ABSTRACT:
A seat mechanism for vehicle includes a lower rail fixed to a vehicle floor; an upper member having an upper rail guided by the lower rail; a seat back pivoted on the upper member and movable between upright and forward-tilted positions; a slide lock mechanism for locking the upper member relative to the lower rail; a slide-position memory mechanism for remembering an adjusted position of the upper rail relative to the lower rail after the seat back has moved to the forward-tilted position; and a forward-tilt holding mechanism for holding the seat back in the forward-tilted position. The forward-tilt holding mechanism includes engaging members which engage when the seat back is in the forward-tilted position, and disengage when the seat back is in the upright position, the forward-tilt holding mechanism providing a resistance force during a returning operation of the seat back to the upright position.
