Abstract

The present invention relates to a reclining device of a seat for a vehicle, which makes it possible to prevent backlash between an external gear 12 and an internal gear 22 in stop, resulting in preventing a vibration noise due to movement of the seatback. Further, it is possible to obtain sufficient power from even a small-output motor in operation, by minimizing the gear press angle to increase the operational efficiency. In addition, it is possible to design a compact reclining device by simplifying the shape and reduce the size of assemblies of wedge blocks 70, 120 and cams 80, 110, resulting in reducing the weight and the manufacturing cost and making it possible to freely designing the reclining device, depending on a disposing space.
