Abstract
A vehicle seat is disclosed, which comprises a base, a seating section supported on the base, a back support section disposed adjacent to the seating section and supported by the base at two vertically spaced apart positions such that it is rotatable in the forward and rearward directions relative to the seating section, and a head support section disposed above and mounted on the back support section. The seat has a pair of shoulder belts each having an upper end attached to the top of the back support section such that it is turned toward each side thereof and movable along the back support surface thereof and a lower end movably attached to each side of the back support section. Shoulder belt attaching units for the upper and lower ends of the shoulder belts permit adjustment of the positions of attachment of the belts in the horizontal and vertical directions. Buffer means permit the upper end of each shoulder belt to be withdrawn when the belt is pulled.
