ABSTRACT:
A reclining structure has a supporting frame structure and a fixed seat structure. The fixed seat structure is allowed to swing or pivot about a raised pivot connecting point on the frame structure so that, in its most reclined position, an occupant of the recliner has his feet raised to a level above his heart. The recliner seat structure features a back section, a seat section, and a footrest section, the three sections having a fixed structural relationship to each other. The frame structure features a first and a second side member, and elements for pivotably connecting the seat structure to the side members for swinging motion therebetween. The side members support, from the pivot point in each side member, the weight of the seat structure. The side members also support, in this manner, the weight of any occupant of the recliner. Thereby, the seat structure can swing beneath a pivot axis defined by the pivot points of the first and second side members.
