ABSTRACT The invention relates to a latching assembly for releasably securing a vehicle seat to a vehicle body and is adapted to co-operate with two generally parallel spaced mounting bars rigidly affixed to a vehicle frame forming part of the vehicle body. The latching assembly comprises a bridge plate adapted for rigid attachment to the vehicle seat and dimensioned to span the distance separating a first and second of said two mounting bars. The bridge plate has a first connecting slot for releasable, securing engagement with the first mounting bar and a second connecting mechanism for releasable securing engagement with the second mounting bar. The first connecting means comprises an open-ended slot formed in the bridge plate and adapted for surrounding engagement with the first mounting bar so as to permit pivotal movement of the bridge plate and the attached vehicle seat about the first mounting bar. The second connecting mechanism comprises a pair of opposed movable jaw members pivotally mounted on the bridge plate for independent pivotal movement between a latchable configuration in which the jaw members are adapted to enclose the second mounting bar so as to restrain pivotal movement of the seat and an unlatchable configuration in which the jaw members are adapted to open from such enclosure so as to release the second mounting bar. The vehicle seat can thus pivot about the first mounting bar for subsequent removal only when the jaw members release the second mounting bar.
