Abstract: The locking device is for a rocking chair. It has a stationary lower frame and an upper frame rockingly connected thereto, including a notched member fixed to the lower frame, and a lever assembly mounted to the upper frame, and including a lever arm pivoting about a support in response to a user sitting on the seat area, a spring urging a second end of the lever arm to engage with the notched member to lock the device when the user disengages the seat area, the second end disengaging when the user sits up. In a variant, the locking device includes a friction band mounted to the lower frame and a cam rotatably mounted to the upper frame, the cam being rotatable by a handle to thus engage the friction band and lock the upper to the lower frame.

Abstract: A collapsible footrest assembly for a gliding ottoman with a top structure gliding upon a base. A pair of parallel, elongated slides are movably mounted under the top structure between upper and lower positions with respect to the top structure. A footrest is slidably and pivotally mounted between the slides for sliding operation between a slide-in position wherein the footrest extends and is supported between the slides and a slide-out position wherein the footrest is drawn out and pivoted down in front of the slides. The slide arrangement is detachably hooked under the top structure in the upper position, and is detachably locked with the base when it is in the lower position to prevent the ottoman from gliding when the footrest is in use.

Abstract: A locking assembly for a glider rocker having a gliding chair seat mounted on a stationary base. A latch bar is adapted to extend horizontally and transversely with respect to a gliding direction of the chair seat. A mounting assembly is provided for attaching the latch bar to the chair seat, the mounting assembly being operable for selectively lifting and lowering the latch bar with respect to the chair seat. A bracket affixable to the base, has an upper end provided with a downwardly extending catch slot into which the latch bar slideably fits when the latch bar is aligned therewith and lowered by operation of the mounting assembly.
