Abstract

A seat back structure of an automotive seat comprising a back support plate, plural springs, and torsion bar. The back support plate is supported in a seat back frame by the springs and torsion bar in a more positively resilient way. The provision of the torsion bar avoids the sudden backward movement of the back support plate which has been found in a conventional seat back structure wherein the support plate is only supported by springs.
