ABSTRACT:
A rocking mechanism for mounting a piece of furniture, such as a chair, sofa or cradle, on a support arrangement, the rocking mechanism allowing the piece of furniture to rock relative to the support arrangement. The mechanism comprises a unitary front link, a unitary rear link and first and second lower links. The unitary front link has an upper end adapted to be pivotally mounted to the support and a lower end that defines an elongated bottom front bearing member. The unitary rear link has an upper end adapted to be pivotally mounted to the support arrangement and a lower end that defines an elongated bottom rear bearing member. Each of the lower links has a front end and a rear end. The front ends of the first and second lower links are pivotally mounted to the bottom front bearing member about a pivot axis that extends along the bottom front bearing member, where the bottom front bearing member extends substantially continuously from the front end of the first lower link to the front end of the second lower link. Any type of furniture, for instance a seat, a chair, a sofa or the like may be mounted on top of the rocking mechanism. Variants with a sofa, a baby bed, a cradle or a footrest may also be provided.
