Abstract
A seat structure for a vehicle which is provided with a seat adjusting mechanism includes a dial-type handle projecting from a position on a seat which is in the vicinity of an occupant restraining webbing. The seat adjusting mechanism is actuated to effect adjustment of the seat by turning the handle. A recess is formed in the side of the handle which is closer to the surface of the seat, the recess extending in the circumferential direction of the handle. A cover member is disposed on the seat in opposing relation to the size of the handle which is closer to the surface of the seat, the cover member concealing a mechanism portion of the seat adjusting mechanism. In addition, a projecting wall is provided on the cover member so as to extend into the recess. Accordingly, the webbing is prevented from deeply entering the gap defined between the handle and cover member.
