DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0078] Referring to the figures, some embodiments are now described in a more detailed manner, which do not intend, however, to limit the scope of the present application.

[0079] According to FIGS. 1 to 10, the seat attachable to a vehicle comprises: [0080] a seat (1); [0081] a leg support (2) as a single piece that tilts over at least one shaft (4), wherein the shaft (4) unites the seat (1) and the leg support (2); [0082] a footrest (3), wherein the footrest (3) is fixed to the leg support (2).

[0083] In one preferred embodiment, the leg support (2) and the footrest (3) form a single piece that tilts over at least two shafts (4), in connection with the referred seat (1). In one preferred embodiment, the shafts (4) are built of metallic and/or polymeric material.

[0084] In another embodiment, the footrest (3) further comprises a footrest tab (10) that permits the fixation and adjustment of the position of the footrest (10) along the vertical groove (15).

[0085] In one embodiment, the seat (1) has fixation elements (13) in such a manner that the seat (1) and the leg support (2) fit after opening the seat, maintaining the attachable seat stable in its open conformation.

[0086] In one embodiment, the seat attachable to a vehicle has a mechanical fixation system for coupling to the vehicle. In one preferred embodiment, the fixation system is adapted for fixing to bicycles.

[0087] In one embodiment, according to FIGS. 2 to 6, the mechanical fixation system comprises:

[0088] a metallic tube (11) in the shape of an open hoop which closed extremity fits in one of the three variable positions (12) under the seat (1), wherein the plate (6) is tightened through the two action knob handle bolt (7) thus fixing the metallic tube (11) in one of the variable positions (12); the other extremity of the metallic tube (11) is fixed in the vehicle by means of a clamp (5).

[0089] In another embodiment, according to FIGS. 7 to 9, the mechanical fixation system comprises a single piece (14) having a hub (16) that is adjustable through the knob handle bolt (17).

[0090] The present description is not, naturally, in any way restricted to the embodiments presented in this document and one skilled in the art may foresee many possibilities of altering same without departing from the general idea such as defined in the claims.
