Abstract
A reclining apparatus for adjusting a tilt angle between a first member and a second member includes: a base plate mounted to the first member; a gear plate mounted to the second member and assembled with the base plate rotatably relative to each other; a gear mechanism for controlling engagement of the gear plate with the base plate; and a cover having a first tubular portion fixed to an outer periphery of the base plate and a second tubular portion in slide contact with an outer periphery of the gear plate, the cover being configured to allow the base plate and the gear plate to rotate relative to each other and to suppress a relative movement therebetween in an axial direction. The first tubular portion is coupled by welding to the outer periphery of the base plate.
