Abstract
A seat riser for use with a motor vehicle of the type having longitudinally spaced and laterally extending front and rear floor mounted strikers to removably mount a seat in the vehicle has front and rear latches connected to a frame by pivot pins. Each latch has a hook. The front latch pivots to a latching position in which its hook engages an underside of the front striker. The rear latch pivots to a latching position in which its hook engages an underside of the rear striker. The latches are pivoted to and from their latching positions by a handle connected to one of the latches, with a link interconnecting the latches. The relationship of the latches to each other and to the link is such that one of the latches engages and disengages its striker before the other, thereby reducing the maximum force needed to pivot the latches to and from their latching positions.
