A detachable van supporting arrangement is disclosed which allows a seat structure to tip into a forward direction and also allows an individual to easily remove the seat from the vehicle without the use of tools. The locking mechanism uses two slots in a base plate communicating with two rods in a tube plate to lock the seat into a secure position. The first rod is inserted in a U-shaped slot with a detention at a bottom portion which provides a pivot point. The U-shaped slot allows the seat to be easily removable from the vehicle by lifting the rod out of the slot. The second rod associates with a L-shaped slot. The first and second rods are connected by links. An over-center locking mechanism moves the rods within the designated slots. The second rod includes a handle. Rotation of the handle moves the two rods against stop means and continued rotation cause the over-center locking mechanism to move beyond the point of eccentricity and provide a snap lock.

A seat mounting assembly for a motor vehicle which allows a seat to be both tilted out of a driving position and easily removed from the vehicle without the need for tools, comprising; a floor plate; a tube plate; a latching means for securing said tube plate to said floor plate; said floor plate having two edges for bolting to a floor of the vehicle and a raised portion in the shape of a channel with legs and a web, said legs connected to the edges of the floor plate; said floor plate having a first slot and a second slot substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the the floor plate and extending across the entire width of the web of the channel and legs having a top portion of each slot open and each slot extending downwardly from the channel web towards a far edge of the channel legs; the first slot having a substantial U-shape with a slight indentation in the direction of the second slot; the second slot having an L-shape with the top of the L open across the entire web of the channel and a bottom toe of the L in the direction of the first slot; said tube plate being channel shaped with a web portion slightly wider than the web portion of the floor plate so that the tube plate overlaps said floor plate; said latching means attached to said tube plate including, a first rod, a second rod with a handle, two link elements connecting said first and second rods, and two discs attaching to said links and attaching to said second rod to form an eccentric pivoting means. said first rod extending through the legs of the tube channel and engaging the first slot of the floor plate, said link elements secured to said first rod; said second rod extending through the legs of the channel, a handle attached to one end of the second rod to facilitate rotation of said second rod, said second rod welded to two circular discs outside of the link elements, the discs being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the links and have openings to attach to protrusions extending outwardly from the link; said discs operating as part of a bell crank mechanism allowing linear movement of said second rod in a direction inwardly in a closed bottom portion of the L slot of the floor plate towards the first rod; and a frictional over-center lock means whereby the rods pull towards each other from the pivotable movement of the link and circular discs.
