A quick release seat assembly (10) including a seat (11) having a seat cushion (12) and a seat frame (14), and a frame (16), wherein a pair of front seat mounts (18) support the front of seat (11) and a pair of rear seat mounts (20) support the back of seat (11). A pair of overlapping tabs (38, 42)

A quick release seat assembly (10) including a seat (11) having a seat cushion (12) and a seat frame (14), and a frame (16), wherein a pair of front seat mounts (18) support the front of seat (11) and a pair of rear seat mounts (20) support the back of seat (11). A pair of overlapping tabs (38, 42) are associated with rear seat mounts (20) and a pair of upstanding locking pins (32) and corresponding coupling mechanisms (50) are associated with front seat mounts (18). Each coupling mechanism (50) includes a releasable latch that engages the upstanding locking pin (32) and holds seat (11) on frame (16). A common pull cord (54) jointly releases the latches in order to allow removal of the seat.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A quick release mechanism for releasably securing a seat assembly component to a seat assembly frame, comprising:a restraint mechanism adapted for mounting to at least one of the frame and the component and adapted to prevent sufficient movement of the component away from the frame in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the component to release the component from the frame, the restraint mechanism being further formed for release of the component from the frame upon movement of the component in a plane generally parallel to the plane of the component; anda coupling mechanism adapted for mounting to at least one of the frame and the component, the coupling mechanism including a releasable latch for securing the component to the frame in combination with the restraint mechanism and the coupling mechanism further being adapted to prevent release of the component from the frame while in a latched condition, and being adapted for movement of the component when in an unlatched condition to release the restraint mechanism and allow release of the component from the frame, the coupling mechanism further including a headed locking pin and a socket formed to receive the locking pin, the releasable latch being movable from a first position wherein the head and latch overlie each other so that movement of the component in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the component is prevented by engagement of the head and the latch, and wherein the latch is movable to a second position away from the head so that movement of the component in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the component is not prevented by the latch.
