<Za>
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 to 12, the seat 4 is provided with an outer shell 41 attached on the seat frame 3 and the outer shell 41. A seat main body 42 having an inner shell 421 is provided. Between the outer shell 41 and the inner shell 421, a slide guide mechanism 43 for sliding the inner shell 421 in the front-rear direction with respect to the outer shell 41, and moving the inner shell 421 to a desired sliding position. A slide positioning mechanism 44 is provided for locking.

  The outer shell 41 has a load receiving surface 411 for receiving a load from a seated person on the upper surface side. The load receiving surface 411 is formed around a sitting reference point T set in the second half region, and includes an inclined portion 412 that gradually rises forward from the sitting reference point T to the front side. . By providing the inclined portion 412, the forward displacement of the seated person can be suppressed, and the fit at the time of sitting can be improved.

  The operation grip S1 provided below the outer shell 41 is for reaction force adjustment, and adjusts the spring preload of the tilt reaction force generation mechanism 24 provided in the support base 2. ing. On the lower surface of the outer shell 41, a height adjusting lever S2 for adjusting the height position of the seat 4, a tilt locking lever S3 for locking the backrest 6 at a desired locking position, A push button S4 for locking the slide position for operating the slide guide mechanism 43 is provided. Further, a forward tilting lever S5 for operating a seat forward tilting means 45, which will be described later, is provided at the front edge corner of the outer shell 41.

  The seat body 42 includes an inner shell 421 disposed on the outer shell 41 through a slide guide mechanism 43 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, a cushion 422 disposed on the inner shell 421, and the cushion. 422 and a seat skin material 423 that surrounds the lower surface of the peripheral edge 425 of the inner shell 421.

  The inner shell 421 includes a load transmitting portion 424 for supporting a load from a seated person on the load receiving surface 411 at a portion corresponding to the load receiving surface 411. The inner shell 421 has a shell shape including a step portion 426 whose peripheral edge portion 425 becomes higher in the vicinity of the peripheral edge, and is integrally formed of a synthetic resin that can be elastically deformed. The region surrounded by the step portion 426 includes a front half shell portion 427 that can be slidably in contact with the front half region of the outer shell 41 and a rear end shell that can be slidably in close contact with the rear half region of the outer shell 41. The main part is composed of a part 428 and an intermediate shell part 429 that smoothly leads the front edge of the rear end shell part 428 to the rear edge of the front half shell part 427. The intermediate shell portion 429 is provided with the load transmission portion 424.

  The load transmitting portion 424 is formed by forming a plurality of slits 420 extending in the front-rear direction in the intermediate shell portion 429 with a space in the left-right direction. In a no-load state, a space P <b> 1 is formed between the lower surface of the load transmission portion 424 and the load receiving surface 411. The load transmitting portion 424 can be elastically deformed relatively easily in the thickness direction due to the presence of the slit 420. That is, the load transmitting portion 424 is configured to elastically deform downward and contact the load receiving surface 411 of the outer shell 41 when receiving a load from a seated person. In other words, the load from the seated person is finally received by the load receiving surface 411 of the outer shell 41 via the load transmitting portion 424.

  The inner shell 421 that is guided by the slide guide mechanism 43 having the above configuration and slides in the front-rear direction can be positioned and locked at a desired slide position by the slide positioning mechanism 44.

  The slide positioning mechanism 44 includes an operation member 441 that can be moved up and down from a lower lock position to an upper lock release position, and a plurality of positioning units that selectively correspond to the operation member 441 as the inner shell 421 slides. And an engaging portion 443 for use. In the slide positioning mechanism 44, the inner shell 421 is prohibited from sliding while the operation member 441 is lowered to the lower lock position and engaged with the corresponding engagement portion 443, and the operation member 441 is moved to the upper position. The engagement with the engagement portion 443 is released in the state where the lock is raised to the unlocked position, and the sliding movement of the inner shell 421 is allowed. The operation end of the operation member 441 protrudes from the lower surface side of the outer shell 41. By operating the push button S4 of the operation member 441 upward, the main part of the seat 4 including the operation member 441 can be moved with respect to the outer shell 41, and the seating depth dimension of the seat 4 can be changed. It has become.

  The cushion 422 is formed by pasting a nonwoven fabric on the lower surface of molded urethane, for example. More specifically, the cushion 422 is mounted on the upper surface of the inner shell 421 and is wrapped by the seat skin 423 made of cloth or the like together with the peripheral edge 425 of the inner shell 421. .
