Abstract

See full text

A vehicle seat includes a seatback configured to be tiltable in a front-rear direction; and a flexible covering configured to extend from the seatback to a deck board positioned behind the seatback. The covering includes a shaped portion that is provided in an intermediate location in a length direction of the extending covering, and is shaped so as to facilitate bending of the covering toward a region below the deck board, and a reinforcing portion that increases rigidity of a region away from the shaped portion so as to facilitate transmission of elastic force to the shaped portion, the elastic force being generated at a time when the covering bends due to a change in a separation distance between both end portions of the extending covering in the length direction in response to tilting of the seatback.
