The present invention has the above-described structure. The rotating arm 26 is attached to the different diameter portion 31 of the shaft 22 by resin integral molding, and the ratchet 25 is attached to the attachment fitting shaft 32 of the rotating arm 26.
The fitting groove 34 is pushed into the fitting groove 34 so that the two straddle portion 33 expands, and the fitting groove 34 is fitted, and the spring 36 is attached between the ratchet 25 and the rotating arm 26. In this case, the ratchet 25 only rotates about the mounting fitting shaft 32, and the ratchet 25 and the straddle 3
Since the base portion of 3 is formed to be narrower than the diameter of the mounting fitting shaft 32, once the fitting groove 34 of the ratchet 25 is fitted into the mounting fitting shaft 32, the rotating direction is different from the pulling direction. It does not come off, making the installation process extremely easy. Also,
By simply reversing the front and back of the ratchet 25, it can be used for both the left and right adjusting mechanisms 21.

As an example of the mounting process of the adjusting mechanism 21, the spring 44 is inserted through the shaft 22, and the shaft 22 in this state is locked at both ends of the spring 44 by the lower protrusions 43. Through the insertion hole 13 of the outer bracket 6 and then the cam body 24 through the shaft 22.
The inner end of the shaft 22 is inserted into the insertion hole 16 of the inner bracket 7, and in this state, the outer bracket 6 is fixed to the inner bracket 7 with a screw 48, and the adjusting mechanism 21 is attached to the outer bracket 6 and the inner bracket 7.

In this case, bosses 14 and 17 are formed on the periphery of the insertion hole 13 of the outer bracket 6 and the insertion hole 16 of the inner bracket 7 through which the shaft 22 is inserted.
The annular recess 4 is formed on the outer surface of the rotating arm 26 and the latch 23.
1. Since the annular recess 42 is formed, the annular recess 41,
The boss 14 and the boss 17 are fitted in the annular recess 42 and mounted on the shaft 22 without the need for a bush as in the conventional case.
The parts and installation process are simplified. In addition, the annular recess 41
Since the annular projection 46 and the annular projection 47 are formed on the periphery of the annular recess 42, respectively, the rotating arm 26
The annular projection 46 formed on the latch 23 provided on the side surface of the cam body 24 slides on the inner surface of the cam body 24, and the annular projection 47 slides on the inner surface of the outer side plate 8 on the outer surface of the rotating arm 26. Since the annular projection 46 of the latch 23 formed on the side surface is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the inner side plate 15 of the inner bracket 7, and the sliding contact surface is a line contact, each component operates without resistance. Also,
The outer bracket 6, the rotating arm 26, and the cam body 2 are brought into contact with each other by the annular projection 46 and the annular projection 47.
Since the 4 and the inner bracket 7 are assembled at a predetermined position, the mounting work becomes easy.

In the swing arm 50, the inner bracket 7 has a large-diameter lower large-diameter hole 68 and a large-diameter lower large-diameter hole 68 into which the cam abutting shaft portion 56 is movable in the left-right direction.
5 which is in communication with the bush and is inserted into the rotation center shaft portion 54.
Since the gourd-shaped insertion hole 67 including the small-diameter upper small-diameter hole 69 into which 9 is fitted is formed, before the rotation center shaft portion 55 is mounted on the mounting base 60, the cam contact shaft portion 56 is axially oriented. So as to be parallel to the axial direction of the shaft 22 (a in FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11), and then the tip of the cam contacting shaft portion 56 is attached to the lower large diameter hole 68 of the gourd-shaped insertion hole 67. And into the lower large-diameter hole 68 up to the middle of the cam contact shaft 56 (FIGS. 12 and 13). In this state, the tip of the cam contacting shaft portion 56 is inserted so as to face the inside of the bulging portion 10 of the outer bracket 6 (FIG. 9, B, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15). When the bent portion 58 between the rotation center shaft portion 54 and the rotation center shaft portion 54 passes through the inside of the lower large diameter hole 68 and is further pushed, the cam contacting shaft portion 56 becomes a direction intersecting with the shaft 22, and the rotation center shaft portion. 54 becomes parallel to the shaft 22 (C in FIG. 9,
16 and 17).

In this state, the cam contacting shaft portion 56 is located in the gap 70 between the inner surface of the upper and lower plate portions 9 of the outer bracket 6 and the outer periphery of the cam body 24, and is movable in the axial direction of the shaft 22. Therefore, the swing arm 50 is moved to the left and right, and the bush 63 inserted into the rotation center shaft portion 55 is fitted into the mounting hole 62 from the passage groove 61 of the mounting base 60, so that the rotation center shaft portion 55 side Complete the installation. Even in this state, since the rotation center shaft 55 is slidable in the left-right direction with respect to the bush 63, the entire swing arm 50 is moved left and right so that the cam contact shaft 56 matches the cam body 24. Let
The cam contact shaft portion 56 is made to face above the groove 27 of the cam body 24 (C in FIG. 9, FIG. 16 and FIG. 17). Next, while pushing the bush 59 of the rotation center shaft portion 54 so as to fit into the upper small diameter hole 69, the tip of the cam contact shaft portion 56 is rotated toward the cam body 24 side around the rotation center shaft portion 54. Bush 5
9 is fitted in the upper small diameter hole 69, the cam contact shaft portion 56 is located in the groove 27 of the left and right cam bodies 24, and the engaging portion 57 is formed in the cam body 2.
4 is engaged with the cam groove 28.

