  • Patent number: 4401290
    Abstract: A seat secured to a permanent floor by a seat stabilizer which provides increased comfort by absorbing the static shock and/or vibration created between the permanent structure and the seat cushion. The seat stabilizer comprises a plurality of steel bolts firmly supported in the permanent floor structure, each bolt being enclosed by a coil spring contacting the permanent floor structure and the seat cushion frame positioned around each bolt, thereby causing the seat cushion to float vertically along the bolt in response to sudden shocks or vibrations. A bushing mounted on the portion of each seat frame contacting the stabilizing bolts prevents wear due to the vertical movement of the floating seat cushion frame. The stabilizing bolts and associated spring are enclosed by an elastic boot thereby eliminating dust particles and the corrosive effects of the environment.
