ABSTRACT:
To reduce the gap between the floor portion of a cargo compartment in a vehicle and a seat back when the cargo compartment is enlarged by forwardly bringing down the seat back of the passenger seat adjoining the driver or a rear seat, a vehicular seat structure is designed so that when the seat back of the rear seat is forwardly brought down by a predetermined angle, a pin provided on a bell crank is brought into contact with an upper end portion of a second link, and the second link is rotated. As a result, a first link is pulled upward and the bell crank is rotated so that the rear end portion of a slide lock lever is rotated in the direction causing the slide lock to be released. Thereafter, when the seat back is brought down further forwardly, a connecting member which can be in the form of one or more belts moves the seat rearwardly. A stopper contacts the first link and the movement of the seat is stopped.
