ABSTRACT:
An automotive seat comprises a seat slide device mounted on a vehicle floor between a side sill and a tunnel portion. The seat slide device includes a movable rail which moves in a given direction along the side sill. A seat cushion frame is mounted on the movable rail to move therewith, and a seatback frame is pivotally connected to the seat cushion frame through paired pivot devices. A reinforcing structure is incorporated with at least one of the seat cushion frame and the paired pivot devices to provide the seat with a tough resistance against a side vehicle collision. The reinforcing structure includes a reinforcing beam secured to two mounting brackets secured by respective flange plates to the side sill and the tunnel portion. In another aspect of the invention, another bracket is secure to the top of the tunnel portion and also secured to the corresponding flange plate of the reinforcing beam.
