ABSTRACT:
An automobile seat includes a seat cushion and a seat back tiltably mounted on the seat cushion. The automobile seat also includes a seat cushion frame, a side frame mounted on the seat cushion frame, a seat back frame mounted on the side frame so as to be rotatable within a limited angle, and a fastening member mounted on the seat back frame. The side frame has an insertion hole defined therein in which the fastening member is inserted and also has an impact absorbing structure. When a load greater than a predetermined value is inputted to the seat from behind, a lower portion of the seat back frame is pushed upon a rearward movement of a seat occupant to thereby cause the fastening member to move rearward while deforming the impact absorbing structure. As a result, the seat back frame rotates with respect to the side frame, and an impact is absorbed by deformation of the impact absorbing structure.
