Abstract
A power seat recliner mechanism particularly adapted for motor vehicle applications. The recliner mechanism includes an electric drive motor meshing with a series of reduction gears. Rotation of the drive motor causes the reclined position of the seat back cushion. Forward and rearward reclining movement of the seat back is provided through reversing the direction of rotation of the drive motor. For enhanced structural characteristics, the drive motor is affixed to the lower recliner structure at both its axial ends. A rotationally compliant drive shaft for the motor can be used to absorb shock loads acting through the drive system.
