Problems solved by technology

[0006] One disadvantage of continuous disc recliners is that they do not provide a fold-flat position that allows the seat back to be quickly adjusted or "dumped" through a large seat back angle into an easy-entry position or overlying the seat cushion. Location
Although a continuous disc recliner provides very fine fine adjustment of the seat back, the long actuation time to move the seat back through large seat back angles is undesirable

Embodiment Construction

[0020] Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals indicate like or corresponding parts throughout the several drawings, a seat assembly (not shown) for use in a motor vehicle includes a A generally horizontal seat cushion (not shown) and a generally vertical seat back (not shown). The seat back is operatively coupled to the seat cushion by a recliner assembly (partially shown) for providing pivotal movement between: an upright seating position, various reclined seating positions , and an easy-entry position or a fold-flat position overlying the seat cushion. The recliner assembly generally consists of a pair of spaced and synchronized continuous disc recliners, one of which is in the figure 1 and figure 2 10, which will be described in detail below.

[0021] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 , the disc recliner 10 includes a fixed plate 12 and a movable plate 14, wherein the fixed plate 12 is adapted to be fastened to a seat cushion, and the movable plate 14 ...

Abstract

A disc recliner includes a gear plate disposed between fixed and movable plates. The gear and fixed plates are operatively coupled by a pawl that is selectively engaged with the gear plate. An eccentric element is operatively coupled between the gear and movable plates such that inward-facing teeth on the movable plate are meshingly engaged with outward-facing teeth on the gear plate. When the pawl is disengaged from the gear plate, the movable plate rotates with the gear plate relative to the fixed plate to pivot a seat back to a folded position. When the pawl is engaged with the gear plate, rotation of the eccentric element shifts the engagement point between the inward and outward-facing teeth and causes wobbling rotational movement of the movable plate relative to the gear and fixed plates to pivot the seat back between a plurality of reclined seating positions.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority and full benefit of US Provisional Application Nos. 61 / 623,197, entitled "Quick Adjust Continuously Engaged Recliner," filed April 12, 2012. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a disc recliner for a vehicle seat assembly that allows pivotal adjustment of the seat back relative to the seat cushion. More particularly, the present invention relates to a continuous disc recliner having a release feature to quickly adjust the seat back to an easy-entry position or a fold-flat position. Background technique [0004] Motor vehicles typically include one or more seat assemblies having seat cushions and seat backs to support occupants above the vehicle floor. For passenger comfort, the seat assembly is typically mounted to the vehicle floor by a seat track assembly to allow forward and rearward sliding adjustment of the seat assembly. The seat back is typically operatively coupled to the seat...
