Embodiment Construction

[0024] Referring now to the accompanying drawings, figure 1 There is shown a movable seat assembly or saddle seat assembly 10 embodying the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, the movable seat assembly 10 is shown mounted to the bottom support surface of a motor vehicle such as a reinforced inflatable boat (RIB) 12 by a pair of support feet 14 which form no cost invention part. Such mounts 14 are commercially available items that typically provide shock absorbing capabilities as desired.

[0025] The movable seat assembly 10 basically includes a saddle seat 16 and a spring assisted height adjustment mechanism 18 actuated by a latch bar. The seat assembly 10 may also include a pair of handles 20 , a backrest 22 and a pair of adjustable lateral leg supports 24 . A housing 26 (shown in phantom) protectively surrounds and encloses the height adjustment mechanism 18 .

[0026] With further reference to FIGS. 2-4 , saddle seat 16 has a durable, elongated seat structure...

Abstract

A jockey seat assembly is adapted to be used on a motorized vehicle and includes a saddle seat having a substantially inverted U-shaped configuration. A height adjusting mechanism is provided for the seat and has an upper frame mounted beneath the saddle seat, a lower frame adapted to be secured to a bottom surface of the vehicle and a collapsible lever assembly interconnected between the upper and lower frames. A biasing arrangement is secured between outermost ends of the lever assembly in the upper frame and the lower frame for urging the upper frame and the seat away from the lower frame.A pair of adjustment plates are fixed externally to the lever assembly and provided with a series of slots defining a number of vertical height adjusting positions. An actuator extends forwardly of the seat and the upper frame and is pivotally connected to the upper frame. The actuator has a pair of links normally biased into engagement with the slots for normally establishing a desired vertical height adjustment for the seat relative to the lower frame upon pivotal movement of the actuator. The jockey seat assembly may optionally include a pair of adjustable leg supports, a pair of handlebars and a backrest for further support.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates generally to vehicle seating structures, and more particularly to marine jockey seat assemblies. Background of the invention [0002] Riding seats or saddle seats are known for use in ruggedized high speed inflatable patrol boats originating from larger seagoing vessels such as Coast Guard vessels. When passengers of such boats sit or stand astride the seat, they are subject to violent and unpredictable rocking, pitching, heaving, shock and vibration. Bounces at high speeds on waves can cause injury and fatigue to the boat's operator and passengers under extreme conditions. Therefore, riding seats are usually provided with suspension pedestals or other shock absorbing systems to protect the passenger's body against the vertical acceleration accompanying high-speed sea vessels. Riding seats may also be designed with a backrest or handlebar to provide further support and stability in front of and behind the seat occupan...
