Abstract
Technologies are described for assemblies to recline a seat. The assemblies may comprise a shaft, a threaded end at a first end of the shaft, a Stroke limiter, a seat back mounting, a mounting fastener, an energy absorber, and at least one locknut. A first end of the Stroke limiter may be attached to a second end of the shaft. The seat back mounting may be attached to a second end of the Stroke limiter and the mounting fastener. The energy absorber may be a kinetic energy absorbing element and the shaft may pass through the energy absorber. The locknut may be configured to secure the shaft of the seat recline assembly to the seat frame mounting with the end of the shaft attached to the Stroke limiter on a first side of the seat frame mounting and the energy absorber on a second side of the seat frame mounting.
