Vehicle seat

A vehicle seat comprising:

• a base portion installed on a floor of a vehicle;
• a seat cushion having a seating surface and provided on the base portion;
• and
• an ottoman having a leg rest surface and provided at a front end portion of the seat cushion, wherein
• the seat cushion is movable relative to the base portion between a seating position and a raised position, the seating position being a position at which the seat cushion allows for seating by the seating surface facing upward, the raised position being a position at which the seat cushion is raised by the front end portion of the seat cushion being flipped up from the seating position,
• the ottoman is changeable in shape between a retracted state and an expanded state, the retracted state being a state in which the ottoman is retracted by the ottoman being located on a side opposite to a side on which the seating surface is located when viewed from the seat cushion, the expanded state being a state in which the ottoman is expanded to protrude from the front end portion of the seat cushion by a tip portion of the ottoman being flipped up from the retracted state,
• the leg rest surface is provided to face upward when the seat cushion is placed at the seating position and the ottoman is in the expanded state,
• the vehicle seat further comprising:
• a conjunction mechanism that places the ottoman at a standby position when the seat cushion is placed at the seating position and the ottoman is in the retracted state, and that changes a relative position of the ottoman with respect to the seat cushion in conjunction with movement of the seat cushion so as to place the ottoman at a stored position when the seat cushion is placed at the raised position, the stored position being a position closer to the seating surface relative to the standby position;
• and
• a locking mechanism that permits relative movement of the ottoman with respect to the seat cushion when the seat cushion is not placed at the seating position, and that restricts the relative movement of the ottoman with respect to the seat cushion when the seat cushion is placed at the seating position, wherein
• the locking mechanism has an anchoring portion for anchoring the ottoman, a traction cable that has one end connected to the anchoring portion and that has the other end fixed to the base portion, and a wound portion provided with a peripheral surface around which the traction cable is wound, and
• the locking mechanism is configured to cause anchoring of the ottoman by the anchoring portion and canceling of the anchoring in response to a change being made in an amount of winding of the traction cable around the wound portion when the seat cushion is moved relative to the base portion.
