METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A THREE POSITION WALL-AVOIDING RECLINING CHAIR

摘要

A three position reclining chair having a front panel, arms (25), a seat cushion (31) and a seat back (27), has a positioning linkage (10) with interconnected seat support (16), leg support (12) and seat back linkage (14) groups. The seat support linkage group supports the chair seat for forward movement from the first, closed and erect position, so that initial forward movement of the seat actuates the leg support linkage for extending and rotating leg support members, to provide a second, TV position, and continued forward movement actuates the seat back positioning linkage, to rotate and incline the seat back without rearward movement of any portion thereof.
