The present invention is not limited only to the rear seat of such a type, and any rear seat of a type in which a striker of a seat cushion is inserted and fixed in a hole of a floor panel can be used. It can also be applied to other types.

[0010]

According to the present invention, even when the rear seat is stored, the plug is inserted into the striker insertion hole of the floor panel and is securely engaged with the latch mechanism and held. Therefore, the striker insertion hole of the floor panel can be closed by the plug when the rear seat is stored, so that the appearance is improved and the appearance can be improved. In addition, it is possible to prevent dust or foreign matter (for example, small screws or balls) from entering the latch mechanism from the striker insertion hole of the floor panel, and there is no possibility that the operation of the latch mechanism will be disturbed.
