ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a second lock mechanism (5) which interlocks a seat (1) with a rotating member (45) and renders the rotating member (45) non-rotatable with respect to the seat (1), and when the seat (1) is reclined the first lock mechanism (5) and the vehicle floor (2) are interlocked and rotation of the rotating member (45) with respect to the seat (1) is regulated, while when in a folded-up state, rotation of the seat (1) with respect to the vehicle floor (2) by an axle mechanism (44) is regulated by rotation control of the rotating member (45) with respect to the seat (1) by means of the interlocking of the second lock mechanism (5) and the seat (1), via a linkage mechanism (49), thus achieving a significant improvement in the usability of an automobile seat when adjusting it to a seating position or a folded-up position.
