ABSTRACT:
A reclining seat for a variety of different uses, but in particular for vehicles such as vans, motor homes, car seats and buses, in which a reclining back is pivoted to the rear portion of the seat section and a latch mechanism for retaining the back in a selected position consists of a striker plate attached to the back and a releasable lever mounted on the seat section for engagement with shoulders on the striker plate to hold the seat in selected positions. The back is urged forwardly by a spring, preferably a coil spring on each side between the seat section and the back, into engagement with a removable abutment on the seat section. The abutment can be removed and the back tilted forwardly sufficiently to relieve tension on the coil spring to facilitate replacement thereof. The latch mechanism is so constructed and arranged that the seat cannot easily be released while the weight of the occupant is resting on the back, thus avoiding unintentional or accidental releasing of the back by someone other than the occupant.
