Abstract
The present invention relates to an operation lever arrangement structure of a vehicle seat. The seat is provided with a tilt down operation lever and a walk-in operation lever. These operation levers are disposed on a side surface portion of a shoulder portion of a seat back, so as to be in a condition in which the operation levers are laterally aligned with each other along a widthwise direction of the seat back, and are rotatably supported by a rotational shaft positioned parallel to a connection shaft so as to be rotated in the same direction as a rotating direction of the seat back. When the operation levers are rotated in a forwardly tilting direction of the seat back, the seat back can be tilted down forwardly. An end portion as an operating portion of the walk-in operation lever disposed on an inner side is shaped to have an extended portion that is extended to an upper surface position of the tilt down operation lever disposed on an outer side.
