Abstract
A vehicle seat including a recliner and inertia latch, in which the inertia latch is normally in latching position but upon initial limited forward movement of a seat portion it is permitted to move to release position. In the event of deceleration, the latch remains in latching position and prevents forward movement of the seat. The seat frame is of relatively light construction and means are provided which avoid interference with structure interposed on the axis of the pivot connection of the seat back to the seat, insuring simultaneous identical latch actuation at opposite sides of the seat.
