Abstract
A vehicle seat which comprises a back frame () provided inside a seat back () to support a headrest (). The back frame () includes right and left side frames (), and a plurality of support spring members (B,C) having opposite right and left ends () locked between the right and left side frames () and extending in a right-left direction to support a lumber region of an occupant. Each of the support spring members (B,C) is shaped such that a central region thereof protrudes frontwardly relative to the right and left ends thereof in an approximately flat state. Thus, the central region of the support spring unit is largely bent (depressed) rearwardly when a rearward load is applied thereto during a rear impact event.