In the above mounting process of the swing arm 50, the relationship between the lower large diameter hole 68 and the upper small diameter hole 69 of the gourd-shaped insertion hole 67 and the bulging portion 10 of the outer bracket 6 is as follows.
When the bent portion 58 or the rotation center shaft portion 54 is in the lower large diameter hole 68, a gap 70 into which the cam contact shaft portion 56 can be inserted is formed between the outer periphery of the cam body 24 and the bulging portion 10. When the rotation center shaft portion 54 is located in the upper small diameter hole 69, the tip of the cam contact shaft portion 56 is inside the outer side plate 8, and the engagement portion 57 of the cam contact shaft portion 56 is located between the grooves 27. Since the engaging portion 57 is not disengaged from the groove 27 of the cam body 24 once the mounting is completed, the positioning is easy and the mounting is easy.

Further, on the outer periphery of the cam body 24, since a regular circular collar 29 is formed so as to deepen the groove 27, the engaging portion 57 of the cam contact shaft portion 56 is rotated to the uppermost side. Even if it does not come off from the collar 29 of the cam body 24, therefore, the inoperable state is prevented. It should be noted that the collar 29 is formed on the outer periphery of the cam body 24, and the attaching step does not change, and the gap 70 is formed only between the upper outer periphery of the collar 29 and the inner surface of the bulging portion 10. When the rotation center shaft portion 55 side is a free end, the rotation center shaft portion 54 can be inserted into the mount 5 through the lower large diameter hole 68 of the gourd-shaped insertion hole 67, and the rotation center shaft portion 55 can be rotated. When the rotation center shaft portion 54 is moved to the upper small-diameter hole 69, the engaging portion 57 cannot be disengaged from the flange 29, and the bending portion 58 of the swing arm 50 is fixed.

Is parallel to the shaft 22 (C in FIG. 9, FIG. 16 and FIG. 17), the cam contacting shaft portion 56 is in the gap 70 between the inner surface of the bulging portion 10 of the outer bracket 6 and the peripheral edge of the collar 29. Since the swing arm 50 is moved to the left and right, the bush 63 inserted into the rotation center shaft portion 55 is attached to the mounting base 60. The swing arm 50 is fitted into the mounting hole 62 through the passage groove 61 to complete the mounting on the rotation center shaft portion 55 side. In this state, the entire swing arm 50 is moved to the left and right so that the cam contact shaft portion 56 matches the cam body 24. Move the cam contact shaft 56 to the collar 29.
Face the cam body 24 between the collar and the collar 29 (see FIG. 9,
16 and 17), while pushing the bush 59 of the rotation center shaft portion 54 so as to fit into the upper small diameter hole 69, the tip of the cam contact shaft portion 56 is moved to the center of the rotation center shaft portion 54. The bush 59 is rotated to the side of the cam body 24 to move the bush 59 to the upper small diameter hole 6
9, the cam contact shaft portion 56 is located between the left and right flanges 29, and the engaging portion 57 engages with the cam groove 28 of the cam body 24.

In the mounting process of the swing arm 50, the rotation center shaft 55 is slid only with respect to the mounting base 60, and the cam contact shaft 56 is a large-diameter lower hole of the gourd-shaped insertion hole 67. Since it is only inserted from 68 and then rotated, it can be attached without twisting to an angle different from the used state or deformation of bending, and there is no strength design considering attachment other than the used state, Not only is the design easy, but since there is no twisting or bending deformation during the mounting process, the swing arm 50 reliably rotates back and forth, and the lumbar plate 20 surely acts evenly on the left and right.

When the vehicle is seated on the vehicle seat 1 and the operation handle 45 is rotated, the shaft 22 rotates,
The rotation arm 26 is rotated by the rotation of the shaft 22, and the ratchet 25 attached to the tip of the rotation arm 26 pushes the latch 23 to rotate the cam body 24 around the shaft 22, and the ratchet 25 is moved by the elasticity of the spring 44. Return to the original.
When the cam body 24 rotates, when the lumbar plate 20 is at the rearmost position, the cam groove 28 acts to cause the cam contact shaft portion 56 to move.
Rotates upward about the rotation center shaft portion 54, and the cam contact shaft portion 5
6 swings the swing arm 50 forward around the rotation center shaft portion 54 and the rotation center shaft portion 55, and the rotation center shaft portion 54 and the rotation center shaft portion 55 rotate the arm portion 53 forward to cause the lumbar plate to rotate. Push 20 forward and seat 1 for vehicle
Strongly adjust the degree of pressure on the waist and back of the seated person.

In the embodiment, when the operation handle 45 is further rotated, the lumbar plate 20 is pushed forward, and when it is moved to the foremost position, it is retracted. In this case, the swing arm 50 includes the left and right rotation center shaft portions 54 and the rotation center shaft portion 55.
Are arranged on the same line, and the rotation center shaft portion 54 and the rotation center shaft portion 55 are mounted on the mounting base 5 and the mounting base 60, respectively. It is transmitted to the movement of the lumbar plate 20 without loss, and acts reliably. Further, since the rotation direction of the cam contact shaft portion 56 is the vertical direction with respect to the center of the rotation center shaft portion 55, the rotation width of the cam contact shaft portion 56 can be increased without increasing the thickness in the front and rear of the seat 1. Therefore, the amount of forward and backward movement of the lumbar plate 20 can be increased.

Then, the outer bracket 6 of the mounting base 5
Forms the bulging portion 10 and the protrusion 43 and the like symmetrically in the vertical direction,
Similarly, since the inner bracket 7 has the gourd-shaped insertion holes 67 formed in the top and bottom, it can be attached to either the left or right of the skeleton frame 4. Further, since the cam body 24 has the latches 23 formed on the side surfaces of the left and right flanges 29, respectively, it is attached to either the left or right side of the skeleton frame 4. Therefore, the number of parts is reduced and the cost is reduced.
