Seat connection mechanism

Abstract

A seat connection mechanism includes a saddle bracket portion having an upper channel and a rearward channel and a protective cap hingedly connected thereto adjacent the upper channel, and a pin portion having an upper pin and a rearward pin protruding therefrom. The upper pin and the rearward pin are positioned such that, and are spaced apart by a distance such that, when the rearward pin is inserted into the rearward channel with the pin portion being tilted upwardly, the pin portion is pivotable downwardly such that the upper pin is insertable into the upper channel. The protective cap is movable from an open position wherein the upper pin is insertable into the upper channel to a dosed position wherein the protective cap inhibits objects from falling into the upper channel and inhibits removal of the upper pin from the upper channel.
