ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a folding recliner of a seat for vehicles which is able to execute both seat folding and reclining motions using only a single lever. The folding recliner of the present invention includes a lever unit, which has a lever pin and a lever, so that, when the lever is rotated in a predetermined direction, the lever unit is rotated around a reclining shaft so that the seat back enters an unlocked state. The folding recliner further includes a first link, which has a contact part on a lower end thereof, and a second link, which is rotated around a rotating shaft, coupled to the second link, by movement of the first link. The folding recliner further includes a spring, which is coupled between the second link and a frame unit, and a cam, which is rotated around the rotating shaft and has a locking protrusion. The folding recliner further includes a latch which is rotated around a folding shaft and has a curved edge part, so that the curved edge part contacts an upper end of the cam so that the seat back maintains an unfolded locked state thereof, and a locking notch formed at a predetermined position in the outer edge of the latch so that the locking protrusion of the cam is locked to the locking notch so that the seat back maintains a folded locked state thereof.
