ABSTRACT:
A vehicular seating assembly (14) includes a seat cushion (20) and a seat back (22). The seat back (22) is locked in the seat forming position when the pawl (46) is locked into the seat back notch (54) by the bell crank (34). When the seat cushion (20) is moved out of the seat forming position, the spring (52) forces the bell crank (34) to rotate (counter clockwise in the Figures) unlocking the pawl (46) from the seat back notch (54). The torsion bar (32) receives the seat cushion (20) when the seat cushion (20) is returned to the seat forming position rotating the bell crank (34) back into locking engagement with the pawl (46) via a linkage (36).
