A vehicle seat including: a seat adjuster serving as an angle adjustment mechanism of a seat component; a seat frame integrally coupled to the seat adjuster and having a through-hole through which an outer surface portion of the seat adjuster is exposed; and a holding member which holds the seat adjuster in a state of being coupled to the seat frame by being coupled with the outer surface portion of the seat adjuster exposed through the through-hole and protruding outward than the through-hole in a hole diameter direction of the through-hole such that the seat frame is sandwiched between the seat adjuster and the holding member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat comprising: a seat adjuster serving as an angle adjustment mechanism of a seat component; a seat frame integrally coupled to the seat adjuster and including a through-hole having a hole diameter through which an outer surface portion of the seat adjuster is exposed; and a holding member which holds the seat adjuster in a state of being coupled to the seat frame by being coupled with the outer surface portion of the seat adjuster exposed through the through-hole and extending across the hole diameter of the through-hole such that the seat frame is sandwiched between the seat adjuster and the holding member. 2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the outer surface portion of the seat adjuster exposed through the through-hole includes a protrusion which is inserted into the through-hole. 3. The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the holding member includes a retaining ring which is fitted into an annular groove formed on an outer peripheral portion of a protruding portion of the protrusion which is a portion of the protrusion that has penetrated through the through-hole. 4. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the holding member is welded and fixed to the outer surface portion of the seat adjuster. 5. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the holding member and the outer surface portion of the seat adjuster are coupled together by an insertion-type fastening structure. 6. The vehicle seat according to claim 5 , wherein the holding member is coupled to the outer surface portion of the seat adjuster by being inserted into the outer surface portion. 7. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein, by being coupled with the outer surface portion of the seat adjuster, the holding member is abutted against the seat frame such that a play between the holding member and the seat frame in a hole diameter direction of the through-hole is filled.
