ABSTRACT:
A light weight, durable recliner mechanism is provided for various chairs, sofas and other furniture for the manual extension and retraction of a leg support. The mechanism includes an axle operated by an extended handle. A pair of arms having V-shaped pivotable sections extend the leg support forwardly of the chair as desired. The sides of the chair act as guide supports and each define a slot for receiving a moveable slot guide which is part of the recliner mechanism. At the terminal end of each slot and communicating therewith is a locking channel to prevent the recliner mechanism from inadvertently retracting if contacted such as by being bumped or kicked. The recliner mechanism will support heavy loads without damage due in part to it remaining grounded during use.
