Abstract
1. A seat is mounted on a vehicle floor adjacent a side door. The seat comprises a seat base mounted on the floor and a seat back pivotally connected to the seat base. The seat back includes a seat back frame of metal, a horizontally extending reinforcing rod of metal secured to the seat back frame in such a manner that opposed ends thereof are projected laterally outwardly from two side portions of the seat back frame thereby to provide outwardly and inwardly projected portions, and a cushion pad covering both the seat back frame and the reinforcing rod so that the seat back has outside and inside lateral projections. The outwardly projected portion of the reinforcing rod extends toward the side door in closed condition. An air-bag unit is held by the outwardly projected portion of the reinforcing rod. The air-bag unit includes an air-bag which can be inflated between the seat back and the side door upon a vehicle collision.
