Abstract
A dual reclining device comprising a pair of reclining elements provided on both lateral sides of an automotive seat, with a tubular connecting rod being connected with two shafts respectively of those two reclining elements. The tubular connecting rod has an L-shaped end portion having a longitudinal pressed region and a transverse flange portion, wherein a hole is formed in the transverse flange portion. One of the two reclining element shafts is inserted through such hole of transverse flange portion and welded thereto, while being also welded to the longitudinal pressed region of transverse flange portion. Such easy welding is effective in absorbing both longitudinal and radial errors or non-alignment between the two shafts.
