ACTUATION MECHANISM FOR RECLINING CHAIR

摘要

The present invention is directed to a powered actuation mechanism for a reclining chair. The powered drive mechanism rotates a drive member which engages a follower member to extend the leg rest assembly. A biasing mechanism is coupled to the leg rest assembly to retract the leg rest assembly. In this manner, the leg rest assembly may not be fully retracted when an obstruction with the leg rest assembly is encountered.
