A vehicle seat includes a seat component member that has a frame member, a cushion material, and a support member arranged on the frame member. The support member includes a frame-shaped member having a polygonal shape that can be attached to the frame member, and a bag-shaped planar member that is attached to the frame-shaped member in a tensioned state to support the cushion material. The frame-shaped member can be accommodated in the bag-shaped planner member while at least one side of the frame-shaped member is at a contracted state. The frame-shaped member is maintained at an expanded state as the at least one side of the frame-shaped member is at a non-contracted state, such that the planner member is expanded from an inner side thereof and is maintained at the tensioned state.

An object is to enhance workability in attachment in a sound generating apparatus that generates sound by vibrating a vibration plate with a vibrator while ensuring acoustic performance as good as that achieved by fastening with fine screw threads. Workability in attaching operation is improved while ensuring acoustic performance as good as that provided by fastening with fine screw threads, by providing first fixing portion that brings engagement portions into screw engagement with each other by rotation by a predetermined angle that can be attained by a user without taking his/her hand that holds a coupler off it and second fixing portion for fixing the coupler to a bracket so as to prevent the coupler from rotating relative to said bracket in a direction to loosen the engagement achieved by said first fixing portion.

A vehicle seat may include a monitor device that is movably disposed in a back board of a seat back, and a drive mechanism coupled to the base portion of the monitor device. The monitor device includes a base portion and a monitor portion. The drive mechanism is arranged and constructed to move the monitor portion through a slot formed in the back board between a retracted position in which the monitor portion is positioned in an interior of the back board and a use position in which the monitor portion is positioned in an exterior of the back board while a display surface of the monitor portion is maintained in substantially parallel to the back board. The monitor portion is connected to the base portion so as to be rotatable about an axis that is perpendicular to a moving direction of the monitor portion.
