Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle seat, and more particularly to a vehicle seat capable of switching a seat body having a seat back and a seat cushion between a use state and a storage state.

Conventionally, there is known a vehicle seat that can be switched between a use state in which an occupant can be seated and a storage state in which the seat back is folded and the seat body is stored on the floor side of the vehicle body (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ).

A vehicle seat described in Patent Document 1 includes a cover structure that covers a gap between a seat back and a seat cushion with a cover member and that can be expanded and contracted by folding the cover member itself.
Specifically, the cover structure includes a cover member connected to the lower end of the seat back and the rear end of the seat cushion so as to cover the gap between the two. The intermediate portion of the cover member is folded by the folding portion to accommodate the dimensional change of the gap due to the relative movement of the seat back and the seat cushion.
Therefore, even when the state of the seat body is switched, the gap between the seat back and the seat cushion can be covered without spoiling the appearance.
