Abstract
A push button actuated latch used in reclining chairs wherein one part of the latch is mounted on the ottoman linkage and the complimentary part of the latch is mounted beneath the seat. When the ottoman is retracted beneath the seat as the chair moves to the upright position, the parts of the latch engage one another to retain the ottoman in the retracted position. When the push button is depressed, a cable attached between it and the latch releases the latch and allows the ottoman to extend and the chair to move to the reclined position.
