Abstract
A theater chair comprises a flip-up/flip-down seat, a reclining backrest, and a reclining seat. An actuator is operatively connected to the reclining backrest for moving the backrest and seat from a normal or default upright position to any one of a multitude of reclined positions. The flip-up/flip-down seat is provided with a spring for returning the seat to its upright position when the seat is unoccupied. A sensor is operatively associated with the seat so as to effectively monitor the orientation of the seat. When the seat is vacated, the sensor will detect movement of the seat and send an appropriate signal to a control circuit which is operatively connected to the actuator. After a predetermined period of time, the actuator will be actuated so as to return the backrest from the reclined position to the default upright position.
