Patent number: 8506009Abstract: An electrically operated wall proximity furniture member includes a frame and an actuation mechanism rotatably connected to the frame. The actuation mechanism includes first and second independently rotatable seat back support members oriented to face a wall outer surface. An electrically powered drive assembly operates to rotate the seat back member between fully upright and fully reclined positions inclusive. A point of the seat back support members when positioned in the fully upright position defines a rear-most extent of the actuation mechanism. The rear-most extent defines a vertical plane having no portion of the actuation mechanism extending beyond the rear-most extent toward the wall outer surface during any operation of the actuation mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2010Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: La-Z-Boy IncorporatedInventors: Larry P. LaPointe, Chad E. Adams, Eric B. Harwood, Richard E. Marshall, Michael R. Mero, Jr.

Patent number: 8459732Abstract: A rocking furniture member having an electrically powered actuation mechanism includes a frame and an actuation mechanism connected to the frame. The actuation mechanism includes an extendable and retractable leg rest assembly. A drive assembly connected to the actuation mechanism having an electric motor operates to move the leg rest assembly between a retracted position and any of a plurality of extended positions inclusive including a fully extended position by a command provided by an occupant of the furniture member. A rotation member connecting the actuation mechanism to the frame permits an occupant induced rocking motion of the actuation mechanism with respect to the frame at least when the leg rest assembly is in the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2010Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: La-Z-Boy IncorporatedInventors: Larry P. LaPointe, Chad E. Adams, Eric B. Harwood, Richard E. Marshall, Michael R. Mero, Jr.

Patent number: 8366188Abstract: A release system for a furniture member leg rest assembly extended from an actuation mechanism includes an actuation mechanism, the actuation mechanism having a leg rest assembly movable between a fully retracted and a plurality of extended positions inclusive, including a fully extended position. A pantograph link of the leg rest assembly is rotatably connected to the actuation mechanism. An extension link is rotatably connected to the actuation mechanism and moves in extension and retraction directions. A member is in contact with the extension link and in releasable contact with the pantograph link. The member is in contact with the pantograph link when the member is operating to push the pantograph link outward toward the fully extended position. The member is spatially separable from the pantograph link when an object is contacted by the leg rest assembly during return from any of the extended positions toward the fully retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: La-Z-Boy IncorporatedInventors: Chad E. Adams, Larry P. LaPointe, Eric B. Harwood, Richard E. Marshall, Michael R. Mero, Jr.

Publication number: 20120060774Abstract: A preheating device for combustion air in a boiler. First heat exchanger structures fitted in a flue gas duct heat primary air. A first air supply area in the wall of the flue gas duct supplies air to be heated to the first heat exchanger structures. Second heat exchanger structures fitted in a flue gas duct heat secondary air. A second air supply area in the wall of the flue gas duct supplies air to be heated to the second heat exchanger structures. The first air supply area is opposite the second air supply area. Also a power plant.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2010Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: Metso Power OyInventor: Timo Mero
