As a result, the upper arm 64 can rotate with respect to the lower arm 63, and the inclination angle of the seat back 92 with respect to the seat cushion 91 can be adjusted.

  As shown in FIG. 6, each walk-in mechanism 70 includes a reclining plate 71, a release lever 72, a rod 73, and a holding lever 74. As shown in FIG. 7, the reclining plate 71 has a substantially rectangular plate shape and is rotatably supported by the rotating shaft 65. The upper end of the reclining plate 71 is disposed so as to come into contact with a bracket 64 a fixed to the upper arm 64 when the upper arm 64 rotates in the vehicle front direction at a predetermined angle or more with respect to the lower arm 63. Therefore, when the upper arm 64 is rotated in the vehicle front direction at a predetermined angle or more with respect to the lower arm 63, the reclining plate 71 is rotated with respect to the rotation shaft 65 by the bracket 64a. The release lever 72 is rotatably supported by a pin 72 a on the outer side in the seat width direction of the vertical wall 44 of the upper rail 42. As shown in FIG. 4, a contact pin 72 b that protrudes toward the vertical wall 44 of the upper rail 42 is fixed to the release lever 72. Further, the pressing portion 57b of the operation lever 57 is inserted through the opening 44a formed in the vertical wall 44 of the upper rail 42 and faces the contact pin 72b so as to be able to contact. Further, the release lever 72 is urged to rotate in a direction in which the contact pin 72b is separated from the pressing portion 57b by a spring 72c provided around the pin 72a. As shown in FIG. 7, the release lever 72 is formed with an engaging stepped portion 72d and a contact convex portion 72e. The rod 73 connects the lower end of the release lever 72 and the lower end of the reclining plate 71.

  The holding lever 74 is rotatably supported on the outer side in the seat width direction of the vertical wall 44 of the upper rail 42 by a pin 74a. An arm portion 74b that can engage with the engagement step portion 72d of the release lever 72 and that can contact the contact convex portion 72e protrudes from the holding lever 74. The holding lever 74 is urged to rotate in a direction in which the arm portion 74b engages with the engagement step portion 72d by a spring (not shown) disposed around the pin 74a.

When tilted, the bracket 64b of the upper arm 64 and the reclining plate 71 come into contact with each other, and the reclining plate 71 rotates counterclockwise (see FIG. 7). As the reclining plate 71 rotates, the rod 73 is pulled backward, and the release lever 72 rotates counterclockwise (see FIG. 7) against the urging force of the spring 72c. Accordingly, the contact pin 72b of the release lever 72 pushes down the pressing portion 57b of the operation lever 57, and the pressing portion 57b pushes down the interlocking portion 56b of the lock lever 56. Then, the lock lever 56 is rotated counterclockwise (see FIG. 4) against the urging force of the spring 55b, and the engagement between the lock claw 56a of the lock lever 56 and the lock hole 41b of the lower rail 41 is released. . Thus, due to the biasing force of the spring 43, the upper rail 42 slides in the vehicle front direction with respect to the lower rail 41, and the walk-in seat 90 moves in the vehicle front direction with respect to the floor.

  At this time, the holding lever 74 is rotated counterclockwise (see FIG. 7) by releasing the contact between the arm 74b and the contact projection 72e by the rotation of the release lever 72. Then, the arm portion 74b is engaged with the engagement step portion 72d, and the disengagement between the lock claw 56a of the lock lever 56 and the lock hole 41b of the lower rail 41 is maintained. In this state, the leg 74 d of the holding lever 74 is disposed on the memory plate 46 fixed to the lower rail 41.
