ABSTRACT:
A recliner device has a pair of recliner mounting brackets, an arm and a pawl, both pivotally mounted on one of the brackets, and a sliding wedge holding the pawl in latching engagement with the arm. The wedge is slidably attached to one of the brackets and supported on a base of one of the brackets. When the recliner is in a locked position, a wedge end of the wedge is engagement between a wedge contact surface of the pawl and the base segment of the bracket to maintain a toothed section of the pawl in engagement with a toothed section of the arm. When the recliner moves into an unlocked position, the wedge end is separated from the wedge contact surface to release the pawl from engagement with the arm. A pivotally mounted cam engages a distal end of the wedge and allows manual control of the wedge position. The brackets preferably have embossed sections which restrict non-planar travel of the pawl, wedge and cam.
