ABSTRACT:
A quick-release clamp is provided having a retaining bracket fixed to the vehicle, a clamping arm for releasably engaging a portion of the seat leg, and an interlocking mechanism detachably secured to the retaining bracket for fixedly mounting the clamping arm and the seat engaged thereby. The retaining bracket includes a keyed slot leading to an enlarged cavity. The clamping arm includes a hooked portion for overlaying the seat leg. The interlocking device includes a bolt having a T-shaped or winged head which is insertable within the keyed slot and rotatable within the cavity to a position which prevents its removal through the keyed slot. One end of the bolt passes through the clamping arm and a locking handle is secured to that end. Upon initial locking rotation of the locking handle, the bolt head rotates within the cavity to the non-removable position. Subsequent locking rotation of the locking handle fixedly secures the clamping arm to the retaining bracket and, thereby, the seat leg to the vehicle floor. Minimal unlock rotation of the locking handle returns the bolt head to alignment with the keyed slot for removal.
