    a side frame mounted on the seat cushion frame;

    a seat back frame mounted on the side frame so as to be rotatable within a limited angle;

    the side frame having an insertion hole defined therein in which the fastening member is inserted, the side frame also having an impact absorbing structure;

    wherein the seat back frame is fixed to the side frame by the fastening member in a normal condition; and

    wherein where a load greater than a predetermined value is inputted from behind, a lower portion of the seat back frame is pushed upon a rearward movement of a seat occupant to thereby cause the fastening member to move rearwards while deforming the impact absorbing structure, thus causing the seat back frame to rotate with respect to the side frame and absorbing an impact.
