ABSTRACT:
A quick release pedestal seat mount to support a passenger seat from the floor of a recreational vehicle includes a base plate for mounting on the floor of the recreational vehicle and a seat mounting box to which a seat may be attached. The seat mounting box may be quickly secured to the base plate by means of a set of hold down cleats which fit engagingly into a complimentary set of hold down openings in the base plate. The seat mounting box is further locked in place by means of a pair of dogs attached to a kick release handle and received into a pair of locking slots in the base plates. A simple tug on the kick release handle disengages the dogs from the locking slots and pulls the seat mounting box rearward, disengaging the hold down cleats. The seat mounting box is further formed so that it will deform under the impact of a frontal collision in such a manner as to cushion the impact of the collision to the seat occupant.
