  • Patent number: 10988051
    Abstract: A seat support mechanism including a leg pedestal (11), which is fixedly provided on a floor in the vicinity of a side wall (A), a moving pedestal (20), which is disposed under a top face part (12) of the leg pedestal (11) and is capable of being advanced/retracted in a direction orthogonal to the side wall A; an underframe (30) of the seat, which is disposed above the top face part (12) of the leg pedestal (11), and is turnably supported by a turning shaft (41) in the moving pedestal (20), the turning shaft (41) avoiding an interference with the top face part (12), and an interlocking mechanism (50), which interlocks turning and advancing/retracting of the underframe (30), in which, when the seat is turned together with the underframe (30), the interlocking mechanism (50) converts the turning motion of the underframe (30) into a linear motion and, through the turning shaft (41), transmits it to the moving pedestal (20), thereby causing the moving pedestal (20) and the underframe (30) to be advanced/retracted
