Abstract
A powered reclining lift chair includes a first base member for supporting the chair during the lift mode and a second base member having wheels for selectively transporting the chair from one location to another. The chair is operable through both lift and recline modes, as well as being manually actuated in a lowered position to transfer a portion of the chair weight to the second base member as desired. The manual actuation member is biased toward a first position that maintains two of the wheels above the ground surface.
