Abstract
A rocker chair has a table concealed in an arm thereof which is extendible into an operative horizontal position. A stop block member is slidably mounted on a side base member of the chair and is moved into an operative position wherein it is effective to prevent forward and backward rocking motion when the chair is in the upright position. An actuating cable is connected between the stop block and the table and is effective to automatically move the stop block into the operative position when the table is extended. The invention can be incorporated into a rocker/recliner chair or a simple rocker chair.
