Abstract
A reclining chair mechanism is provided for a wall-proximity reclining chair permitting a chair of normal back height to be stationed as close as three inches to a wall or other structure when the back is upright, and, yet, have sufficient space for the back to recline. Further, in the preferred embodiment, the portions of the side linkages, which support and operate the chair back, are locked against permitting the back to recline from its upright position so long as the operating handle has not been rotated to extend the ottoman from its stowed position.
