Abstract
A structure of revolving seat including a revolving frame member and a pedestal fixed at the side of a floor of vehicle. A latch unit is provided between the revolving frame member and pedestal to prevent breakage of the revolving seat and its associated revolving mechanism. The latch unit comprises: a first latch element including a protrudent portion and an engagement hole; and a second latch element including a latch pawl portion. The latch pawl portion of the second latch element is latchingly engaged in the engagement hole of the first latch element, thereby reinforcing the revolving frame member and allowing a great load applied to the revolving seat to be transmitted and escaped through the latch unit to the floor of vehicle.
