ABSTRACT:
A retention system is disclosed for securing back and/or cushion seat components (14,16) to a seat frame (12) by a releasable retainer (20). Latches (18,22) are also used to secure both the seat back and cushion in the preferred embodiment. The back is secured to the frame by the latches and is engaged by the cushion such that securement of the cushion by the retainer maintains both the cushion and the back in place on the frame. Each latch includes a latch member (34,80) and a keeper surface that are engaged by relative movement between the associated seat component and the frame so as to provide the latched condition. The retainer includes a retainer member (44) having an intermediate bight section (46) secured to the frame and a pair of deflectable latch legs (48) extending in opposite directions from the bight section. A pair of keepers (50) on the seat cushion are engaged by the deflectable latch legs to secure the cushion to the frame. U-shaped ends (58) of the latch legs extend downwardly and provide handles for latching the legs.
