Abstract:
1. A shock absorber for vehicle seat, the shock absorber suspended on a seat frame so as to elastically support a pad, the shock absorber comprising: a plurality of wires that are disposed parallel to the seat frame and have longitudinally extending portions, both ends of the wires being locked to the seat frame; and a resinous member that extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the wires and connects the longitudinally extending portions of the wires to each other, the resinous member having a bent portion, wherein the resinous member includes a first portion that extends in a plane connecting the plurality of wires in the transverse direction, the bent portion of the resinous member extends from the plane of the first portion so as to protrude away from the pad in a direction orthogonal to the plane of the first portion, the orthogonal direction being a thickness direction of the pad, and the resinous member is elastically deformable along the transverse direction in which the wires are opposed to each other in accordance with deformation of the bent portion.
