Abstract: A tilt adjustment assembly for a motorized reclining chair having a base frame adapted for rest on a floor surface. A seat and a back articulated support linkage are interconnected together for displacement of a seat and back of a reclining chair. An intermediate frame is mounted on the base frame through spring attachments, whereby to impart a rocking motion to the chair. A pair of foot rest linkages interconnect each of two of the said seat articulated support linkages to a foot rest plate. The tilt adjustment assembly comprises a motor-operated actuating rod secured at a free end to a sliding member to guidingly displace that member along a straight axis in a fixed plane and to any desired position along the axis. A pivotal link arm is pivotally secured at one end of the sliding member. A transverse linkage securing rod is secured to a second end of the pivotal link arm and extends transversely thereto.
