A recliner mechanism for an automotive vehicle seat for allowing pivotal adjustment of a seat back ( 12 ) relative to a seat cushion ( 14 ) between a plurality of reclined seating positions and a forwardly stowed position. The recliner mechanism includes a seat back ( 12 ) bracket pivotally coupled to a seat cushion bracket. The seat back ( 12 ) bracket and seat cushion ( 14 ) bracket are each fixedly secured to the seat back ( 12 ) and seat cushion ( 14 ), respectively. A sector of teeth is formed in the seat back bracket. A pawl ( 40 ) having a rack of teeth lockably engageable with the sector of teeth is slidably engaged with the seat cushion bracket ( 30 ) for movement between a locked position with the rack of teeth engaged with the sector of teeth and an unlocked position with the rack of teeth disengaged with the sector of teeth. A guide pin ( 26 ) extends from the seat hack bracket ( 20 ) to maintain the pawl ( 40 ) in the unlocked position while the seat back is moved between the plurality of reclined seating positions and the forwardly stowed position. |
