A disc recliner operatively coupling a seat back to a seat cushion to allow pivotal movement of the seat back between a plurality of reclined seating positions and a folded position, said disc recliner comprising: a fixed plate adapted to be mounted to the seat cushion; a movable plate adapted to be mounted to the seat back and rotatably coupled to said fixed plate, said movable plate including a plurality of inwardly-facing teeth and a first bearing surface; a gear plate disposed between said fixed and movable plates (12, 14), said gear plate including a plurality of outwardly-facing teeth; a set of pawls operatively coupled to said gear plate, wherein said pawls is movable between a first position engaged with said fixed plate, there-by coupling said gear plate and said fixed plate together, and a second position wherein said pawls are disengaged from said fixed plate, thereby uncoupling said gear plate and said fixed plate to allow rotational movement of said gear plate relative to said fixed plate; a cam biased in a first direction for maintaining said pawls in said first position; a release shaft for rotating said cam in a second direction; a pawl release plate coupled to said cam for rotation therewith, wherein said pawl release plate moves said pawls from said first position to said second position in response to rotation of said release shaft to allow pivotal movement of the seat back to the folded position, a pair of wedges (86, 88) defining an eccentric element operatively coupled between said first bearing surface of said movable plate and said gear plate, thereby causing said outwardly-facing teeth on said gear plate to meshingly engage with said inwardly-facing teeth on said movable plate at an engagement point, and a cam-driver, wherein rotation of said cam-driver rotates said wedges (86, 88) thereby shifting said engagement point between said gear and movable plates (18, 14) and causing wobbling rotational movement of said movable plate relative to said gear plate to pivotally adjust the seat back between the plurality of reclined seating positions, characterised in that the gear plate further includes a plurality of spaced apart raised embossments for slidably guiding radial movement of said pawls between said first and second positions. a fixed plate adapted to be mounted to the seat cushion; a movable plate adapted to be mounted to the seat back and rotatably coupled to said fixed plate, said movable plate including a plurality of inwardly-facing teeth and a first bearing surface; a gear plate disposed between said fixed and movable plates (12, 14), said gear plate including a plurality of outwardly-facing teeth; a set of pawls operatively coupled to said gear plate, wherein said pawls is movable between a first position engaged with said fixed plate, there-by coupling said gear plate and said fixed plate together, and a second position wherein said pawls are disengaged from said fixed plate, thereby uncoupling said gear plate and said fixed plate to allow rotational movement of said gear plate relative to said fixed plate; a cam biased in a first direction for maintaining said pawls in said first position; a release shaft for rotating said cam in a second direction; a pawl release plate coupled to said cam for rotation therewith, wherein said pawl release plate moves said pawls from said first position to said second position in response to rotation of said release shaft to allow pivotal movement of the seat back to the folded position, a pair of wedges (86, 88) defining an eccentric element operatively coupled between said first bearing surface of said movable plate and said gear plate, thereby causing said outwardly-facing teeth on said gear plate to meshingly engage with said inwardly-facing teeth on said movable plate at an engagement point, and a cam-driver, wherein rotation of said cam-driver rotates said wedges (86, 88) thereby shifting said engagement point between said gear and movable plates (18, 14) and causing wobbling rotational movement of said movable plate relative to said gear plate to pivotally adjust the seat back between the plurality of reclined seating positions,
