ABSTRACT:
A backrest recliner mechanism for a vehicle seat or the like includes a connector and a locking mechanism which both pivot about the same line. The backrest recliner mechanism also utilizes the energy of the backrest biasing spring to aid in the return of the locking mechanism from a disengaged to engaged position. The mechanism is actuated by a handle which minimizes the forces required to unlatch the locking mechanism. The backrest recliner mechanism is designed so as to incorporate a minimum number of parts and also to be easily and quickly assembled with minimal modification of the seat shell.
