Abstract
Two brackets are secured at their upper ends to side frames of a seat cushion part of a seat. Each bracket has at its lower end a first engaging portion which interlocks with a second engaging portion which is defined by either one of the vehicle floor and a structure which is disposed between the seat cushion part and the vehicle floor. The interlocking is so made as to permit sliding movement of the first engaging portion relative to the second engaging portion.
