Abstract: A recliner mechanism having the first plate, a second plate, at least one pawl, and a memory plate. The memory plate may be disposed between the first plate and the second plate and may be movable in an axial direction. The pawl may be held in a retracted position when the memory plate is actuated into engagement with the second plate.

Abstract: A recliner mechanism for a seat. The recliner mechanism may include a first plate, a second plate, a set of pawls, and a driver. The driver may actuate the set of pawls when the driver rotates about the axis. A dump ramp protrusion may be provided to inhibit movement of the pawls from a refracted position to a locked position.

Abstract: A recliner mechanism having a gear plate that may be disposed between a first plate and a second plate. A first set of pawls may be configured to engage the first set of teeth on the gear plate to inhibit rotation of the gear plate with respect to the first plate. A second set of pawls may be configured to engage the second set of teeth on the gear plate to inhibit rotation of the second plate with respect to the gear plate.

Abstract: A discontinuous recliner for a vehicle seat back that may be locked in a desired angular orientation. A memory function is provided by a memory pawl that is actuated by a memory handle. The memory pawl carries a memory pad in the memory disengaged position. The memory pawl carries the memory pad in a deactivated position and lodges the memory pad in internal gear teeth of a gear plate when the memory feature is activated. The memory pad rotates with the gear plate as the seat back is folded forward. When the seat back is returned to the memory position, the memory pad engages a stop on the memory pawl that is pivoted to move the memory pad out of engagement with the internal gear teeth of the gear plate.

Abstract: A seat is disclosed herein. The seat includes a seat cushion frame assembly. The seat also includes a seat cushion mounted on the seat cushion frame assembly for pivoting movement about a cushion pivoting axis. The seat also includes a cushion lock operably disposed to selectively lock the seat cushion frame assembly and the seat cushion relative to one another and thereby prevent the pivoting movement. The cushion lock defines a plurality of locked positions such that the seat cushion is positionable in a plurality of different orientations relative to the seat cushion frame assembly.
