ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat assembly (10) includes a backrest member (14) pivotably coupled to a seat member (12) for enabling the seat to pivot between a generally upright design position (D) and a reclined position (R). An inertia responsive latch mechanism (18) is operative in response to the assembly (10) being subjected to sudden acceleration forces, as when the vehicle is involved in a rearend collision, for locking the back rest member (14) against rearward pivotal movement toward the reclined position (R).
