Improvements in or relating to a safety arrangement for vehicle seating

摘要

A safety arrangement provided in a motor vehicle is associated with the rear seat. The rear seat has a squab 1 in the back part 4. The back part is movable pivotally from a substantially upright operational position to a substantially horizontal position. A beam 10 extends transversely of the vehicle. The beam has, at each end thereof, a latching mechanism (20, 21) solely to secure the beam to the body of the vehicle. Latching means are provided to latch the seat back to the beam. The beam can only be unlatched from the body of the vehicle when the seat back is latched to the beam.
