Abstract
The disclosure relates to a mechanism for controlling reclining movement of a vehicle seat back. A pair of pawls are engageable with an articulated slidable ratchet arm to latch the seat at a desired reclining position. The pawls are manually movable to an unlatched condition relative to the ratchet arm under the control of a pair of pawl control plates that both float the arm and positively orientate the pawls relative thereto.
