Claims4
A vehicle seat comprising:
- a seat structure member configured by connecting a seat back to a seat cushion in a tiltable manner;
- a carpet member disposed at a back surface of the seat structure member and configured to bend due to a rearward tilting of the seat back;
- and
- a reinforcing member attached to the carpet member, the reinforcing member including:
- a first section attached to a back surface of the seat back so as to face the back surface of the seat back when the seat back is in a standing state and configured to follow the seat back when the seat back is tilted from the standing state;
- a second section disposed between the carpet member and the seat back when the seat back is in the standing state so as to face a back surface of the seat cushion when the seat back is in the standing state;
- and
- a connection portion connecting the first section and the second section, the connection portion being configured to allow the first section to bend with respect to the second section when the seat back is tilted rearwards from the standing state, and restrict the first section from bending with respect to the second section when the seat back is tilted forwards from the standing state, wherein
- a lower end portion of the first section is depressed and has an installation portion which is disposed closer to the seat back than a surface of the first section that faces a rearward direction of the seat, and
- the connection portion is defined by an upper end of the second section superimposed on the installation portion from an outer side of the seat, the upper end of the second section being sandwiched between the installation portion and the carpet.
