Abstract
Seat reclining devices for a vehicle seat may include a first seat reclining mechanism () having a first rotational shaft () and a second seat reclining mechanism () having a second rotational shaft (). A connector sleeve () may interconnect or couple the first and second rotational shafts such that the rotational shafts can be substantially synchronously rotated. A nesting coupling () having a clearance (S) is preferably defined between the connector sleeve and one of the first or second rotational shafts (i.e., the inner rotational shaft). An elastic member (A) may be disposed within the clearance in order to prevent the inner rotational shaft from directly contacting the connector sleeve.
