ABSTRACT:
An automotive seat with a walk-in device, which permits the forward movement of the seat by inclining the seat back forwardly for a walk-in purpose. The walk-in device in the present invention comprises a rotatable lever plate, an actuator pin fixed on the lever plate, and a crank portion formed in a lock lever associated with a locking mechanism. The actuator pin is in a contact with the crank portion, and as such, when the seat back is forwardly inclined, the rotatable lever plate is caused to rotate, whereby the crank portion is rotated via the actuator pin so as to actuate the locking mechanism to release the locked state of the seat, allowing the seat to be forwardly moved for the walk-in purpose.
