ABSTRACT:
A powered tilting lounger comprising a pedestal upstanding from a base that rests on a supporting surface and a lounger pivotally mounted on the upper end of the pedestal at the upper forward region of the lounger. The lounger consists of a chair including a seat and a back which are immovable relative to each other and which blend in together with a curved portion whereby it may be occupied by a person in a lounging position. An electric motor is mounted on the pedestal and operates a screw stem to pull the lounging chair structure into an upright position in which an occupant may readily remove himself from the lounger, or pushes it into reclining position.
A leg rest is pivotally mounted on a horizontal axis at the forward edge of the seat portion and is moved into and out of a horizontal leg supporting position by an electric motor. An arm rest is pivotally mounted at its forward end on each side of the lounger and means for securing the arm rests in angularly adjusted positions are provided whereby each arm rest may assume a position for supporting the arms of an occupant, or swung into a horizontal position above the leg rest where it is adapted to support the foot of an occupant. The seat and back of the lounger are covered by a resiliant foam material and mechanism is provided at the lower portion of the back for altering the contour thereof so as to adjust this portion of the back to a particular occupant.
