Abstract
A latch assembly for a seating assembly includes a dual cam latch positioned on a sector arm. The sector arm includes first and second pins. The first pin operably couples a structural cam to the sector arm. The structural cam is operable between blocked and removed positions. An adjustment cam is operably coupled to the structural cam and the sector arm by the first pin. A locking hook is operably coupled to the sector arm by the second pin and is rotatable between a locked and unlocked positions. A return spring operably couples the locking hook with the structural cam. The locking hook is rotated to the unlocked position when the structural cam is drawn to the removed position. When the locking hook is rotated to the unlocked position, the sector arm is movable into a pitched position to provide entry space rearward of the seating assembly.
