  • Patent number: 6206472
    Abstract: A simplified reclining mechanism, as for chairs and seating, is herein described. The balanced design of such a reclinable chair for yard or patio usage is herein described. The reclining mechanism is an integral part of the chair or seat. The contoured design of the seat, back, legs and headrest gives firm, comfortable support to all parts of the body in both positions. What makes this chair stand above the rest is its unique 2 position balanced design. In the upright position it functions as a chair with head and legrest. Balance is the key to this design. By slightly throwing or shifting your weight backwards, this chair teters, giving a feeling of weightlessness and falling backwards until it lands solidly on its rear legs. In this position, every part of the occupant's body is cradled by the design. This chair also has the health advantage of having your legs lifted and held at heart level.
