More Information
Summary:A first and a second surface of a latch for a seat permit sliding passage of the latch relative to a front leg of a striker, upon contact of the front leg with either of the first and second surfaces. A third surface in a containing space of the latch stops the latch by contacting the front leg. The third surface is arranged such that a rear leg of the striker is brought in alignment with a lock groove of the latch upon contact of the front leg with the third surface. The latch can be guided along the second surface when the second surface contacts the front leg, so that the second surface slides on and past the front leg. By continuously unfolding the seat back upwards until the third surface contacts the front leg, the seat back can be set to a design reference position.
