Abstract:
1. A vehicle seat device comprising: a first arm connected to a first frame forming a framework for one of a seat cushion and a seatback; a second arm fixed to a second frame forming the framework for the other of the seat cushion and the seatback; a recliner sandwiched between and joined to the second arm and the first arm, the recliner including a first axis; a drive source providing a relative rotation between the first arm and the second arm to change an inclination angle of the seatback relative to the seat cushion; the first arm rotationally connected to the first frame at a center of a second axis parallel to the first axis of the recliner; a locking mechanism equipped on the first arm and the first frame, the locking mechanism restricting a rotation between the first arm and the first frame by engaging the first arm and the first frame when the first arm is rotated to a first rotational end with respect to the first frame; and a control unit driving and controlling the drive source to adjust the inclination angle of the seatback relative to the seat cushion to a predetermined angle range when the locking mechanism is disengaged and the first arm is rotated to a second rotational end with respect to the first frame.
