PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance latch strength in the axial direction by an outer peripheral ring.SOLUTION: An outer peripheral ring 90 is mounted over the outer peripheral parts of a ratchet 10 and a guide 20 both disposed in a recliner 4, and functioning to latch them in the axial direction; a press part 91 to be abutted against the outer peripheral part of the ratchet 10 from outside in the axial direction is endlessly formed around the outer peripheral ring 90; caulking pieces 92A to be abutted against the outer peripheral part of the guide 20 from outside in the axial direction is formed around a partial area of the outer peripheral ring 90 in the circumferential direction, accordingly the outer peripheral ring 90 has abutting portions extending longer inside in the radial direction than the press part 91. 【課題】外周リングによる軸方向の外れ止め強度を向上させる。【解決手段】リクライナ４のラチェット１０とガイド２０との外周部間に跨って装着されてこれらの軸方向の外れ止めをする外周リング９０は、ラチェット１０の外周部に軸方向の外側からあてがわれる押さえ部９１が全周に亘って無端状に形成されており、ガイド２０の外周部に軸方向の外側からあてがわれるかしめ片９２Ａが円周方向の一部領域に形成されて上記押さえ部９１よりも半径方向の内側に長く延びるあてがい代を有した形状とされている。【選択図】図７
