ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat mounting bracket for mounting a rear seat back to a vehicle floor without requiring separate fasteners or excessive labor. The vehicle seat mounting bracket has a slotted opening by which an integral trough extends along the slotted opening. The trough guides a pintle that extends outward from the rear seat back into a circular opening in the bracket. The bracket is flexibly connected to the vehicle so as to flex away from the seat back upon the pintle engaging the trough and moving downward toward the circular opening in the bracket. The pintle has an integral ring extending radially outward on the periphery of the pintle. Upon the pintle engaging the circular opening in the bracket, the bracket biasingly moves towards its natural free-state position and engages the integral ring to apply a biasing force toward the seat back and substantially prevent any rattling noise. Upon the pintle engaging the circular opening of the bracket, the trough overlies the pintle and retains the seat back in the bracket.
