Abstract
An arrangement of operation unit in one upper corner portion of seat back of automotive seat is disclosed, in which an operating lever of the operation unit is accommodated in a housing fixed to a connecting bracket disposed in such one upper corner portion, and a shape retaining bracket is fixed to the connecting bracket to retain the peripheral edge region of opening of a trim cover assembly through which an operating lever of the operation unit projects outwardly. The peripheral edge region is inserted between the shape regaining bracket and a bezel, and further, the connecting bracket, housing and trim cover assembly are connected with one another at a connecting point, thereby effectively retaining the peripheral edge region of opening of the trim cover assembly in a predetermined shape conforming to outer contour of the one upper corner portion of seat back.
