Abstract

See full text

A recliner assembly for a vehicle seat, and the associated seat, is provided with seat back, a seat base, and a hinge that connects the seat back to the seat base, wherein the hinge includes a recliner assembly having a pair of recliner mechanisms that are disposed on opposite sides of the seat, and which may be shifted between the locked position and an unlocked position by manually pivoting a connector rod that operatively joins each of the recliner mechanisms. The connector rod is operably, but not directly, connected to at least one of the recliner mechanisms through engagement with a hub at a location on the inboard side of the recliner mechanism, which hub is, in turn, engaged with the recliner mechanism. The connector rod may also be indirectly connected to the other of the recliner mechanisms in a like manner.
