ABSTRACT:
A recliner mechanism for an automotive seat. The recliner mechanism includes a turnbuckle-style adjustment mechanism and a linearly stationary housing. The adjustment mechanism includes a drive screw extending through the housing. In one embodiment, the drive screw includes a conventional spur gear that is engaged with an axially elongated spur gear rotatably supported within the housing. The axes of the two gears are parallel so that the drive screw spur gear can travel axially along the elongated spur gear. The elongated spur gear is operatively connected to a conventional drive assembly. In a second embodiment, the drive screw includes an axially elongated helical gear that is engaged with a conventional worm gear rotatably supported within the housing. The elongated helical gear remains engaged with the worm gear even when the drive screw travels axially within the housing. The worm gear is operatively connected to a conventional drive assembly.
