US Patent:

20150069809, Mar 12, 2015
Filed:

Apr 11, 2013
Appl. No.:

14/391743
Inventors:

- Aurora, CA
Samuel James Matt - Hazel Park MI, US
International Classification:

B60N 2/235
US Classification:

297366
Abstract:

A disc recliner includes a gear plate disposed between fixed and movable plates. The gear and fixed plates are operatively coupled by a pawl that is selectively engaged with the gear plate. An eccentric element is operatively coupled between the gear and movable plates such that inward-facing teeth on the movable plate are meshingly engaged with outward-facing teeth on the gear plate. When the pawl is disengaged from the gear plate, the movable plate rotates with the gear plate relative to the fixed plate to pivot a seat back to a folded position. When the pawl is engaged with the gear plate, rotation of the eccentric element shifts the engagement point between the inward and outward-facing teeth and causes wobbling rotational movement of the movable plate relative to the gear and fixed plates to pivot the seat back between a plurality of reclined seating positions.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Samuel J Matt - Hazel Park MI, US
International Classification:

B60N 2/235
B60N 2/20
US Classification:

297362
Abstract:

A disc recliner for a seat assembly includes a gear plate disposed between fixed and movable plates. The gear and fixed plates are operatively coupled by a pawl that is selectively engaged with the fixed plate. An eccentric element is coupled between bearing surfaces on the gear and movable plates causing a plurality of inwardly-facing teeth on the movable plate to meshingly engage with a plurality of outwardly-facing teeth on the gear plate at an engagement point. When the pawl is disengaged from the fixed plate, the gear and movable plates rotate together relative to the fixed plate to freely pivot a seat back to a folded position. When the pawl is engaged with the fixed plate, rotation of the eccentric element shifts the engagement point and causes wobbling rotational movement of the movable plate relative to the gear plate to pivot the seat back between reclined seating positions.
