Abstract
A swivel type chair that functions as both a high back desk chair and a recliner. The seat and backrest pivot as a unit on the base between upright and reclined positions and a footrest is movable pivotally with respect to the seat and is tucked underneath the seat when the chair is in the upright position to function as a desk chair and elevates to an extended position automatically when the chair is moved to the reclined position. A brake mechanism is carried on the chair for locking the seat and backrest in any selected position between the upright and reclined positions.
