At least one of the connecting means has a rotating member provided for adjusting and fixing a tilt angle of the seat back with respect to the seat bottom. The rotating member has a shape corresponding to a circumference of the end portion and has means for temporarily attaching the back frame to the base frame, and the temporarily attaching means have a hook.
