Description

[0001] Cross-references to related applications [0002] This application claims benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 081,215, filed July 16, 2008, in the name of Zorine, entitled "PIVOT PIN RETAINER MECHANISM," the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference incorporated into this manual. Background technique [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of vehicle seating. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to pivot pin couplings for vehicle seat assemblies. [0004] Traditional pivot pin joints require a large amount of installation space and are often difficult to install manually due to their complexity. Additionally, traditional pivot pin couplings require users to assemble vehicle seats using numerous fasteners, further adding to their complexity and cost. [0005] There remains a great need to provide a pivot pin coupling that takes up less space, can be more easily installed, and allows the...
