Abstract
An improved inertia latch system for a vehicle seat having a pivotally adjustable backrest and a separate more forwardly pivoted hinge member to accommodate forward tilting of the backrest for rear passenger entry and exit provides a limit for the seat angle at which release of the inertia latch can be effected in order to enhance safety, a manual override for releasing the inertia latch and a reduction in weight and cost of the inertia latch mechanism.
