ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle seat assembly having a backrest member pivotally movable with respect to a seat member, there is disclosed a device for controlled adjustment of the inclination of the backrest member with respect to the seat member, which device includes a redundant locking mechanism which is activated upon failure of the primary locking mechanism so as to prevent uncontrolled rearward pivoting of the backrest member over the seat member. Moreover, the activation of the secondary locking structure is signalled to the seat occupant by a change in the operation of the device, which change in operation prevents the seat occupant from attempting to re-adjust the inclination of the backrest member without servicing of the device by qualified personnel.
