Abstract: A latch mechanism for use with a tiltable seat having the forward end thereof supported by a base for movement about a transverse horizontal axis. The latch mechanism includes a pair of overlapping lock members pivotally interconnected for relative movement in a scissors fashion with each lock member having a lower portion formed as a J-shaped hook and an upper portion having an opening therein. A spring urges the lower portions of the lock members towards each other into a locked position with the base and a release member having an inner end extending into the openings in the upper portions of the lock members causes the lower portions to be spread apart against the bias of the spring so as to place the lock members in an unlocked position.
