Inventors include Chieko Okuyama; and Tatsuhiko Oguchi -.
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: Brake device of vehicle seat has brake mechanism section (9) which causes pinion shaft (12) to be in a braking state so that pinion shaft (12) does not rotate against a reverse input, and drive mechanism section (10) which, when rotating operation lever (5) in one of forward or reverse rotational direction from a neutral position, releases the braking state of pinion shaft (12) and allows rotation of pinion shaft (12) in the one of forward or reverse rotational direction. Brake mechanism section (9) has housing (11) having, on its inner peripheral surface, cylindrical tubular frictional surface (13). Drive mechanism section (10) has drive wheel (18) that releases the braking state of pinion shaft (12) and rotates pinion shaft (12) integrally with operation lever (5). Drive wheel (18) has frictional resistance portions (30) that come into elastically press-contact with cylindrical tubular frictional surface (13) at at least three circumferential positions.
