ABSTRACT:
A bracket is used to maintain a unitary seat in a motor vehicle in a stowed position such that the rear of the seat is tilted upwards and the front of the seat is tilted downwards. Preferred brackets have a support arm attached to the bottom of the seat, and a floor brace that rests on the floor of the vehicle, and is pivotally coupled to the support arm at a pivot that is positioned no more than 12 inches from a closest point on the seat. Also in preferred brackets the floor brace has a slot, and the support arm and the floor brace are releasably coupled to each other via a connecting arm and a slidable connecting member positioned in the slot. A levered set screw may advantageously be employed to releasably couple the support arm and the floor brace.
