Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide a reclining device which improves engagement between a lock gear and a gear plate for reliable locking without requiring high dimensional accuracy. Four lock gears comprising a pair of first lock gears, and a pair of second lock gearsin which a gap between the second lock gearand guide protrusionsis larger than a gap between the first lock gearand guide protrusionsare adopted. Due to elastic function of a biasing member bodyof an biasing member, both the second lock gearsare biased radially and inwardly and toward the guide protrusionof the base plate
