  • the rear bearing may include a radial bearing such as a ball bearing, and the radial bearing may be rotatably supported with respect to the lower bracket 12.
  • the leaf spring 40 is provided as the biasing member.
  • the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a torsion coil spring or the like is used instead of the leaf spring 40. It's okay.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un régleur inclinable (10) capable de régler l’angle d’inclinaison d’un support supérieur (14) fixé à un dossier de siège par rapport à un support inférieur (12) fixé à un coussin de siège. Le régleur inclinable comprend une roue à vis (20) fixée axialement au support supérieur (14) de manière à être tourné intégralement l’un avec l’autre, une vis sans fin (22) engrenée avec la roue à vis (20) et un palier avant (30) et un palier arrière (32) faisant tourner de manière pivotante la vis sans fin (22) sur le support inférieur (12). L’élément de palier (30B) formant le palier avant (30) est supporté verticalement de manière coulissante sur le support inférieur (12) et lorsque l’angle d’inclinaison de dossier de siège par rapport au coussin de siège est conservé, l’élément de palier est déplacé vers le côté supérieur (côté de la roue à vis (20)) par la force de mise sous tension d’un ressort à plateau (40).
