Truck-bed detachable seat assembly

摘要

A seat assembly (10) that is particularly designed to be installed on the truck bed (60) of a pick-up type truck. The assembly (10) includes a first and second side plate (16) that allows the attachment of a seat (20) and an articulated backrest (24). The backrest is designed to be locked in either an upright, sitting position or to be lowered against the upper surface of the seat (20) when the assembly (10) is not in use. To install the seat assembly (10) to the truck bed (60), a set of four, flush-mounted seat coupling plates (14) are attached to the truck bed. A corresponding set of L-brackets (18) are attached to the first and second side surfaces (20C, 20D) of the seat (20). The brackets (18) have a nut bore (18C) through which is inserted a threaded bolt (18E). The bolt attaches to the coupling plate (14) to securely attach the seat assembly (10) to the truck bed (60). The seat assembly (10) also includes a seat belt assembly (30) that restraints a sitter, an animal safety harness (32) that attaches to the seat belt assembly (30) and an optional backrest cushion (34), a seat cushion (36), a headrest assembly (38), and an articulated armrest assembly (40).
