Abstract
A recliner mechanism for a seat assembly is disclosed in which the seat back is pivotally mounted to the seat cushion by an eccentric pivot pin which enables the location of the seat back pivot point to be adjusted during assembly. The seat back forms a sector gear meshing with a pinion gear on a seat cushion as part of the recliner mechanism. By adjusting the position of the seat back pivot point, backlash between the sector gear and pinion gear can be eliminated.
