Abstract: An opening-and-closing body driving device includes an extendable unit including a spindle, a nut, a rod, a bearing, and a guide tube; and a driving unit. The guide tube includes an insertion portion, and an inner tube configured to allow movement of the nut in the axial direction and restrict rotation of the nut. A surface of the bearing facing a direction opposite to an insertion direction, in which the insertion portion is inserted, is defined as a first reference surface, and a surface of the housing facing a direction opposite to the insertion direction is defined as a second reference surface. A distance from the first reference surface of the bearing to a distal end of the inner peripheral wall is longer than a distance from the second reference surface of the housing to a distal end of the outer peripheral wall in the axial direction.

Abstract: Provided is a seatback rotating device used for a vehicle seat. The seatback rotating device includes an electric motor, an action mechanism, a rotor, and an abutment target portion. In the seatback rotating device, when s seatback of the vehicle sat is placed in a first standing position, the rotor is positioned in a standby state that creates a gap between a first protrusion and the abutment target portion and a gap between a second protrusion and the abutment target portion, the first protrusion and the second protrusion being provided to the rotor. In the standby state, a gap length from the first protrusion to the abutment target portion is small relative to a gap length from the second protrusion to the abutment target portion.

Abstract: Provided is a seatback rotating device. The seatback rotating device includes an electric motor and an application mechanism. The electric motor generates a rotational force that is used to rotationally displace a seatback of a vehicle seat. The application mechanism enables application of the rotational force to the seatback. The application mechanism has a configuration that enables the seatback to be self-rotatable with gravity applied to the seatback in response to the rotational force being applied to the seatback.

Abstract: A seat apparatus for a vehicle includes: an unlocking lever that is operated so as to unfix a seat from a vehicle floor; and a control switch that is operated in order for the seat to switch between a deployed state in which the seat is supported on the vehicle floor and a folded state in which the seat is retracted in a concave retraction portion of the vehicle floor, when a support member of the seat is driven via the driving of an actuator, wherein the unlocking lever is provided in a back surface of a seatback which is disposed at an opening end of the concave retraction portion when the seatback is folded forward and the seat is retracted, and the control switch is provided integrally with the unlocking lever.
