VEHICULAR TURNING SEAT

摘要

A prior vehicular turning seat for the use of, for example, an aged or disabled person, posed the problem of inconvenience of use because of the need of sliding a seat body forward and turning the seat body toward entrance and exit side, and another problem of sacrificing a space at a passenger's feet when a position of the seat is set forward in order to turn the seat without sliding it. A vehicular turning seat, in which a space at a passenger's feet is not sacrificed and which is convenient to use, wherein a seat body (2) is turnably supported by a rotating disk (13) which is mounted in a position offset from the center (HP) of a seat surface toward an entrance and exit side, and a pinion gear (6), an intermediate gear (36) and a rack (38) mesh with one another to interlock turning action with forward and rearward moving action of the seat body (2).
