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 1):
A seat assembly comprising:\n a seat with a seat pan and back portion; and a seat recline mechanism comprising:\n a gas spring with a release mechanism, the gas spring including a first part coupled to the back portion of the seat and a second part coupled to the seat pan; \n a control cable with a first end and a second end; \n an actuator coupled to the first end of the control cable; \n a frame with an opening in a section of the frame, the opening for housing a portion of the release mechanism; and \n a lever with a pivot location coupled to the frame, and comprising:\n a first arm extending from the pivot location and coupled to the second end of the control cable; and \n a second arm extending from the pivot location and forming an angle \u03b1 between the first arm and the second arm with the pivot location forming a vertex of the angle \u03b1; and \n \n wherein the lever is configured to respond to a pulling force exerted by the actuator on the first end of the of the control cable by rotating about the pivot location toward the frame such that the second arm of the lever engages the release mechanism of the gas spring to allow the back portion to rotate relative to the seat pan.
