Abstract

A furniture item includes a support member and a rotatably pinned mechanism operable in rocking and reclining motions. The mechanism includes first and second side plates; a first pair of forward link members each rotatably connected to one of the side plates; a pantograph linkage set connected to the first pair of forward link members to extend and retract a footrest assembly in the reclining motion; and a drive rod rotatable between the side plates. Rotating the drive rod extends or retracts the pantograph linkage set. An escutcheon connected to the drive rod has a snap-engaged handle to manually rotate the drive rod. At least one U-shaped spring connected between the support member and the mechanism allows rocking motion. A seat pan has flat body springs extending over a seat pan aperture to support an occupant. A detent at one end of each flat spring engages the seat pan.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Patent Application Serial No. 11 / 483,700, filed October 7, 2006, which claims the benefit of US Provisional Application Serial No. 60 / 792,367, filed April 14, 2006. The disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to furniture component operating mechanisms, and to apparatus and methods for operating reclining furniture component assemblies. Background technique [0004] The descriptions in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art. [0005] Typically, reclining furniture (ie, chairs, sofas, loveseats, etc.) requires a mechanism for biasing the footrest assembly in the deployed and stowed positions. Known mechanisms often include a large number of moving parts that add to the manufacturing time and expense associated with t...
