Abstract
A hinge fitting for a reclining vehicle seat structure comprises a fixed support bracket, a seatback member, a locking member, and a lock actuating mechanism. The lock actuating mechanism includes a cam that interacts with the locking member to urge the locking member into locking and unlocking positions. Proper positioning of the cam and locking member directs a force applied to the seatback that maintains a locking position. Alignment means is provided ensuring a proper positional relationship between the cam and locking member to correctly direct the applied force. The cam is operated through a linkage assembly which contains a biasing spring that is entirely shielded from user contact. Construction of the hinge fitting is facilitated by manufacturing a universal hinge fitting capable of assembly in multiple configurations.
