<p>A reclining device including leg portions (15c, 15d) formed in opposed end portions of each of slide pawls(15). Basically, a rotating cam (16) bears the slide pawl (15) at a middle bearing portion (15f) formed in a middle portion between the leg portions (15c, 15d). Furthermore, the rotating cam (16) bears the slide pawl (15) also at the leg portions (15c, 15d). Such a three-point supporting structure prevents the middle portion (15f) of a slide pawl (15) body from deflecting radially inwardly even in the event of application of a turning force from an annular ratchet (12). Thus, the slide pawls (15) are stably maintained in mesh with the ratchet (12). <IMAGE></p> |
