ABSTRACT:
The invention is a pedestal mount for a boat seat including means for locking the seat in selected rotational positions or permitting the seat to swivel in either direction. A cylindrical sleeve attached to the seat rotates within the vertical stanchion. A series of apertures in the sleeve are engaged by a locking pin to stop rotation of the seat in a selected position. A circumferential groove in the sleeve may be engaged by the locking pin, permitting the sleeve and seat to rotate but not be withdrawn from the stanchion. A collar around the top of the stanchion supports means for actuating the locking pin comprising a compression spring urging the pin into contact with the sleeve and a lever handle for selectively withdrawing the pin to a first position outside of the apertures but within the groove so that the seat may rotate but not be withdrawn from the stanchion, and a second position outside of the apertures and the groove so as to enable withdrawal of the sleeve end seat mount completely from the stanchion. Means for locking the stanchion within the supporting base comprise a locking lug extending outwardly near the lower end of the stanchion, which lug engages a locking slot in the receptacle of the base. The lug is urged into the locking position by a vertically disposed hairpin spring lodged within the stanchion. Means located on the stanchion above the base provide for depressing the spring and thereby withdrawing the lug from the locking position. The sleeve is a stepped cylinder, a central portion of which has the same diameter as the support stanchion, enabling the sleeve to be inserted directly into the base support without use of the stanchion.
