Abstract
A brake device of a recliner for a vehicle seat includes: a housing having a through-hole through which a shaft of a seat recliner passes and a key portion formed toward the inside thereof; a fixture provided in an accommodation space of the housing, through which the shaft penetrates, supported upwards by a spring, and configured to be prevented from rotating by engagement of a protrusion portion and the key portion while being supported upwards; and a release lever installed above the fixture to be coupled to the shaft and configured to preferentially rotate, when a rotational force is applied from the outside, the shaft and enable rotation of the shaft and the fixture.

A brake device of a recliner for a vehicle seat, the brake device comprising:
- a housing having a through-hole through which a shaft of a seat recliner passes, an accommodation space formed therein, and a key portion formed toward an inside thereof;
- a fixture disposed in the accommodation space of the housing, through which the shaft penetrates, supported upwards by a spring, having a protrusion portion formed on an outer side thereof, and configured to be prevented from rotating by engagement of the protrusion portion and the key portion while being supported upwards;
- and
- a release lever installed above the fixture to be coupled to the shaft and configured to preferentially rotate, when a rotational force is applied from an outside, the shaft and press the fixture downwards to release the engagement of the protrusion portion and the key portion, thereby enabling rotation of the shaft and the fixture,
- wherein a rotation hole is defined in a center of the release lever to allow the shaft to pass therethrough, and
- wherein the rotation hole is defined in a rectangular shape having a different size from the shaft to enable the rotation of the shaft at an angle.
A brake device of a recliner for a vehicle seat, the brake device comprising:
- a housing having a through-hole through which a shaft of a seat recliner passes, an accommodation space formed therein, and a key portion formed toward an inside thereof;
- a fixture disposed in the accommodation space of the housing, through which the shaft penetrates, supported upwards by a spring, having a protrusion portion formed on an outer side thereof, and configured to be prevented from rotating by engagement of the protrusion portion and the key portion while being supported upwards;
- and
- a release lever installed above the fixture to be coupled to the shaft and configured to preferentially rotate, when a rotational force is applied from an outside, the shaft and press the fixture downwards to release the engagement of the protrusion portion and the key portion, thereby enabling rotation of the shaft and the fixture,
- wherein each side of a rotation hole defined in a center of the release lever is provided with a movement allowance space where the shaft is movable, the shaft passing through the rotation hole, and
- wherein when the rotational force is applied from the outside, the shaft rotates into the movement allowance space to be regulated in a position of the shaft.
A brake device of a recliner for a vehicle seat, the brake device comprising:
- a housing having a through-hole through which a shaft of a seat recliner passes, an accommodation space formed therein, and a key portion formed toward an inside thereof;

- and
- a release lever installed above the fixture to be coupled to the shaft and configured to preferentially rotate, when a rotational force is applied from an outside, the shaft and press the fixture downwards to release the engagement of the protrusion portion and the key portion, thereby enabling rotation of the shaft and the fixture,
- wherein a rotation hole is defined in a center of the release lever to allow the shaft to pass therethrough, and
- wherein the shaft contacts the rotation hole at a plurality of spaced points on the rotation hole.
