A reclining device includes: a reclining mechanism, which is capable of tilting of a seat back relative to a seat cushion to be locked or unlocked; a hinge pin, which is engaged with the reclining mechanism and configured to cause the reclining mechanism to be in an unlocked state; a first biasing member, one end of which is hooked to a hooking part provided at a seat-cushion-side member; and a second biasing member, one end of which is engaged to a periphery of an engagement part formed at the hinge pin and the other end of which is hooked to the seat-cushion-side member, wherein a vertical cross-section of the engagement part of the hinge pin has a non-circular shape.

Reclining device

A walk-in seat includes: a lower arm; an upper arm; a reclining mechanism; a shaft, which is rotatably provided to the lower arm; an operating lever, which is rotated with interlocking with the walk-in lever that is rotated by the walk-in operation; a rotation facilitating lever, which causes the shaft and the operating lever to further rotate with interlocking with a forward tilting operation of the upper arm; a stopper lever, which is held in the shaft with a play in a rotation direction and has a stopper portion; an insertion hole, through which the stopper portion being inserted; and a restriction portion, which is provided to the upper arm and abutted against the stopper portion to restrict a forward tilting operation of the upper arm to a predetermined amount.
