ABSTRACT:
An inertia-responsive vehicle seat back latch mechanism for a vehicle seat assembly having a seat back pivotally supported for forwardly tilting movement, wherein said latch mechanism includes a seat back stop for cooperating with an inertia-responsive member to prevent forward tilting of said seat back when said inertia-responsive member is in its seat back locking position. The inertia-responsive member is adapted for moving into the seat back locking position during a vehicle deceleration. The latch mechanism further includes a device for maintaining said inertia-responsive member in its seat back locking position subsequent to said vehicle deceleration. The seat back latch mechanism may also include a device for releasing said seat back from its locking position subsequent to said vehicle deceleration.
