a plug member which is configured to be pushed into the opening on the seat front side of the through-hole in a drawable manner, wherein
the plug member is configured to block an air-flowing channel of an air which flows in from an opening on a seat back side of the through-hole and flows out from the opening on the seat front side of the through-hole in a state where the plug member is pushed into the opening.

2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plug member is configured as a separate body which is separate from the cover member and is configured to be pushed in the through-hole in a state where the cover member is opened.

3. The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein
the cover member is configured to be detachable from the plug member and to be attachable to the plug member which is in a state where being pushed into the through-hole to maintain closure of the hole.

4. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein
the cover member and the plug member are configured to have an upper hinge portion that allows the cover member and the plug member to move between an opened state and a closed state.

5. A vehicle seat comprising:
a seat body;
a through-hole formed in the seat body and extends in a front and rear direction of the vehicle seat between a front opening on a seat front side and a rear opening on a seat rear side;
an anchor located inside the through-hole;
a cover member configured to be movable between a closed position at which the cover member covers the front opening of the through-hole and an opened position at which the front opening of the through-hole is exposed; and
a plug member that is configured to be movable between an inserted position at which the plug member is inserted into the through-hole to plug the front opening of the through-hole and an extracted position at which the plug member is extracted out from the through-hole to expose the anchor from the front opening of the through-hole.

6. The vehicle seat according to claim 5 , wherein
the plug member is fixed to the cover member.

7. The vehicle seat according to claim 6 , wherein
the cover member has an upper hinge portion at which the cover member is attached to the seat body, the upper hinge portion allowing the cover member to be moved between the closed position and the opened position.

8. The vehicle seat according to claim 7 , wherein
the plug member is at the extracted position in a state where the cover member is at the opened position, and wherein
the plug member is at the inserted position in a state where the cover member is at the closed position.

9. The vehicle seat according to claim 5 , wherein
the plug member is configured as a separate body which is separate from the cover member and is movable between the inserted position and the extracted position while the cover member is at the opened position.

10. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein
the cover member is attachable to the plug member in a state where the plug member is at the inserted position to be maintained at the closed position.

11. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein
the cover member has a first upper hinge portion at which the cover member is attached to the seat body, the first upper hinge portion allowing the cover member to be movable between the closed position and the opened position.

12. The vehicle seat according to claim 9 , wherein
the plug member has a second upper hinge portion at which the plug member is attached to the seat body, the second upper hinge portion allowing the plug member to be movable between the inserted position and the extracted position.
