Abstract

For a slidably adjustable boat seat or table top, a first plate member for carrying a seat or table top has a pair of underside tracks along parallel outer edges which are slidably engaged or mated with edges of a supporting plate member. One edge of the supporting plate has a series of recesses and there is a cam toothed rod mounted in the mating track which is rotatably spring-biased to rotate the rod to bring the teeth and the recesses into engagement to lock the plates together and a lever handle attached to the rod is provided to manually rotate the rod to disengage the teeth for slidably adjusting the seat position.
