Abstract:
A vehicle seat including a seat bottom, a seat back rotatable relative to the seat bottom, and a damper assembly. The assembly includes a bracket coupled between the seat bottom and the seat back, and a cam plate coupled to the bracket and to the seat back. The cam plate is rotatable relative to the bracket and in a fixed orientation relative to the seat back such that the cam plate is rotatable with the seat back relative to the seat bottom. The cam plate includes an arcuate slot. The assembly also includes a linear damper including a first end coupled to the bracket and a second end coupled within the arcuate slot. The second end is translatable within the arcuate slot such that the linear damper is configured to provide selective damping to the seat back based on an orientation of the seat back relative to the seat bottom.
