US Patent 11376994 Vehicle seat

Provided is a vehicle seat having a pitching function, which not only has an assist function for bringing a main frame to a seated position or a forward tilted position, but also prevents the increase in the width and the increase in the weight of the seat. The vehicle seat includes: a base frame; a main frame disposed on the base frame and having a back frame and a cushion frame; and a link mechanism that allows the main frame to swing to the seated position and the forward tilted position with respect to the base frame. A third rotating shaft of the link mechanism is provided with a torsion spring that urges the main frame to swing from the forward tilted position to the seated position.
