Abstract
A three-position reclining chair with a stationary frame, and a movable seat and backrest fixed with respect to one another. A handle actuated mechanism supports the seat and backrest within the frame and includes a mounting plate attached to the frame arms, a carrier link pivoted at its rear end on the mounting plate, and a seat mounting link carrying the seat and backrest and pivoted at its rear end on a rear pivot link and at its front end on a front pivot link, in turn respectively supported on the mounting plate and carrier link. A lazy tong linkage mounts on a footrest on the seat mounting link and front pivot link. The handle assembly with the assist of a spring pivots the rear pivot link to move the chair from an upright to an intermediate reclining position, and pressure against the backrest pivots the carrier link on the mounting plate to move the chair from the intermediate to the fully reclined position.
