Reclining chair system, method of operating associated thereto, and kit for assembling the same

Abstract

A reclining chair system operable about different modes. The reclining chair includes a base, an intermediate member, left and right side frames, a support chassis, and a footrest. The intermediate member has opposite left and right sides, and is mounted onto the base so as to be rotatably moveable with respect to the base via a corresponding rotating assembly so as to operate the reclining chair in a rotating mode. The left and right side frames are operatively mounted respectively onto the left and right sides of the intermediate member via a corresponding rocking assembly so as to operate the reclining chair system in a rocking mode. The support chassis extends between the left and right side frames for operatively supporting a seat and a backrest of the reclining chair system. The footrest is operatively mounted onto the support chassis and is operable therealong between retracted and extended positions via a corresponding deployment assembly so as to operate the reclining chair system in a deployed mode, the footrest being further configured to be operated into an elevated position whereby the deployment assembly of the footrest cooperates with the rocking assembly of the intermediate member so as to prevent the reclining chair system from being operated in the rocking mode. Also described are a method of operating the reclining chair system, and a kit for assembling the same.
