ABSTRACT:
A close-to-the-wall recliner chair has a body support, i.e., seat and backrest, which is pivotally mounted on a body support frame, and the body support frame is in turn carried on a stationary chair base by roller and track means, thereby permitting forward/rearward motion of the body support frame on the chair base as the body support moves between upright and reclining positions. This forward and rearward motion is effected by a unitized recliner chair mechanism which comprises (a) a conventional recliner mechanism interconnecting the body support frame and the body support, (b) a conventional track and roller assembly, (c) a novel bracket fixedly interconnecting the rollers of the track assembly to the recliner mechanism, and (d) a novel control linkage connected at one end to the track of the roller track assembly and at the opposite end of the footrest linkage of the recliner mechanism. Intermediate its ends, this control linkage is connected to the roller bracket so that as the footrest is opened or extended, the roller bracket is pulled forwardly on the chair base, and as the footrest is retracted, the roller bracket is pushed rearwardly. The control linkage is oriented in a generally vertical plane, and is positioned so that it is generally hidden from view in the upright and all reclining positions of the chair.
