Abstract
A fixing device for fixing a seat to a floor of a vehicle, the seat including a seat proper which extends between a front end and a rear end. The fixing device comprises a base serving to support the seat proper, and provided with a rear coupling and with a front coupling, the front coupling comprising an anchoring fork serving to co-operate with a horizontal rod secured to the floor to allow the seat to be pivoted between an in-use position and a tilted-forwards position, the anchoring fork being provided with a finger, and the device further comprising an elastically deformable blade that is secured to the floor and that serves to co-operate with the finger to lock the seat proper to prevent it from pivoting when it is in its tilted-forwards position.
