Abstract
A shoulder support adjuster includes a shoulder support, a bending angle adjusting mechanism, and a bending position adjusting mechanism. The bending angle adjusting mechanism and the bending position adjusting mechanism are provided within the shoulder support of a vehicle seat. At the bending angle adjusting mechanism, a bending angle of the seatback is adjusted by inflating an airbag. Further, at the bending position adjusting mechanism, by inflating the airbag and airbags, a flexed position of a shoulder plate is moved downward, and a bending position of the seatback changes downward. The bending position of the seatback is thereby adjusted.
