ABSTRACT:
One aspect of the invention concerns a lift-recliner chair comprising a base portion (12), a seat portion (14) pivotally connected to the base portion, a back portion (16) pivotally connected to the seat portion and a first actuator (62) for moving the seat portion with respect to the base portion and a second actuator (64) for moving the back portion with respect to the seat portion so as to alter the configuration of the chair. The actuators are substantially enclosed within the base portion of the chair between a pair of opposed structural base portion side panels (18) in all configurations of the chair. The seat portion is pivotally connected to the side panels (18) and is movable between a retracted and nested position within the base portion to an raised position in which it is telescopically extended from the base. The nested configuration can reduce the risk of entrapment between moving parts of the chair.
