ABSTRACT:
A vehicle seat having a lower seat portion and a seat back portion positionable in a range of angular orientations with a reclining mechanism. The reclining mechanism includes a housing and a strap having oppositely facing sides which are engaged by rollers that are selectively shiftable between a locked position in which the rollers grip the strap and a recline adjustment position in which the rollers release the strap allowing the strap to move relative to the actuator. The rollers are spring-biased toward the locked position in which the rollers wedge against the housing and the strap. A flexible control cable shifts a linkage and cams that are mounted on the housing to engage the rollers. A reinforcing rib is provided on the strap to maintain strap alignment within the actuator.
