A support bracket is connected to the seat back, with the intermediate region of the torsion spring supported for rotation by the support bracket. A block supported by the support bracket and offset from the transverse axis, with the block contacting the second end region of the torsion spring to bias the spring when the seat back is in a first, use position.
