ABSTRACT:
A two-way actuator is provided for a reclining chair preferably of the type that is driven to the reclining positions by the weight of the chair occupant. In such chairs, the reclining mechanisms are typically linkage systems that are held in retracted position by a lock mechanism. A release is provided to actuate the lock mechanism to permit the weight of the chair occupant to drive the reclining mechanism to TV position wherein the footrest is extended. The two-way actuator of the present invention is connected to the release so that the chair occupant may rotate a handle in the form of a knob, for example, in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction to actuate the release to open the lock mechanism and thereby permit movement of the chair to the TV position.
