ABSTRACT:
A reclining device for vehicle seat, which is of such a structure wherein a main shaft is provided between a movable arm plate fixed to a seat back of the seat and a base plate fixed to a seat cushion fixed to a seat cushion of the seat, wherein a first lock gear element is defined in one of the arm and base plates, while a second lock gear element is slidably mounted on the main shaft for meshed engagement with or disengagement from the first lock gear element, and wherein an interlocking element is disposed along the main shaft between the arm and base plates, so as to permit such engagement and disengagement between the first and second lock gear elements to be effected by rotational operation of a lever. This makes the reclining device small in size and weight. The two gear elements may be formed generally annular for full meshed engagement therebetween, thereby making them rigid against deformation.
