Vehicle Seat

摘要

A vehicle seat includes a base frame ( 14 ) attached to a vehicle body, a plate-like movable plate ( 13 ) mounted to the base frame by a front mounting shaft ( 16 ), and a cushioning mechanism ( 18 ) disposed between the base frame and the movable plate. The cushioning mechanism includes an upper connector ( 21 ) connected to the movable plate and a lower connector ( 24 ) connected to the base frame such that the upper connector and the lower connector are coupled to each other by a viscous material damper ( 32 ) and a spring ( 33 ). The viscous material damper is adapted to apply resistance to relative movement of the upper connector and lower connector and the spring is adapted to receive and support a load acting on the lower connector from the upper connector.
