Abstract:
1. A seat comprising: a back part frame which comprises a main frame and which is elastically deformable in a direction in which right and left side part frames of the back part frame are brought closer to, or moved away from, each other; a tensile structural element which is stretched between the right and left side part frames so as to configure a backrest; and a headrest mounted to an upper part of the back part frame, wherein the back part frame is configured such that the right and left side part frames are connected through an elastic member to a front part of the main frame which is connected to a seat part, the back part frame deforms in a direction such that the headrest is moved forward due to a tensile force acting on the tensile structural element, the back part frame is provided with the headrest at the upper part of the main frame, and a subframe is disposed in front of the upper part of the main frame, the tensile structural element is stretched, being wrapped around the upper part of the main frame and the subframe, and transforms the tensile force in a vertical direction into a force which acts to move an upper end of the main frame forward, the subframe comprises an upper subframe disposed in front of the upper part of the main frame and around which the tensile structural element is wrapped, and the right and left side part frames extend downward, respectively, from both right and left ends of the upper subframe and are able to be brought closer to, or moved away from, each other, the tensile structural element is stretched between the right and left side part frames, the upper subframe is connected to the upper part of the main frame through leaf springs in a manner that is able to be brought closer to or away from the upper part of the main frame, and a lower part of the respective side part frames is connected, through a leaf spring formed by being bent, to a lower part of the main frame such that the respective side part frames are independently rockable in an anteroposterior direction and in a lateral direction.
