ABSTRACT:
A reclining device of two-point hinged type including a reclining plate element having one end connected via first lock mechanism with lower hinge point about which the reclining plate element is inclined and another end connected via second lock mechanism with upper hinge point about which a seat back is foldable forwardly. A forward inclination limit point is defined to limit forward rotation of the reclining plate element. Bifurcated flexible wire cable is arranged between unlocking plate and the first and second lock mechanisms, such that operation of the unlocking plate causes synchronized unlocking operation of both first and second lock mechanisms, whereupon the reclining plate element is automatically rotated to the forward inclination limit point, thereby allowing the seat back to be foldable relative to the upper hinge point in the thus-inclined reclining plate element down to a non-use position, with the backward side thereof extending along a substantially horizontal line.
