Abstract
A vehicle seat including a slide lock mechanism which is configured to lock a locked part provided to a second rail side to a locking part provided to a first rail side or release the locking of the locked part and the locking part, and a walk-in mechanism including a shifting preparation mechanism part which is provided to the first rail side, a holding mechanism part which is provided to the second rail side and holds a locking released state of the slide lock mechanism, and a holding release mechanism part which is provided to the second rail side and shifts the locking released state of the slide lock mechanism to a state where the slide lock mechanism is capable of shifting to the locked state.
Claims2
A vehicle seat comprising:
- an elongated first rail fixed to an interior wall surface of a vehicle;
- a second rail which is configured to move relative to the first rail in a longitudinal direction thereof and support a seat main body;
- a slide lock mechanism which is configured to lock a locked part provided to the second rail side to a locking part provided to the first rail side or release the locking of the locked part and the locking part at a predetermined relative position of the second rail to the first rail in a lockable region, the lockable region being a region where the locking part and the locked part are configured to be selectively locked to each other at a plurality of positions in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- a walk-in mechanism which is provided to the first rail side and the second rail side and is configured to release a locked state of the slide lock mechanism and hold a state where the locked state is released in association with a forward tilting operation of a seat back,
- wherein the walk-in mechanism includes a shifting preparation mechanism part which is provided to the first rail side at a position on a front side of the lockable region and is configured to shift the slide lock mechanism from a locking released state to a state where the slide lock mechanism is capable of shifting to the locked state, and
- wherein the walk-in mechanism includes a holding mechanism part which is provided to the second rail side and holds the locking released state of the slide lock mechanism when the seat main body in which the seat back is in a forward-tilted state is slid so as to come into contact with the shifting preparation mechanism part from the rear side, and a holding release mechanism part which is provided to the second rail side and shifts the locking released state of the slide lock mechanism to the state where the slide lock mechanism is capable of shifting to the locked state when the seat main body in which the seat back is in the forward-tilted state is moved rearward from a foremost position to which the seat main body can slide and comes into contact with the shifting preparation mechanism part from the front side.
