Abstract:
A folding tailgate seat has a seat (1) and a back support (2) that are foldable to parallel verticality for non-use positioning and unfoldable on a seat hinge (3) to position the seat selectively horizontal and the back support selectively vertical for seating use. At least one non-marring contractional hook (4) is fixable with preferably interchangeability to either a bottom (5) of the seat for a seat-attachment mode or to a back (6) of the back support for a back-attachment mode. In the seat-attachment mode, the non-marring contractional hook is fixable to a horizontally positional vehicle wall such as a tailgate (7) of a pickup truck or of a sports utility vehicle in a lowered horizontal attitude for use of the seat or in a raised vertical attitude of the tailgate for non-use of the seat. In the back-attachment mode, the non-marring contractional hook is fixable to a vertical vehicle wall such a back wall (8) of a trunk of a car with a trunk lid open, to a back of a raised tailgate or to a bumper of a motor vehicle. The seat and back of the seat can be cushioned and provided with trays (28), drink holders (29) and cabinets (30).
