## Abstract

A vehicle seat includes: a seat frame; a seat cover provided with a rupture portion; an airbag disposed in the seat; a pair of webbings provided so as to surround the airbag on a back surface side of the seat cover, one end sides of the webbings being mounted to the rupture portion; and a mounting section mounting the other end sides of the webbings to the seat frame. In a vehicle collision, the airbag is protruded out of the seat by rupturing and opening the rupture portion. The mounting section is provided at a place where a body of the seat frame is disposed. When the airbag is uninflated, the mounting section holds the other ends of the webbings apart from the body of the seat frame, and an inhibition portion in the mounting section inhibits contact between an edge-shaped portion formed in the body and the webbings.

a mounting section that mounts an other end side of each of the first and second webbings to the seat frame, wherein
in an event of a vehicle collision, the airbag is configured to protrude out of the seat by rupture of the rupture portion due to a strain of the first and second webbings and an inflation of the airbag,
the mounting section is provided at a body of the seat frame,
when the airbag is uninflated, the mounting section holds the other end side of each of the first and second webbings apart from the body of the seat frame, and
an inner surface of the first webbing extends along and is in contact with an outer surface of an inhibition portion of the mounting section that inhibits contact between an edge-shaped portion provided in the body of the seat frame and each of the first and second webbings, and
the other end side of the second webbing is disposed between a portion of the first webbing and the other end side of the first webbing in a seat width direction.
