Abstract:
Seat assemblies including a substantially perpendicular pull actuator release are described. The seat assemblies can include a seat and a seat recline mechanism. The seat can include a back portion and a seat pan. The seat recline mechanism can include a gas spring, a control cable, an actuator, a frame, and a lever. The gas spring can include a release mechanism. The actuator can couple to a first end of the control cable. The lever can include a pivot location, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm can couple to the second end of the control cable. The lever can respond to a pulling force exerted by the actuator on the control cable by rotating about the pivot location such that the second arm engages the release mechanism of the gas spring to allow the back portion to rotate relative to the seat pan.

Claim (Index 11):
A device comprising:\n a frame with an opening in a section of the frame for housing a release mechanism of a gas spring with a first part of the gas spring coupled to a back portion of a seat and a second part coupled to a seat pan of the seat; and a lever coupled to the frame at a pivot location and biased to a first position, and comprising:\n a first arm extending from the pivot location, couplable to an end of a control cable, and for responding to a pulling force applied to the control cable by causing the lever to rotate about the pivot location to a second position; and \n a second arm extending from the pivot location to form an angle \u03b1 between the first arm and the second arm with the pivot location forming a vertex of the angle \u03b1, the second arm for applying, in the second position, a depressing force to the release mechanism of the gas spring to allow the back portion to rotate relative to the seat pan.
