ABSTRACT:
A lock mechanism for releasably locking a back rest of a vehicle seat assembly in either its normal upright position, a forward folded position or a rearward reclined position. The lock mechanism is located wholly within the seat area, is of a narrow width construction and functions to releasably detent the seat back in either of its normal upright position or forward folded position. It is also operable to allow rearward movement to a reclined position while detented in its normal upright position and to automatically return the seat back from a reclined position to its normal upright position. An inertia lock pendulum is provided to prevent movement of the seat back from any of its positions when the seat assembly is subjected to rapid deceleration forces.
