ABSTRACT:
A seat reclining mechanism for adjusting the angular position of a seatback relative to a seat cushion by a planetary gear arrangement includes a rotatable shaft, a base plate, a pivotable arm, a control gear, a plurality of planetary gears, and a supporting member. The pivotable arm is rotatably connected to the base plate through the rotatable shaft. Each planetary gear has two opposed cylindrical projections which are outwardly biased by the supporting member against cylindrical smooth surfaces of cylindrical recesses formed on the base plate and the pivotable arm. Therefore, the planetary gears are held in a predetermined revolution orbit around the control gear.
