Abstract
A reclining seat includes a first locking mechanism for locking a first backrest frame at a sloping position, and a second locking mechanism for locking a second backrest frame at the sloping position. The reclining seat further includes a first shaft for releasing the first backrest frame locked by the first locking mechanism, a second shaft for releasing the second backrest frame locked by the second locking mechanism, and a disengaging unit for transmitting only one-directional rotation of the first shaft to the second shaft. The disengaging unit includes a first plate mounted on the first shaft, and a second plate mounted on the second shaft. The second plate is engaged by the first plate when the first shaft rotates in one direction and is disengaged from the first plate when the first shaft rotates in the opposite direction.
