ABSTRACT:
A wall-avoiding recliner chair wherein the seat and backrest move as a unit forwardly to a TV reclined position during which time the footrest is projected to extended position, and subsequently the seat and backrest may be moved relative to each other into advanced reclining positions with the footrest remaining extended. The chair is driven into TV position by the occupant moving the armrest forwardly while exerting pressure on the backrest. Subsequently, the chair is placed into advanced reclining positions by exerting pressure on the backrest. A carrier link is employed to suspend the seat therefrom while the carrier link is pivotally mounted to a fixed base by mounting links. The latter are actuated forwardly relative to the base by connection to the armrests. A sequencing linkage is utilized to prevent the backrest from pivoting relative to the seat until the TV position is reached. Subsequently, it permits a drive link connected to the backrest to swing the seat relative to the carrier link into advanced reclining positions when the chair occupant applies pressure on the backrest to move it relative to the seat into advanced reclining position. The footrest is actuated to extended TV position by an actuating link driven by a front carrier mounting link. The footrest is returned to retracted position from TV position by applying leg pressure on the footrest.
