ABSTRACT:
A recliner seat for a vehicle is provided including a bun frame; a seat back frame pivotally mounted with respect to the bun frame; a rotatable drive screw with a first end held by a first fixture and a second end held by a second fixture, the first and second fixtures being normally positionally fixed with respect to the bun frame, the first and second ends of the drive screw being held along a first linear axis intersecting the first and second fixtures; a third fixture generally fixed with respect to the bun frame; a nut threadably encircling the drive screw and moved by the drive screw along the first linear axis; and a link pivotally connected with respect to the seat back frame and the nut. Thus, upon loading on the seat back frame exceeding a predetermined amount, the nut moves to a position nonaligned with the first linear axis to contact the third fixture to retard angular movement of the seat back.
