The fine adjustment device includes an eccentric cam which may be mounted about a pivot pin for connecting a stationary plate secured to the seat bottom with a movable plate secured to the seat back.

A fine adjustment lever functions when actuated to at first unlock the eccentric cam and then to make it rotate to perform a fine adjustment.
