Abstract
A floor latch assembly includes a mounting bracket secured to the seat cushion of an automotive seat. A latch hook is pivotally connected to a side wall of the mounting bracket and engages a striker pin on the floor of a vehicle. A cam lock hook is pivotally connected to the mounting bracket and engages the latch hook to create a locking mechanism for securing the seat to the striker pin. An anti-separation member maintains alignment of the latch hook and the cam lock hook to enhance the locking mechanism.
