Abstract
A rotating vehicle seat allows space close to an occupant's feet to be used efficiently. The rotating seat has a seat body 2 supported by a rotary disc 13. The rotary disc 13 is mounted at a position that is displaced to a door opening side with respect to a center HP of a seat cushion. A pinion gear 6, an intermediate gear 36 and a rack 38 engage each other so that the rotational movement and the longitudinal movement of the seat body 2 are coupled to each other.
