发明名称 Easy entry recliner
摘要 A recliner apparatus for a vehicle seat has a pair of discontinuous recliner mechanisms attached to opposite sides of the seat for comfort adjustment in which the angle of the seat back is moved to a desired angular orientation. A master easy entry recliner mechanism is attached to an inner side of one of the side support members of the vehicle seat frame. A locking pawl is operatively connected to the side support member to selectively engage a stop in a locked position. The locking pawl is moved by a control cable between locked and unlocked positions. A slave easy entry connector is connected to the master easy entry recliner mechanism by a slave control cable. The slave easy entry connector releases one of the discontinuous recliner mechanisms when the master easy entry recliner is shifted to the easy entry position.

主权项 1. A vehicle seat comprising: a seat base; a seat back pivotally secured to the seat base, the seat back having a frame that includes a right side support member and a left side support member; a right side discontinuous recliner mechanism attached to a right side outer surface of the right side support member and a left side discontinuous recliner mechanism attached to a left side outer surface of the left side support member, wherein the right and left side recliner mechanisms are secured to a shaft that is manually pivoted to selectively release the recliner mechanisms for comfort adjustment in which the angle of the seat back is moved to a desired angular orientation and the shaft is released to lock the seat back in the desired angular orientation; a master easy entry recliner mechanism attached to an inner side of one of the side support members and is attached through the side support member to which it is attached and that is also attached to one of the first discontinuous recliner mechanisms, the master easy entry recliner mechanism includes a locking pawl operatively connected to the side support member that selectively engages a stop in a locked position; a locking cam that normally engages a first surface of the locking pawl, and a spring that biases the locking cam to engage the locking pawl to hold the locking pawl in engagement with the stop, wherein a principal control cable is actuated to move the locking cam into engagement with a second surface of the locking pawl to disengage the locking pawl from the stop, wherein the locking pawl is moved between the locked position in which the pawl locks the seat back to hold the seat back in the desired angular orientation and an unlocked position in which the pawl disengages the stop to unlock the seat back to rotate to an easy entry position overlying the seat base; and a slave easy entry connector is operatively connected to the master easy entry recliner mechanism by a slave control cable, the slave easy entry connector is released when the pawl is in the unlocked position, wherein the slave easy entry connector releases the discontinuous recliner mechanism that the master easy entry recliner is unattached to when the master easy entry recliner mechanism is shifted to the easy entry position.
