ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling the recline and dumping of a seat has a master unit and a slave unit. The master unit has two base plates that attaches to a seat and pivots with respect to ground. A master lock, which attaches to the base plate, allows the base plates to pivot only when the lock is unlocked. A master seat plate, which connects to the seat and pivots on the master base plate. A latch normally secures the base and seat plates together so that pivoting the master plate pivots the seat plate except when the latches is not latched. The slave unit has a mechanical lock connected with the seat back directly, which allows the seat back and the master base plates to pivot only when both the master lock and the slave lock are unlocked. An input/output device unlocks the slave lock when the latch is unlocked. That allows the seat to dump. The input/output device also unlocks the slave lock when the latch on the master lock is unlocked. That allows the seat back to dump.
