ABSTRACT:
A seat recliner for adjusting the angular position of a seatback relative to a seat bottom. The seat recliner includes a first member secured to the seat bottom, a second member secured to the seatback and supported for pivotal movement relative to the first member, and a latching mechanism operable in a latched mode for inhibiting pivotal movement of the second member relative to the first member and in an unlatched mode for permitting pivotal movement of the second member. The latching mechanism includes a first gear non-rotatably fixed to the second member, a second gear rotatably supported from the first member and in constant meshed engagement with the first gear, and a third gear in constant meshed engagement with the first gear. A recline actuator mechanism shifts the latching mechanism from the latched mode into the unlatched mode by moving the third gear from a first position whereat it is also meshed with the second gear to a second position whereat it is released from meshed engagement with the second gear.
