ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat structure wherein a forward buttocks preventive element is movably provided against an emergency case. A rotatable arm, to which the forward buttocks preventive element is fixed, has a connecting pin slidably engaged in a guide hole formed in an actuator plate which is rotatably provided in the seat cushion. The actuator plate may be biasingly toggled between operative and inoperative positions under a biasing force of biasing element relative to a dead point. A seat belt control mechanism is operatively connected with that actuator plate. A great load applied in emergency case to the seat belt control mechanism causes both actuator plate and arm to rotate toward the operative position, thereby displacing the forward buttocks preventive element from a home position to a point for receiving a passenger's buttocks portion. The vehicle seat structure allows the forward buttocks preventive element to be returned to the home position.
