1. A reclining device, comprising:
a first member, which has internal teeth formed on an inner cylindrical surface along a circumferential direction and has a bottomed cylinder shape in which one face is opened; a pawl having external teeth, which are engageable with the internal teeth; a second member, which is disposed at an opened side of the first member and which is formed to be rotatable relative to the first member in the circumferential direction, wherein the second member has a pawl guide that guides the pawl between a lock position where the external teeth engage with the internal teeth and an unlock position where the external teeth disengage from the internal teeth; a cam, which is rotatably provided between the first and second members and moves the pawl in a direction where the external teeth engage with the internal teeth; and a spring, which biases the cam to move the pawl in the direction where the external teeth engage with the internal teeth, so that the external teeth of the pawl engage with the internal teeth of the first member and the relative rotation between the first and second members is suppressed, wherein the pawl guide includes a first pawl guide and a second pawl guide, wherein a wedge-shaped space is formed between the pawl and the first pawl guide, and a width of the wedge-shaped space is gradually reduced in a direction where the pawl is guided, wherein an end of the spring is inserted into the wedge-shaped space, and wherein the end of the spring is directly wedged into the wedge-shaped space, thereby pressing the pawl against the second pawl guide. |
