Abstract

A power reclining chair positionable by the operation of independent electric motors to which the leg portion, the seat portion and the back portion of the chair are each selectively responsive movement-wise. The leg portion is characterized by an extendable foot section which is movable from a normal position to an in-line position with respect to the longitudinal direction of the leg portion, and conversely. The instant power reclining chair may assume a variety of use positions, as, for example, an upright or sitting position; comfort, as reclining, positions; and, a substantially flat position.
