Abstract
A vehicle seat may include a seat cushion movably supported on a vehicle floor bracket, a seat back rotatably supported forwardly and rearwardly on the vehicle floor bracket via a seat reclining mechanism, a connecting mechanism interconnecting the seat cushion and seat back, and a supporting mechanism supporting the seat cushion on a vehicle floor. The connecting mechanism is fixedly connected to the seat cushion and is rotatably connected to the seat back. The connecting mechanism is arranged and constructed such that when the seat back is rotated forwardly, the seat cushion can be moved forwardly and downwardly and that when the seat back is rotated rearwardly from its normal position, the seat cushion can be maintained in place and not be moved.
