When a rear seat is moved forward, a front leg is swung forward around a roller arm. When the front leg of the rear seat is swung forward by a predetermined angle, a hook provided in the roller arm is detached from a round bar portion of a striker so that a roller is moved downward along a guide rail. Further, as the roller is moved downward along the guide rail, the front leg of the rear seat is swung forward around the roller arm. Therefore, a radius of rotation of the seat is reduced when the rear seat is moved to a position for storage on a vertical-front-side floor surface.

The retractable head lamp device includes a fixed bracket for fixing the device to the vehicle body, a movable bracket having a head lamp for positioning the head lamp between the retracted and projected positions, a drive mechanism having a motor to rotate the movable bracket relative to the fixed bracket. The device further includes a stopper member to define the retracted position of the movable bracket. The stopper member includes a threaded hole and the movable bracket includes a hole corresponding to the threaded hole of the stopper member for inserting a bolt into the holes to fix the relative position thereof during adjusting the relative position between the movable bracket and the drive mechanism so that the lines between the head lamp cover and the outer surface of the vehicle hood may be in a line.
