  • Patent number: 5312153
    Abstract: A recline lift chair operates between an upright position and a reclined position under power such that the backrest moves away from an adjacent wall. The chair comprises a base to which is pivotally connected a lift mechanism. The lift mechanism is moved between an upright position and a lift position by a power actuator pivotally secured between the base and the lift mechanism. Pivotally supported on the lift mechanism is a recliner mechanism that includes a pair of four-bar linkages to which the seat and backrest are fastened. The power actuator acts through a control linkage of the recliner mechanism to move the four-bar linkages between an upright position and a reclined position. Movement of the four-bar linkages from the upright position to the reclined position locates the seat and backrest upwardly and forwardly relative to their respective locations when in the upright position to move the backrest away from the wall.
