ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle seat recliner (10) includes upper and lower attachment members (12 and 14) joined at a hinge point (16). An adjuster (58) operates to establish a substantially fixed angular position between the members. An inertia latch (60) operative to disengage the adjuster from the upper attachment member as a function of recliner attitude and acceleration includes elements (52 and 62) defining cooperating engagement surfaces (98 and 99) which are relatively displaceable upon incipient movement of one of the members in a predetermined direction from a pre-latched position to a release position when the movement is relatively slow and to an engaged position when the movement is relatively fast.
