Embodiment Construction

[0025]In FIG. 1, a seat assembly 12 of the present invention is shown in partial cross section. The seat assembly primarily comprises a seat 60, an elevation mechanism 13, and a mounting structure 17. The elevation mechanism includes an inner post 14 and an outer post 16, which telescope in relation to one another. The inner post 14 extends downward into the mounting structure, including a sleeve 18, which is securely affixed to a fiberglass boat deck 20. For greater stability, a plate 22 may be welded to the inner post 14 and bolted to the deck 20.

[0026]The outer post 16 is slidably positioned over the inner post 14 and is equipped with a longitudinal slot 24. A pin 26 is attached to the inner post 14 and rides in the slot 24 of the outer post 16, thus allowing the outer post 16 to slide up and down but preventing it from rotating on the inner post 14.

[0027]Slip rings 15 are mounted on the top outer surface of the inner post 14 and ride on the inside surface of the outer post 16 to...

Abstract

A seat for a fishing or bass boat can be raised or lowered by an operator. The elevation mechanism preferably includes a power mechanism to operate a screw jack and the power mechanism may be battery powered, hydraulically powered, or operated by other power-assist means. The screw jack enables the seat to be raised to approximately twice its retracted height.

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 767,329 filed Mar. 18, 2006.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to the field of seats installed in fishing boats and, more particularly, to a power pedestal mounting for a bass boat seat so that the seat can be raised and lowered.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Pleasure boats such as fishing or bass boats are typically equipped with one or more swiveling seats. Such swiveling seats are mounted in a recessed hole or base in the raised deck of the boat. The seats thus provide a somewhat raised position for the angler who wants a better view of what is going on below the surface of the water.[0004]However, in most cases, the height of the boat seat is fixed, and thus does not afford an adequate view for the average fisherman. Consequently, the angler usually has to stand up to get a satisfactory view, or even climb up on a stepladder or similar structure, to get...
