Abstract
There is disclosed a device for reclining a seat such that a pawl can be held with certainty at a distance from a ratchet. A pin and a cam slot are provided between the ratchet and the pawl to limit sliding movement of the pawl toward the ratchet, thus maintaining the pawl in disengagement from the ratchet.
