ABSTRACT:
A removable support strut for bracing the rear seat of a sports utility vehicle when the seat is tilted vertically. The elongated strut member has a seat anchor slot formed in its top edge adjacent its rear end. During installation of the strut member, the seat anchor slot is passed downwardly over a seat anchor rod mounted in the floor of the cargo space of the sports utility vehicle. The front end of the strut member is then rotated forwardly approximately 90 degrees at which time the contoured bottom edge of the strut member mates with the various wall surfaces of the recess that surrounds the access opening for the seat anchor rod. A latch slot is formed in the bottom edge of the support strut member adjacent its front end and a latch assembly is mounted adjacent thereto. The latch slot travels over a transversely extending tie-rod between the two pivot assemblies of the rear seat and is locked in position to prevent the folded seat from pivoting rearwardly and injuring someone or damaging items placed in the cargo storage floor area.
