20090146468 | Reclining Lounge Chair - An improved reclining lounge chair is described, which comprises a footrest that is pivotally connected to a center seat member by a footrest attachment axle, and in which the footrest position is controlled by a footrest lift mechanism. While the lounge chair is its non-reclined upright position the footrest is oriented approximately vertical. In this approximately vertical orientation the footrest doesn't extend significantly forward of the center seat member, thus allowing an occupant easy access to the chair from the front. In its fully reclined position the footrest rotates into an approximately horizontal orientation, providing a comfortable reclined position. | 06-11-2009 |
20090289477 | ARMCHAIR - Armchair with a seat surface and a leg rest which can be pivoted out, wherein the armchair can be pivoted between a sitting position and a reclining position, for which purpose the seat surface can be displaced to the rear in relation to a fixed frame and is articulated in the front region via erecting levers, and the leg rest is coupled to the seat surface in such a manner that it is pivoted when the seat surface is displaced to the rear, wherein the leg rest is connected to the erecting levers by means of a first sliding mounting and is articulated on the fixed frame by means of a second sliding mounting, wherein the first sliding mounting is connected pivotably to the second sliding mounting, and wherein the second sliding mounting is configured in such a manner that its orientation changes during the pivoting operation, characterized in that the leg rest has a thigh part and a calf part, which parts are connected pivotably to each other in such a manner that, when the seat surface is displaced to the rear, the calf part is pivoted from a position arranged approximately parallel to the seat surface and below the seat surface into an approximately horizontal position. | 11-26-2009 |
20100109387 | Seat for a means of transport - A seat and a seat system for a means of transport. The seat includes a seat surface, a backrest, and an adjustable leg support and/or foot support arranged in the region in front of the seat surface. The leg support and/or foot support is configured to be divided in the longitudinal direction into two parts, and the two parts are configured to be adjustable separately. | 05-06-2010 |
20110266841 | CHAIR - There is provided a chair comprising: a backrest with a waist support projecting part; a horizontal forward seat; a backward seat pivotally supported so as to be able to swing downward relative to the forward seat; a leg support pivotally supported at a front end of the forward seat; links for changing a positional relation between the rear end of the backward seat and the lower end of the backrest so that a distance from the waist support projecting part to the backward seat is reduced from a standing posture to a tilted posture as the backrest is tilted backward; and a connection link for connecting the lower end of the backrest and a part of the leg support lower than the upper end of the leg support so as to cause the leg support to swing forward as the backrest is tilted backward. | 11-03-2011 |
20110298249 | OTTOMAN DEVICE FOR VARIABLE-CUSHION-LENGTH SEAT - An ottoman device includes a first mechanism that has an operating portion operable to adjust a longitudinal position of a front end portion of a seat cushion corresponding to the inner sides of knees of a seated person, and is operable to vary a cushion length by adjusting the longitudinal position of the front end portion of the seat cushion by means of the operating portion, an ottoman body that extends from the front end portion of the seat cushion toward toes of the seated person, and a second mechanism operable to lift the ottoman body by reducing a flexion angle of the ottoman body at the front end portion of the seat cushion, so as to bring the ottoman body into a lifted condition. The ottoman body is provided as a unit with the operating portion, and the first and second mechanisms operate independently of each other. | 12-08-2011 |
20130200658 | HIGH LEG RECLINING SEATING UNIT WITH EXTENDABLE FOOTREST - A reclining seating unit includes: a base that rests on an underlying surface; a seat; a backrest; an ottoman; and a reclining mechanism comprising a plurality of pivotally interconnected links and attached to the base, seat, backrest and ottoman. The reclining mechanism moves the seat, backrest and ottoman relative to the base between (a) an upright position, wherein the backrest is generally upright, the seat is generally horizontal, and the ottoman is positioned beneath the seat and faces generally downwardly, (b) a TV position, wherein the backrest is generally upright and the ottoman is generally horizontally disposed in front of the seat, and (c) a fully reclined position, wherein the ottoman remains generally horizontally disposed in front of the seat and the backrest takes a shallower angle relative to the seat than in the upright and TV positions. The ottoman is between about 8 and 12 inches in length. | 08-08-2013 |
20140159436 | RECLINING CHAIR - The reclining chair | 06-12-2014 |
20140239676 | CHAIR - A chair with a seat portion and a base portion fixed to a floor surface. A seat back is mounted to the seat portion through a hinge portion for rotation with respect to the seat portion with a guide groove formed on side surfaces thereof. The guide groove has a guide pin movably fitted so as to be movable in the front-and-rear direction together with the seat portion with respect to the base portion. A foot stand is rotatably mounted to a front end portion of the seat portion through a second hinge portion with a connecting rod with one end portion rotatably mounted to the foot stand through a third hinge portion and the other end portion rotatably mounted to a lower end portion of the seat back through a fourth hinge portion so as to connect the foot stand and the seat back to each other. | 08-28-2014 |
20150289655 | ZERO-WALL CLEARANCE LINKAGE MECHANISM INCLUDING A SINGLE DRIVE LINK - A seating unit that includes a linkage mechanism adapted to adjust between closed, extended, and reclined positions is provided. The linkage mechanism includes an adjustment mechanism having a motor and a track that is coupled to the motor and that extends from a front portion of the seating unit to a rear portion of the seating unit. The linkage mechanism also includes a motor activator block slidably coupled to the track and movable along the track using the motor, as well as a single drive link that is attached to the motor activator block. The motor activator block includes a carriage body that slidably attaches the motor activator block to the track and one or more mounting tabs that extend from the carriage body toward the rear portion of the seating unit and that are coupled to the single drive link. | 10-15-2015 |
