A seating apparatus for a vehicle, in which a seat cushion supported on the vehicle body by a link member can be flipped up toward the front of the vehicle from a use position and which includes a locking mechanism that operates only when the seat cushion is acted upon by an inertial force greater than a predetermined force in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, to temporarily prevent the seat cushion from flipping up. The locking mechanism includes a locking plate supported on the seat cushion and rockable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle between a normal position and a rocked position, and a spring for urging the locking plate toward the normal position. The locking plate locks the seat cushion to the link member when it is moved inertially to the rocked position against the force of the spring, to prevent the seat cushion from flipping up, and the locking plate unlocks the seat cushion when it is located in the normal position.

Seating apparatus for vehicle

A headrest device as applied to a haigh back seat, wherein a headrest body is formed independently of a seat back of the seat, and wherein a first engagement element of the headrest body is engaged with a second engagement element of the seat back, to thereby secure such separate headrest body to the seat back. This arrangement allows improvement in design, coloring and appearance for each of headrest and seat back in the high back seat.
