Abstract
A recliner mechanism generally includes a housing, a back plate, and a locking mechanism. The back plate is rotatably supported in the housing. The locking mechanism selectively locks the back plate relative to the housing. The locking mechanism includes a cam, a pair of wedges, a pair of pawls and a plurality of slides. The wedges are displaced radially outward along a first axis by the cam. The pawls are displaced radially outward along a second axis to lockingly engage the housing in response to the cam displacing the wedges. The second axis is generally perpendicular to the first axis. The slides are disposed between the wedges and the pawls for transferring radial displacement of the wedges to the radial displacement of the pawls.
