the two front bucket car seats.
The function of this seat cushion will become apparent from the detailed description.
In the following detailed description, the interior design according to the instructions for this application in the form of a front driver/passenger standard bucket car seat will be described by the embodiments.

Although such details can differ from car manufacturer to car manufacturer, the basics of the retractable car seat can be applicable to any car seat made by any manufacturer.
Further, the retractable car seat can also be applied to sport utility vehicles and pick-up trucks with bucket seats.
While endeavoring in the foregoing specification to draw attention to these features of the invention believed to be of particular importance it should be understood that the applicant claims protection in respect of any patentable feature or combination of features herein before referred to and/or shown in the drawings whether or not particular emphasis has been placed thereon.
