Abstract
A vehicle seat apparatus includes a seat portion, a seatback arranged on a rear side of the seat portion, a seat portion supporting mechanism that supports the seat portion such that a right side and a left side of the seat portion are able to move relative to one another in a vertical direction of the vehicle seat apparatus, and a seat portion restoring force generating mechanism that generates a restoring force that returns the seat portion to an original position when the seat portion rotates.
Claims10
A vehicle seat apparatus comprising:
- a seat portion;
- a seatback arranged to a rear of the seat portion;
- a seat portion supporting portion that supports the seat portion such that a right side and a left side of the seat portion are able to move relative to one another in a vertical direction of the vehicle seat apparatus;
- and
- a seat portion restoring force generating mechanism that generates a restoring force that returns the seat portion to an original position when the seat portion moves;
- a seatback supporting portion that supports the seatback such that a right side and a left side of the seatback are able to move relative to one another in a vertical direction of the vehicle seat apparatus;
- and
- a seatback restoring force generating mechanism that generates a restoring force that returns the seatback to an original position when the seatback moves;
- wherein
- the seatback supporting portion supports the seatback such that the right side and the left side of the seatback move relative to one another in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat apparatus, and
- the seat portion restoring force generating mechanism is an elastic member that is connected to the seat portion and a non-moving portion that supports the seat portion.
