Seatback recliner mechanism
 A hinge fitting for a reclining vehicle seat structure comprises a fixed support bracket, a seatback member, a locking member, and a lock actuating mechanism. The lock actuating mechanism includes a cam with two cam arms to move the locking member into locking and un-locking positions. The shape and positioning of the cam result in a hinge fitting that is resistant to unlocking in response to a force applied to the seatback. The operator for the lock actuating mechanism is mounted remotely from the intersection of the seat and seatback.
