Abstract:
1. A vehicular seat comprising: a pair of right and left slide devices slidably retaining a seat cushion on a floor; right and left lock mechanisms locking the right and left slide devices; and a synchronous releasing mechanism releasing the right and left lock mechanisms in synchronism with each other, wherein: the synchronous releasing mechanism has a rod whose both end portions are rotatably mounted between upper portions of right and left side frames of the seat cushion, right and left levers mounted to portions of the rod near both end portions thereof to be incapable of rotating with respect to the rod and right and left connection members connecting the right and left levers and the right and left lock mechanisms to each other, and between the right and left levers and the right and left connection members, clearance portions are formed preventing the connection members from moving so as to release the lock mechanisms in synchronization with the levers when the side frames are downwardly crushed, and the rod and the levers move downwards, wherein the levers have connection holes to which end portions of the connection members are connected; and the connection holes are formed in an arcuate configuration, and, in the state in which the lock mechanisms are locked, have the clearance portions above the end portions of the connection members, with the end portions being capable of moving to the clearance portions.
