ABSTRACT:
A lift recliner chair is provided also incorporating a rocker assembly including rocker structure mounted from the chair and floor engageable rocker plate structure rockably connected to the rocker structure, whereby the chair may be rocked back and forth relative to the rocker plate structure. However, inasmuch as the center of mass of a recliner chair and a person disposed thereon is appreciably rearwardly shifted relative to the chair base when the chair is in the recliner defining configuration, the chair is equipped with a downwardly extendable and upwardly retractable prop automatically shifted between the retracted and extended positions thereof as the chair is shifted between the chair defining and recliner defining configurations thereof. When the prop is in the downwardly extended position, it engages the floor from which the chair is supported rearward of the rocker assembly and in a manner to prevent rearward rocking of the chair relative to the rocker plate structure past the center position of rocking movement of the chair.
