Abstract
A structure of a footrest body in a vehicle seat, in which an air blower is provided under the seat to supply a hot or cold air toward a back side of the seat, and the footrest is equipped on the back wall of seat, with the free end of footrest body being contacted with a floor. In such type of footrest body structure, an opening is defined in the footrest body, though which opening the hot or cold air is permitted to be flowed from the blower toward the back side of seat, without hindrance of the footrest body body per se. It is further arranged that the footrest body can be lowered when it is set in the upright non-use position, to thereby improve the aesthetic appearance of the back wall of seat.
