ABSTRACT:
A close-to-the-wall, three-way reclining chair having an all linkage recliner mechanism which allows the chair to move between upright, intermediate and full recline positions while the back of the chair remains a fixed distance from a wall located behind the chair. The chair incorporates a novel recliner linkage assembly for moving the seat and backrest of the chair relative to the chair's arms during movement between upright and reclined positions. The recliner linkage assembly includes a novel four bar linkage system for serving the dual function of (a) supporting the arm rests from a pair of hanger links for generally linear translatory movement during movement between upright and reclined positions, and (b) supporting the chair seat and back rest frames from the four bars for generally pivotal translatory movement between upright and reclined positions. The novel all linkage recliner mechanism is so constructed that only a minimal starting effort or motion is required to initiate movement from an upright toward a reclined position, after which the weight of the person in the chair causes the movement to be continued until the chair arrives at the first reclined or so-called TV position. Thereafter, movement from the first reclined to the full reclined position is effected by the person leaning back further in the chair or alternatively, movement is effected to the upright position from either of the two reclined positions by the person seated in the chair simply leaning forwardly.
