ABSTRACT:
A rockable against-the-wall type reclining chair includes a chair frame rockably mounted upon a carriage which is rollably supported on tracks mounted in a forwardly downward incline upon a stationary base. The chair seat, back, and foot rest are in turn supported on the chair frame by a reclining linkage. The carriage is normally retained at a rearward against-the-wall position upon the base by releasable latch means coupled between the base and a linkage supported element of the assembly to be released in response to a slight reclining movement initiated by the occupant of the chair. When the latch is released, the chair carriage rolls gravitationally away from the wall to a position where rocking and reclining can occur. A chair frame return spring system is operable to apply a relatively light biasing action against the advancing movement of the carriage toward the away-from-the-wall position. A one-way drive mechanism is cocked by the reclining action of one portion of the reclining linkage and upon subsequent return of that element to its normal position, the drive mechanism substantially increases the tension of the return spring system so that the carriage is firmly restored to its against-the-wall position as soon as the chair becomes unoccupied. Upon restoration of the carriage to its against-the-wall position, the increased tension is released from the spring system.
