Abstract
A wall proximity three-position reclining chair having a seat and frame assembly which moves with respect to a fixed base and which has a backrest movable with respect to the seat. The seat and frame assembly and backrest are carried by a handle actuated mechanism which includes a seat mounting link supported by swing links in turn suspended from a support link. The support link is carried on front and rear pivot links mounted on a fixed base plate. A slidable pivotal connection is provided between the base plate and front pivot link while the pivotal connection for the rear pivot link is fixed. A control link interconnects the two pivot links and prevents the mechanism from collapsing and reduces the arc through which the front pivot link must swing to recline the chair.
