ABSTRACT:
A locking mechanism configured to prevent rocking motion of a seat of a rocking and reclining chair relative to a base of the chair when the chair is in a reclined position, the locking mechanism being interconnected with the base and with a reclining mechanism of the chair, includes: a drive link adapted to be pivotally interconnected with the reclining mechanism; a control link adapted to be pivotally interconnected with the base and having a slot; and a bracing link pivotally interconnected with the drive link and slidably and pivotally interconnected with the control link via a pin inserted into the control link slot, the bracing link including a wheel at an engagement end thereof. The locking mechanism is configured to be movable between a retracted position, in which the engagement end of the bracing link does not engage the base to prevent rocking motion of the chair, and an extended position, in which the engagement end of the bracing link engages a bearing surface of the base to prevent rocking movement of the chair.
