  • Patent number: 4527832
    Abstract: A seating assembly in which each of a pair of reclinable back assemblies is attached to the seat frame by way of a pair of mounting brackets, one fixed and one adjustable, the adjustable bracket being releasably locked to the frame when the back seat is in place and with the fixed bracket defining pivot points for the seat back. The recliner mechanism for the seat backs are contained within armrests for the seats, the armrests being cantilever mounted to maximize leg and hip room for occupants of the seats. A pedestal mount supports the seating assembly near the center of the unit. The back seat cushion comprises deep layered foam covered with woven upholstery fabric that is tufted to achieve a "loose pillow" appearance, the cushion construction being accomplished with the use of a grid of wires which control the pillow shape, and a series of pull tabs which create a tufted-button look.
