ABSTRACT:
A recliner assembly is disclosed for providing selective pivotal adjustment of a seat back relative to a seat cushion. The recliner assembly includes a fixed plate fixedly secured to the seat cushion and a mobile plate fixedly secured to the seat back. The mobile plate is fixedly secured to the fixed plate. The mobile plate includes an annular rim having a plurality of teeth. A pawl is slidably supported between the fixed and mobile plates for movement in and out of locking engagement with the plurality of teeth. A cam is fixedly secured to a shaft rotatably journaled through an aperture formed in the mobile plate. The aperture is oversized relative to the shaft to allow the shaft and the cam to float radially relative to the pawl to help prevent binding of the pawl during movement in and out of locking engagement with the plurality of teeth.
