Abstract
A latching system for a vehicle seat includes a latching component mountable on a vehicle seat component and a striker mountable on a vehicle structural component. The latching component includes a housing for mounting the latching component, a first bushing attached to the housing, the first bushing having a first guiding groove system, a second bushing having a second guiding groove system, the second bushing positioned over the first bushing, and a latch pin. The striker has a slot for engaging the latch pin. The latch pin includes a guide pin that is positioned within the second bushing such that the guide pin is positioned within the first guiding groove system and the second guiding groove system. Rotation of the outer bushing causes movement of the latch pin between an extended position and a retracted position via motion of the guide pin which engages a slot.
