Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A vehicle seat comprises: left and right base frames (side portions 52, 53 of pipe frame 5 ) which extend in an upward-and-downward direction and constitute left and right portions of a seat back frame ( 2 ); a pressure-receiving member ( 10 ) disposed between the left and right base frames, and configured to move rearward upon receipt of a rearward load of a predetermined magnitude or greater from an occupant; a force-receiving member (bracket 7 ) disposed adjacent to a left or right outer side of one base frame (side portion 53 ), and configured to receive a load from outside in a lateral direction; and a load transmission part (lower portion 51 of pipe frame 5 ) disposed under the pressure-receiving member ( 10 ), connected to a lower end of the one base frame, and configured to transmit the load from the force-receiving member to a side laterally opposite to that on which the force-receiving member is provided. The force-receiving member is provided such that the lower end of the one base frame ( 53 ) is located within a width in the upward-and-downward direction of the force-receiving member.
