A cable adjuster has a main case, an outer casing fixing member, a number of sliders, and a locking member. The main case is configured to insert the inner cable in the cable axial direction. The outer casing fixing member affixes to an end of a pre-branch outer casing, which is the tube section of the outer casing before branching, to the main case. The sliders are arranged in parallel in the slots formed in the main case so as to slide in the cable axial direction. The sliders affixes to the ends of a plurality of post-branch outer casings, which are the post-branch tube sections of the outer casing. The locking member locks the sliding movement of the sliders with respect to the main case in the cable axial direction.

A lifting mechanism of a vehicle seat for adjusting a seating height position of the vehicle seat is provided. The lifting mechanism includes a lifter link having one side that is rotatably shaft-supported to a floor-side member provided on a vehicle floor and the other side that rotatably shaft-supports a frame member of a seating-side configuring part for seating; and a stopper link having one side that is rotatably shaft-supported to the floor-side member and the other side that is loosely fitted in a long hole formed in the lifter link. A rotation of the lifter link in a rear direction is restrained by a loosely fitted portion of the stopper link contacting an inner circumferential part of the long hole. A rotation of the lifter link in a front direction is restrained by a restraining contract part provided to the lifter link contacting a stopper part provided to the floor-side member. The restraining contact part is provided at a further outer side in a rotationally radial direction than a position of a front-side end portion of the long hole, with respect to a rotatable shaft support point of the one side of the lifter link.

Lifting mechanism of vehicle seat

The present invention can include a vehicle seat having a table, the table including a table main body, a shaft member, a first hinge structure that pivotably connects the table main body to one face of the vehicle seat and a second hinge structure that pivotably connects the shaft member to the one face of the vehicle seat. The table main body includes a holding member which is capable of slidably holding a front end portion of the shaft member and a lock member which is capable of engaging with the shaft member, and the lock member is provided at a position different from the holding member. Further, the table main body is movable between a containing position constituting a state of facing the one face of the vehicle seat and a using position constituting substantially a horizontal state by movement of the shaft member, and the lock member is engaged with a front end side portion of the shaft member at the using position and engaged with a back end side portion of the shaft member at the containing position.
