Abstract

A remote handle assembly for selectively unlocking a component in a seat assembly for an automotive vehicle comprises a rear housing having a boss, a spline shaft pivotally coupled to the boss around an axis of rotation, and a pulley pivotally coupled to the boss around the axis of rotation. The spline shaft includes a cam surface and a pulley channel extending circumferentially around the axis of rotation. The spline shaft is pivotable between an unactuated position and an actuated position. The pulley includes an engagement surface and an upper pulley channel extending circumferentially around the axis of rotation. The pulley is pivotable between a second unactuated position and a second actuated position. The pulley is spaced between the spline shaft and the rear housing. The upper pulley channel in the pulley axially aligns with the pulley channel in the spline shaft. The cam surface of the spline shaft is configured to frictionally engage with the engagement surface on the pulley as the spline shaft rotates towards the actuated position.
