Abstract

See full text

A seat adjustment mechanism may include a recliner mechanism, a recliner handle, a hub and an unlock lever. The recliner mechanism is operable in an unlocked state permitting relative rotation between a seatback and a seat bottom and a locked state preventing relative rotation between the seatback and the seat bottom. The recliner handle is rotatable between locked and unlocked positions to move the recliner mechanism between the locked and unlocked states. The hub may transmit motion of the recliner handle to the recliner mechanism as the recliner handle moves between the unlocked and locked positions. The unlock lever may move the recliner mechanism between the locked and unlocked states. Rotation of the recliner handle may cause corresponding rotation of the hub and the unlock lever. However, the unlock lever may move the recliner mechanism into the unlocked state without causing corresponding rotation of the hub and the recliner handle.
