  • Vehicle seat structure
    Patent number: 11148562
    Abstract: A vehicle seat structure includes a vehicle seat including a seat cushion configured to support an occupant, an upper rail that is fixed to the vehicle seat and that moves in a seat front-rear direction together with the vehicle seat, and a lower rail that is fixed to a floor of a vehicle body and that engages with the upper rail and supports the upper rail so as to allow movement of the upper rail. The vehicle seat structure includes a lock mechanism configured to restrict movement of the upper rail with respect to the lower rail. The lock mechanism is configured such that at least part of the lock mechanism deforms when a force toward the seat front side arising due to inertia acts on the vehicle seat in a state in which the upper rail is engaged with a seat rear side portion of the lower rail.
