Tube recliner mechanism and seat

A tube recliner mechanism comprising:

• an inner tube having opposing ends, a longitudinally extending row of first apertures formed through the inner tube intermediate the opposing ends;
• an outer tube having a row of longitudinally spaced apart second apertures extending between ends thereof in a rotationally offset pattern, the outer tube being coaxially positioned around the inner tube and rotatable relative to the inner tube, the spaced apart second apertures being rotationally offset to provide rotational adjustments of the outer tube relative to the inner tube;
• a pin assembly carried by the inner tube and including a plurality of pins extending outwardly through the row of first apertures in the inner tube;
• and
• the recliner mechanism having a locked position wherein rotation of the outer tube relative to the inner tube is prevented and an unlocked position wherein the outer tube can rotate relative to the inner tube, in the locked position at least one of the plurality of pins extends through an aligned second aperture.

A reclining seat comprising:

• risers mountable to a support base;
• a back frame;
• and
• a tube recliner mechanism movably coupling the back frame to the risers, the tube recliner mechanism having a locked position and an unlocked position, the tube recliner mechanism comprising:
• an inner tube coupled to one of the back frame and the risers;
• an outer tube coupled to an other of the risers and the back frame, the outer tube being coaxially positioned over the inner tube for relative rotational adjustment therebetween into a plurality of positions;
• and
• a pin assembly positioned within the inner tube and engaging the inner tube with the outer tube in the locked position to prevent relative rotation therebetween, the pin assembly disengaging the inner tube and the outer tube in the unlocked position to allow relative rotation.
