FURNITURE MEMBER POWER MECHANISM WITH ZERO GRAVITY AND REAR TILT POSITIONS

摘要

A furniture member having a tilt position mechanism includes a base frame positioned on a floor surface. A first operating mechanism is connected to the base frame defining a tilt mechanism. The tilt mechanism includes a tilt motor connected to a rear member of the base frame. A torque tube positioned forward of the tilt motor is displaced by operation of the tilt motor. First and second rotation links are rotatably connected to the base frame and fixed to the torque tube. A pivot tube is positioned rearward of the torque tube and connected by first and second journal links to the support frame. The journal links are shorter than the rotation links such that torque tube forward and upward displacement forwardly rotates the journal links and displaces the pivot tube, creating a furniture member rear tilt position having the torque tube elevated above the pivot tube.

1. A furniture member having a tilt position mechanism, comprising:
a base frame supporting the furniture member on a floor surface; and a first operating mechanism connected to the base frame defining a tilt mechanism, the tilt mechanism including:
a tilt motor connected to a rear member of the base frame;a torque tube positioned forward of the tilt motor and displaced by operation of the tilt motor;first and second rotation links individually rotatably connected to the base frame and fixed to the torque tube; anda pivot tube positioned rearward of the torque tube and connected by first and second journal links to the support frame, the first and second journal links being shorter than the first and second rotation links such that forward and upward displacement of the torque tube further rotates the first and second journal links forwardly displacing the pivot tube, creating a furniture member rear tilt position having the torque tube elevated above the pivot tube.
