Abstract

A locking pivot mechanism which may be used as a seat recliner to reduce chucking of a seat back has a toothed quadrant, a toothed pawl, and an engagement member. The engagement member is biased against the pawl which, in turn, is forced into engagement with the quadrant to lock the quadrant against rotation, thus reducing chucking.
