A rotary dampener for an automotive seat assembly includes an inboard cover (30), a pivot pin (54) fixedly coupled to the inboard cover, an actuating bracket (106) pivotably coupled to the pivot pin (54) and including an actuating tab (112), a leaf spring (182) fixedly coupled to the inboard cover (30), and a dampener roller (122) coupled to the actuating bracket (106) and configured to f rictiona lly engage with the leaf spring (182) as the actuating bracket rotates in a forward rotational direction. The rotary dampener also includes an outboard cover (154) pivotably coupled to the pivot pin (54) and fixedly coupled to the actuating tab (106). When the outboard cover (154) is rotated relative to the inboard cover (30) in the forward rotational direction, the rotary dampener dampens a rotational velocity of the outboard cover (154) while the dampener roller (122) is frictiona lly engaged with the leaf spring (182) and the rotational velocity is undampened while the dampener roller (122) is disengaged from the leaf spring (182).
