An energy storage mechanism (1) for folding seats (10) for vehicles and the like includes an energy-storing component such as a sppng that assists in moving the seat or other component. The mechanism provides for relatively small user input forces and distances, yet provides a relatively large force acting over a relatively large distance as an output of the mechanism. The mechanism may be configured to provide for a single user input/release, without requiring powered actuators or the like. |
