The present invention relates to an operation lever arrangement structure of a vehicle seat. The seat is provided with a tilt down operation lever and a walk-in operation lever. These operation levers are disposed on a side surface portion of a shoulder portion of a seat back, so as to be in a condition in which the operation levers are laterally aligned with each other along a widthwise direction of the seat back, and are rotatably supported by a rotational shaft positioned parallel to a connection shaft so as to be rotated in the same direction as a rotating direction of the seat back. When the operation levers are rotated in a forwardly tilting direction of the seat back, the seat back can be tilted down forwardly. An end portion as an operating portion of the walk-in operation lever disposed on an inner side is shaped to have an extended portion that is extended to an upper surface position of the tilt down operation lever disposed on an outer side.

Vehicle seat having an operation lever arrangement structure

A headrest for a vehicular seat has a base member, a headrest main body and a cable. The base member has a stay held by a side of a seat back. The headrest main body is movably attached to the base member. The cable is pulled when the headrest main body is moved relative to the base member. The cable includes an outer cable and an inner cable inserted to the outer cable. The outer cable is attached with a cap at an end portion thereof. A fixing structure for fixing the cap to an end portion of the stay is provided between the cap and the end portion of the stay. And the inner cable penetrates a shaft hole of the stay by exceeding the outer cable and is moved relative to the outer cable and the stay by being pulled when the headrest main body is moved.
