DEFINITION

Classification: 297/378.11

Including inertia-responsive latch:

(under subclass 378.1) Device having a retaining member configured to hold the back against forward folding movement only when there is a presence of an inertia force, wherein upon absence of such inertia force, the back may be pivoted forward by an occupant without operating the retaining

member.

(1) Note. The inertia force is usually caused by a sudden or rapid deceleration of a vehicle carrying the seating device.
