A lift and recliner chair (10) comprises: an internal framework (20), an external framework (18), and two motor actuators (38, 40). The first motor actuator (38) moves the chair to its lift assist position as well as the actuation of a footrest unit (16). The second motor actuator (40) controls the movement of a back unit (12) of the chair. The footrest unit can be locked in its CLOSED position, for safety reasons, when the chair is moved to its lift assist position. In addition, the chair comprises oppositely disposed structural systems incorporated within each one of the opposite sides of the chair, and the rear portion of each structural system has a dependent bracket (144) which engages top and external side portions or faces of laterally spaced tubes (26), which form parts of the chair base assembly or external framework, so as to effectively provide the chair with enhanced stability, particularly when an occupant is seated within the chair and also during actuation of either one of the first and second motor actuators. Still further, the internal framework effectively includes an upper framework unit and a lower framework unit wherein mounting tabs (152, 154) of the upper framework unit are fixedly connected to mounting brackets (150) of the lower framework unit such that the weight of the upper framework unit can be easily, securely, stably, and safely supported upon the lower framework unit. |
