Recliner with movable head or foot part

摘要

A piece of furniture has a generally stationary main part, an actuator in the main part, and a movable part that is pivotal on the main part generally about an axis. An actuating assembly for the movable part has an elongated one-piece operating bar formed of a single piece of tubing having a central portion extending along the axis and a pair of U-shaped end portions each having an inner arm forming a continuation of a respective outer end of the central portion and an outer arm extending across the axis, projecting radially therefrom, and provided with mounting formations. The portions and arms all are generally coplanar. Pivot pins fixed on the main part engage through the outer arms at the axis for pivoting of the operating bar on the main frame about the axis. Respective fittings secured to the mounting formations of the outer arms are connected to the movable part and a crank arm fixed on the central portion and extending radially therefrom is operatively connected to the actuator in the main part.
