Abstract: A-way locking rotary drive clutch assembly for actuating an adjuster mechanism on an automotive vehicle seat including a cylinder (30) fixedly secured to the vehicle seat and a mobile flange (40) rotatable journaled to the cylinder and fixedly secured to an input shaft (18) for externally actuating the adjuster mechanism. The cylinder includes a cylindrical bearing surface. The clutch assembly includes a plurality of cams (50, 52) enactable with the bearing surface to prevent rotation of the mobile flange relative to the cylinder. The cams are rotatable assembled to the mobile flange for moving in and out of engagement with the bearing surface. The cams are biased into engagement with the bearing surface. A handle body (60) journaled to the cylinder includes a plurality of teeth engagable with teeth on the mobile flange. Tabs (62) extend from the handle body to move the cams out of engagement with the bearing surface during rotation of the handle body relative to the mobile flange.
