| 摘要 |
The invention concerns an article of adjustable furniture such as a recliner chair (10) or adjustable bed (200) comprising a base (16), an intermediate support (18) and a back support (20). The intermediate support is guided for movement relative to the base by first guide means. The back support is guided for movement relative to both the base and intermediate support by second guide means. The first guide means include at least one guide (36, 38) associated with one of the base and intermediate support and at least one follower (32, 34) associated with the other of the base and intermediate support. The second guide means includes at least one guide (76) associated with one of the base support and the back support and at least one follower (48) associated with the other of the base support and the back support. The back support is mounted for pivotal movement (74) with respect to the intermediate support. The first and second guide means are arranged such that, in use, pivoting of the back support relative to the intermediate support causes the intermediate support to move with respect to the base in a forward and possibly upward manner when the back support is reclined or raised to provide a "zero-wall" item of furniture. |
