Abstract

Disclosed is a vehicle seat with suspension device in which there is fixed a belt anchor to be jointed with a seat belt and the suspension device is adapted for absorbing a vibration or shock. In such seat, there are a pair of protection plates arranged such that they are respectively fixed on the rearward portions of the upper and lower frames of the suspension device and are disposed in a vertically mutually meeting relationship. Each of the protection plates are at its end portion formed with a curved or bent engagement terminal portion so arranged that both engagement terminal portions of both protection plates are in a halfway engagement with each other, with a predetermined distance present between their extremities and innermost curved portions. This arrangement allows a pulling force exerted on the belt anchor to be transmitted through the protection plates to the vehicle floor and received by the same.
