ABSTRACT:
A suspended, gravity centering, shock absorbing seat mount includes a pair of elongated mounting brackets (2) for attaching the seat mount to a vehicle. An upper pivot shaft (5) extends laterally between the mounting brackets. A shackle (3) is mounted at an upper end thereof to each opposite end of the upper pivot shaft (5). A lower pivot shaft (7) is mounted to a lower end of each shackle, and extends laterally outwardly therefrom. A casing (14) is mounted at a bottom end thereof to each of the lower pivot shafts, and a seat mounting member (15) extends laterally between upper ends of the casings. The shackles are free to move in an arc about the upper pivot shaft, and the casings are free to move in an arc about the lower pivot shafts, thus allowing the seat mounting member to move forwardly and rearwardly in response to forward and rearward motion of the vehicle, and returning the seat mounting member to a central position by gravity.
