ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for connecting a vehicle seat in at least two positions is provided. The arrangement includes a floor first surface; a cross pin having a cross section with a first larger width and a second smaller width; a chair leg having a slot which has a first end wider than the cross pin first width, the slot also having a neck and a closure section divided away from the slot first end by the neck, the closure section having a dimension less than the cross pin first width and greater than the cross pin second width; and a lock arm with a finger for locking on to the pin about the second width to entrap the pin in the closure section of the slot. Thus, in a normal first seating position, the seat leg is positioned to place the cross pin in close proximity to the neck of the slot, and in a second fold-up storage position, the seat leg is held in a second position extending more vertically upward than in the first position by the latch locking on to the second width of the cross pin.
