  • Patent number: 5954392
    Abstract: A chaise lounge recliner/rocker chair is provided which incorporates an arm/leg rest member and an intermediate leg support member for providing support to an occupant of the chair. The arm/leg rest member is connected to a portion of the chair frame side panels and a portion of the leg rest member while the intermediate leg support member is independently connected to a portion of the seat member and a portion of the leg rest member. When the leg rest member is in a retracted position, the arm/leg rest member and intermediate leg support member overlie portions of the upright chair. As the leg rest member is moved to an extended position, the arm/leg rest member has its degree of arcuate curvature progressively reduced and finally extends in an essentially planar configuration between the side panels and the leg rest member.
