An actuating mechanism (release mechanism) includes an operating pin (operating mechanism) that is operated by an operating lever, a first link that is operated by the operating pin to release a lock of a longitudinal slide mechanism, and a second link that is operated to release a lock of a lateral slide mechanism. A transmitting portion that receives operating force of the lever transmitted from the operating pin and transmits the operating force to a lock portion of each slide mechanism, and an escape portion that allows the operating force transmitted from the operating pin to escape are formed side by side on each of the links, and power transmitted from the lever to each of the links via the operating pin is allowed to escape during operation.

Vehicle seat

A vehicle seat including: a base member; a rotary member which is connected to the base member by a pin and is configured to be rotatable with respect to the base member; and a spring attached between the base member and the rotary member and urging the rotary member with respect to the base member in a rotating direction, wherein the spring abuts an outer circumference of the pin, and wherein the pin is integrally coupled to the rotary member.

A vehicle sheet includes: a longitudinal sliding mechanism configured to support a seat body such that the seat body is slidable relative to a vehicle floor in the vehicle longitudinal direction; a lateral sliding mechanism configured to support the seat body such that the seat body is slidable in the vehicle lateral direction; a reclining mechanism configured to connect a seat back to a seat cushion and adjust a reclining angle of the seat back; a first lever configured to be able to cancel fixation of the reclining angle of the seat back, which has been provided by the reclining mechanism; and a release mechanism configured to release locks on both the longitudinal sliding mechanism and the lateral sliding mechanism upon detection of a motion of tilting the seat back to a forward tilt position, which is caused by an operation of the first lever.
