The screen member includes: a main body portion disposed at a lower side of a rear face of the seat back, and a projecting portion projecting from the main body portion and disposed at the lower side of the seat cushion; and a resilient member, one end, in a length direction, of the resilient member being attached to the projecting portion, at which the main body portion is disposed, another end of the resilient member being attached to the seat cushion frame, and the resilient member being extensible in accordance with a tilting action of the seat back.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A vehicle seat, comprising:
a seat cushion frame structuring a framework of a seat cushion configured to seat a vehicle occupant; a seat back frame structuring a framework of a seat back, the seat back being tiltably coupled to the seat cushion and supporting an upper body of a vehicle occupant seated on the seat cushion; a routing member routed extending from a rear face side of the seat back to a lower side of the seat cushion; a sheet-shaped screen member provided extending from the rear face side of the seat back to the lower side of the seat cushion and screening the routing member from a vehicle cabin interior side, the screen member including:
a main body portion that is disposed at a lower side of a rear face of the seat back, and
a projecting portion that projects from the main body portion and that is disposed at the lower side of the seat cushion; and
a resilient member formed in an elongated shape, one end portion, in a length direction, of the resilient member being attached to the projecting portion at a side thereof at which the main body portion is disposed, another end portion, in the length direction, of the resilient member being attached to the seat cushion frame, and the resilient member being extensible in accordance with a tilting action of the seat back.

2 . The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein a cross portion is formed at the resilient member, at which cross portion a pair of the resilient members respectively intersect a reference line along a seat front-rear direction, and an intersection point of the pair of the resilient members at the cross portion overlaps with the projecting portion in plan view.

3 . The vehicle seat according to claim 2 , wherein the resilient members include a pair of side portions at respective outer sides, in a seat width direction, of the cross portion, the side portions being arranged along the seat front-rear direction, and the side portions partly overlapping with the projecting portion in plan view.

4 . The vehicle seat according to claim 3 wherein, in an upright state of the seat back, the pair of side portions overlap with corner portions at respective end portions, in the seat width direction, of the seat front side of the projecting portion in plan view.

5 . The vehicle seat according to claim 4 , wherein:
the resilient members comprise a pair of rubber members, and one of the pair of rubber members is formed as an integrated body comprising one side part of the cross portion and one of the pair of the side portions, and another of the pair of rubber members is formed as an integrated body comprising another side part of the cross portion and another of the pair of the side portions.
