Abstract: In a seat-rotating device that enables a seat to be rotated on a base member, a rattle-suppressing member operating in association with a lock member, which switches between the locked state in which rotation of an annular rotating member supporting a seat frame is prevented and release of the locked state, is in close contact with both a support member and the annular rotating member when the lock member is at the locked position, and a gap is created between the support member and the annular rotating member when the lock member attains the lock release position. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the seat from rattling when it is in a stationary state and to facilitate rotation by releasing the rattle-preventing state when the seat is rotating.

Abstract: A rotating device for a vehicle interior item is provided with latching means that is provided on a side of a base member having a rotation support part, and engagement means that is provided on a side of a rotating member supporting a vehicle interior item and being rotatably supported by the rotation support part, and can be switched between a state in which the engagement means engages with the latching means so as to suppress detachment of the rotating member from the base member and a state in which the engagement with the latching means is released when the rotating member attains the rotatable state, wherein the latching means and the engagement means are disposed further outside than the rotating member in plan view at least when the rotating member is in the non-rotating state. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress an increase in the height while suppressing detachment when the vehicle interior item is not rotating.

Abstract: A seat back frame assembly of the invention has side frame members (17, 17), an upper frame member (18), a lower frame member (19) and zigzag spring (15) mounted between the side frame members (17, 17). A side portion (27) of the lower frame member has a main connection portion (28) and a sub-connection portion (29), both of which are fixed to the side frame member (17). The main connection portion (28) is positioned below the zigzag spring (15). The sub-connection portion (29) is inclined toward a front upper side so that the sub-connection portion and the zigzag spring are at least partly overlapped with each other in a front-and-back direction.
