Abstract
A seat adjusting apparatus for a saddle-type vehicle having a seat provided with a backrest is disclosed. It is provided with an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the state of the backrest, such as the longitudinal position or the tilting angle of the backrest with respect to the seat. A manual operating apparatus connected to this adjusting mechanism and adapted to drive the adjusting mechanism is disposed on the side of the seat below the backrest. The rider can freely adjust the position, angle, etc. of the backrest by operating the manual operating apparatus while maintaining his attitude astride the seat. The backrest may be provided on both sides with waist holding members which are opened and shut sidewards by operating the manual operating apparatus. The adjusting mechanism may instead be driven by an adjusting mechanism drive member such as an actuator or a motor, and an operating switch for operating the adjusting mechanism drive mechanism may be disposed in the vicinity of a steering member of the vehicle. The present invention is also applicable to a seat adjusting apparatus of an automobile.
