<p>A locking mechanism for reclining chairs normally preventing recline of the chair and operated by or upon the extension of the footrest to permit the chair to recline, and upon recline, to lock the footrest against retraction. When the chair is shifted back to sitting position the footrest is again retractable, and when retracted, again prevents recline of the chair. Installed in a rocker-recliner, the mechanism also normally prevents recline, and when operated as above stated to permit recline, simultaneously locks the chair against rocking. Both recline and rocking locks utilize paired links alignable alternatively to prevent or permit relative movement of their associated parts. Also, recline of the chair, while locking the footrest against independent retraction, effects a slight related retraction thereof to prevent downward pull upon the occupant's outstretched legs upon recline.</p> |
