ABSTRACT:
A molded reclining rocker chair having a continuous body support panel with a head torso supporting portion smoothly joined to a rump and thigh supporting panel portion which, in turn, is smoothly connected to a leg and foot supporting panel portion. A pair of depending side rocker panels begin at the outermost tip of the head and torso panel portion and extend along the sides of the panel portions to smoothly and curvingly diverge from the outermost tip to proximate the beginning of the rump and thigh portion to form a concave side panel and a further shallow convexly curved portion leading to the tip of the leg and foot supporting panel portions. A runner is integrally molded to the lower edge of each side panel and a brace member extends between the side panels at the rump supporting portion of the thigh portion. The runner portion is thickened in the area of the concave rocker side panel to modify the radius of curvature thereof and strengthen the rocker runner at the point of most radial loading, pressure and wear. In addition, it makes it easier to shift from reclining to sitting position and vice versa. Snap fasteners or VELCRO fasteners for pads and pillows are provided and a swivelled or gimballed cup holder is utilized on the panel side. Hand-holds are also provided. Slotted panels allow air flow through head and torso and leg and foot panels. The construction is preferably made out of fiberglass because it is more resistant to cracking.
