    Abstract: Disclosed is a movable floor apparatus for a vehicle, which comprises a movable board 5 disposed beneath feet of an occupant seated in an occupant seat 4, a drive source 6 disposed below the occupant seat 4, and a driving-force transmission mechanism 7 adapted, according to a driving force of the drive source 6, to input a force directed in a selected one of frontward and rearward directions of a vehicle body, into a rear portion of the movable board 5. The movable board 5 is supported in such a manner as to be selectively displaced upwardly and downwardly in response to respective ones of the frontward and rearward forces input from the driving-force transmission mechanism 7. The movable floor apparatus of the present invention makes it possible to allow a lowermost height position of a movable board to be set at a lower level so as to cope with various seating postures with enhanced flexibility.
