Abstract
Improvements in a rocker recliner chair which permit the backrest to be moved to an initial, relatively slight reclining position without having to first extend the footrest from retracted to extended position, however, in order to continue to move the backrest into a full recline position into an advanced or full recline position, the footrest must be extended which is effected through a manually operated handle connected to the footrest linkage. The foregoing sequencing and control is achieved by a linkage interconnecting the footrest linkage and the linkage which serves to mount the seat relative to the base which, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, includes a rocker frame.
