  • Publication number: 20110277574
    Abstract: A connecting apparatus of a vehicle seat includes a member with internal teeth; a member with external teeth that is assembled to the member with internal teeth so as to rotate relative to the member with internal teeth while changing a meshing position; a pair of wedge members that are arranged in a gap between the members, and that prevent the members from relative rotation by being urged in a circumferential direction of the connecting members, while sliding against the connecting members, so as to become jammed between the connecting members; and an operating shaft that moves the wedge members in a direction against the urging force, and rotates the gear with external teeth with respect to the gear with internal teeth. A resin composition in which polyethylene has been added to a binder resin is coated onto sliding surfaces of the wedge members.
