ABSTRACT:
A two-way wall-avoiding recliner chair including a seat and a backrest rigidly interconnected to move together as a unit relative to a fixed base to which the seat is mounted by a linkage for movement between a normal position in which the backrest is generally upright and a first reclining position in which the seat has been advanced forwardly relative to the base. A footrest is in retracted position at the front of the seat when the latter is in the normal position and is in extended position forwardly of the seat when the seat is placed into the first reclining position known as TV position. From the TV position, the seat and backrest unit may be moved into further reclined positions, including a fully reclined position with the footrest remaining extended but slightly adjusted downwardly for reclining comfort. Actuation of the seat and backrest unit between the normal and TV positions is achieved through the armrests which are mounted to the seat while also being connected to the footrest to actuate the latter. Actuation of the seat and backrest unit into the fully reclined position is achieved by the chair occupant exerting back pressure on the backrest which opens a four-bar linkage which includes the seat. This action also results in moving the seat forwardly a certain amount relative to the base. A sequencing linkage is provided between the footrest and the seat for preventing retraction of the footrest when the seat is in the fully reclined position and for preventing movement of the chair into full recline position unless the footrest is in extended position.
