ABSTRACT:
A linear recliner is described for controllably adjusting the angular position of a seatback relative to a seat member in response to actuation by a seat occupant. The linear seat recliner includes a rod adapted to be operatively connected to one of the seatback and the seat member and a housing pivotably connected to the other of the seatback and the seat member. The housing is configured to receive a portion of the rod for linear movement relative thereto whereby linear movement of the recliner rod corresponds to angular movement of the seatback relative to the seat member. The linear seat recliner further includes a cam plate coupled for rotation with an actuator shaft and which is adapted to engage a toothed pawl so as to move the pawl to and from engagement with the toothed portion of the recliner rod, thereby establishing locked and released modes for the linear seat recliner. In one embodiment, substantially similar slave and master latch mechanisms are provided with the master latch mechanism connected to a release mechanism operable to shift both latch mechanisms from their latched conditions.
