Abstract
A disc reclinerfor a seat assembly includes a fixed platesecured to a seat cushionand a rotatable platesecured to a seat back. Each of the fixed and rotatable plateshas a plurality of teeth, the number of teeth not being equal. A flex splinehas a plurality of teeth, the number of teeth being equal to the number of teeth on the fixed plate. A wave generatorcauses a portion of the teethon the flex splineto meshingly engage with the teethon the fixed and rotatable plates. Rotation of the wave generatorcauses the teethon the flex splinewhich meshingly engage with the teethon the fixed and rotatable platesto change, thereby causing the rotatable plateto rotate relative to the fixed plate, which in turn causes the seat backto pivot relative to the seat cushion
