Abstract: A vehicle seat is disclosed which is provided on its surface with a plurality of intersecting, recessed grooves for decoration. The seat includes a cushion member formed of a foam material and provided on its surface with a plurality of intersecting, recessed grooves. Projections are provided adjacent to the intersections of these recessed grooves, respectively. Such projections can prevent wrinkles from being produced in the intersections of the decorative recessed grooves formed in a top member which is a component of the seat. Specifically, when such top member placed over the cushion member is hung in along the recessed grooves of the cushion member, the recessed grooves for decoration are formed on the surface of the top member. During this hang-in operation, the projections are compressed so that repelling resilient forces are produced in these projections.

Abstract: A back frame forming a part of a seat back of a seat for use in a vehicle such as an automobile is disclosed. The back frame is extended at its lower end(s) with a reinforcement portion and this reinforcement portion is attached to the inside surface of a lower bracket of a reclining adjuster mounted to a cushion frame, so that any displacement loads applied to the back frame can be shared in part by the lower bracket to improve the strength and rigidity of both of the upper bracket of the reclining adjuster and the back frame.
