FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a leisure chair, and more particularly to a reclining leisure chair.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As shown in
FIG. 1
, a prior art leisure chair comprises a movable backrest
10
and a movable seat
11
, which can be adjusted for reclining by a reclining mechanism. The reclining mechanism of the prior art leisure chair enables the seat
11
to move at the same time when the backrest
10
is adjusted for reclining. However, the back and the waist of a person seated on the prior art leisure chair are subjected to great stress in the midst of a reclining action.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a reclining leisure chair which is free of the deficiency of the prior art leisure chair described above.
In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objective of the present invention is attained by a reclining leisure chair comprising a base frame, a seat frame, a backrest frame, and a driving device mounted on the base frame to enable the seat frame and the backrest frame to move simultaneously in such a manner that the back and the waist of a person seated on the reclining leisure chair are not subjected to pressure.
The reclining leisure chair of the present invention further comprises a hassock frame which is pivoted with one end of a link rod. The link rod is pivoted at other end with the backrest frame in conjunction with a control rod. The backrest frame can be thus adjusted for reclining independently of the seat frame.
