Abstract
A vehicle seat, in which a seat back configured to be superimposed on a seat cushion by folding forward, comprises a shield and a cover member. The shield hides the end of a first rotating shaft that rotates the seat back with respect to the seat cushion. The cover member is flexible and has a plate-shape. The cover member is arranged on a corner portion of the back cover of the seat back in order to hide the shield from the front. The cover member has an elastic member extending from a lower end of the cover member. The elastic member is hooked to the shield. The elastic member is provided between the cover member and the shield so that the elastic member remains in tension even when the seat back is superimposed on the seat cushion by folding forward.
