Abstract
A reclining mechanism of a reclining seat including a seat back and a seat cushion includes a reclining lock mechanism which locks the seat back at an adjusted angular position and allows the seat back to be rotated forward/rearward relative to the seat cushion when manually operated; a reclining angle memory mechanism which remembers an angular position of a previous adjustment of the seat back and allows the seat back to be rotated forward relative to the seat cushion when manually operated independently of the reclining lock mechanism, wherein the reclining angle memory mechanism locks the seat back to the remembered angular position when the seat back is rotated rearward from the forward position; and a manual operation limiting device which prevents the reclining lock mechanism or the reclining angle memory mechanism from being operated when the other thereof is operated.
