Abstract
A multi-position, wall avoiding reclining chair assembly having a unitized metal frame construction and featuring an improved linkage for supporting a chair seat for forwardly directed movement relative to a chair supporting base, as the chair assumes an intermediate reclined or TV position. The chair assembly also features an improved mechanism permitting the application of pressure to a back rest to initiate movement of the chair seat and a foot rest relative to the chair supporting base between their upright and reclined positions without producing substantial coincident rearwardly directed reclining movements of the back rest relative to the chair seat. After the chair seat and foot rest are disposed in their reclined positions to define the intermediate reclined or TV position of the chair, the application of pressure to the back rest will effect movement thereof into its reclined position to thereby define the fully reclined position of the chair.
