A vehicle seat device includes a seat cushion frame and a seatback frame including a lower-side frame supported at a lower end portion thereof to be tiltable relative to a rear end portion of the seat cushion frame, an upper-side frame arranged at an upper portion of the lower-side frame, and a center bending mechanism coupling the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame to be bendable forward, wherein the center bending mechanism bends the upper-side frame about a rotational center that is ahead of a seatback outer layer covering a front surface of the seatback frame. The movement of the upper-side frame when tilted comes close to the movement of the passenger who bends forward. The slip between the seatback outer layer and the back of the passenger can be minimized, and thus, it becomes possible to lessen an uncomfortable feeling of a passenger.

The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat device comprising: a seat cushion frame; and a seatback frame including a lower-side frame supported at a lower end portion thereof to be tiltable relative to a rear end portion of the seat cushion frame, an upper-side frame arranged at an upper portion o
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle seat device comprising: a seat cushion frame; and a seatback frame including a lower-side frame supported at a lower end portion thereof to be tiltable relative to a rear end portion of the seat cushion frame, an upper-side frame arranged at an upper portion of the lower-side frame, a center bending mechanism coupling the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame to be bendable forward, and drive means for driving the center bending mechanism; wherein the center bending mechanism is configured to tilt the upper-side frame about a rotational center that is ahead of, and spaced apart from, a seatback outer layer covering a front surface of the seatback frame, the rotational center of the upper-side frame being determined by the center bending mechanism. 2. The vehicle seat device according to claim 1, wherein the center bending mechanism is configured to tilt the upper-side frame while moving the same in a direction extending from an upper end of the lower-side frame. 3. The vehicle seat device according to claim 1, wherein the center bending mechanism is a non-parallel four-link mechanism including the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame as opposite links. 4. The vehicle seat device according to claim 3, wherein: the non-parallel four-link mechanism of the center bending mechanism is arranged at each of both end portions in a width direction of the seatback frame; and the drive means includes link swing drive means for swinging one link of the links of the four-link mechanism, other than the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame, in the non-parallel four-link mechanism arranged on one end side in the width direction of the seatback frame, relative to one frame of the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame on the one end side, and further comprising a rotation transmission shaft connecting either one of pivot points on the link swung by the link swing drive means with a corresponding pivot point on a link, corresponding to the link swung by the link swing drive means, in the other of the non-parallel four-link mechanisms for synchronously rotating the both links. 5. The vehicle seat device according to claim 1, wherein the center bending mechanism includes a combination of a bracket section arranged on one of the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame and forming a guide portion taking the shape of an arc with a center at the rotational center, and two or more slide sections arranged on the other of the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame and engaged with the guide portion of the bracket section to be movable in the circumferential direction of the arc but to be restricted from moving in the radial direction. 6. The vehicle seat device according to claim 5, wherein: the combination of the bracket section and the slide sections in the center bending mechanism is arranged at each of the both end portions in the width direction of the seatback frame; and the drive means includes a rotation transmission shaft rotatably to extend between the both end portions of one of the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame, slide mechanisms for changing the relative positions between the bracket sections and the slide sections by the use of a rotational motion of the rotation transmission shaft, and rotation drive means for rotating the rotation transmission shaft. 7. The vehicle seat device according to claim 1, wherein the center bending mechanism is configured to tilt the upper-side frame about a rotational center that is ahead of a seatback outer layer covering a front surface of the seatback frame at all tilt positions of the upper-side frame. 8. A vehicle seat device comprising: a seat cushion frame; and a seatback frame including a lower-side frame supported at a lower end portion thereof to be tiltable relative to a rear end portion of the seat cushion frame, an upper-side frame arranged at an upper portion of the lower-side frame, a center bending mechanism coupling the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame to be bendable forward, and drive means for driving the center bending mechanism; wherein the center bending mechanism is configured to tilt the upper-side frame about a rotational center that is ahead of a seatback outer layer covering a front surface of the seatback frame, wherein the center bending mechanism is a non-parallel four-link mechanism including the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame as opposite links. 9. The vehicle seat device according to claim 8, wherein the center bending mechanism is configured to tilt the upper-side frame while moving the same in a direction extending from an upper end of the lower-side frame. 10. The vehicle seat device according to claim 8, wherein: the non-parallel four-link mechanism of the center bending mechanism is arranged at each of both end portions in a width direction of the seatback frame; and the drive means includes link swing drive means for swinging one link of the links of the four-link mechanism, other than the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame in the non-parallel four-link mechanism arranged on one end side in the width direction of the seatback frame, relative to one frame of the lower-side frame and the upper-side frame on the one end side, and further comprising a rotation transmission shaft connecting either one of pivot points on the link swung by the link swing drive means with a corresponding pivot point on a link, corresponding to the link swung by the link swing drive means, in the other of the non-parallel four-link mechanisms for synchronously rotating the both links. 11. The vehicle seat device according to claim 8, wherein the center bending mechanism is configured to tilt the upper-side frame about a rotational center that is ahead of a seatback outer layer covering a front surface of the seatback frame at all tilt positions of the upper-side frame.
