摘要： A head rest adjustment system for a furniture member includes a back support member rotatable with respect to a base member. A head rest assembly is connected to the back support member. An adjustment lever rotates the head rest assembly. An actuation link is connected at a first end to the head rest assembly and at a second end to the adjustment lever. Rotating the adjustment lever displaces the actuation link to rotate the head rest assembly to a plurality of support positions. A back support member axis of rotation is spatially separated from an adjustment lever axis of rotation. Rotating the back support member with respect to the base member can independently operate to displace the actuation link to rotate the head rest assembly without rotation of the adjustment lever.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A furniture member frame includes a plurality of commercial grade plywood frame members connected to create a frame sub-assembly. A plurality of interlocking joints are defined by male extending members of first ones of the frame members and receiving apertures of second ones of the frame members. The interlocking joints operate when the male extending members of selected ones of the first ones of the frame members are received in the receiving apertures of the second frame members to temporarily connect the frame members. An adhesive applied to at least the interlocking joints fixedly connects the frame members of the first frame sub-assembly.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a powered actuation mechanism for a reclining chair. The powered drive mechanism rotates a drive member which engages a follower member to extend the leg rest assembly. A biasing mechanism is coupled to the leg rest assembly to retract the leg rest assembly. In this manner, the leg rest assembly may not be fully retracted when an obstruction with the leg rest assembly is encountered.

摘要： A reclining chair is provided which includes a base and a support linkage assembly pivotally supported from the base. A longitudinal link is operably interconnected to the support linkage assembly. A recline linkage assembly is operably coupled to the longitudinal link and to the base for controlling movement of the longitudinal link from an upright position to at least one reclined position. An adjustable tensioning mechanism is operably coupled between the base and the support linkage to bias the chair towards a reclined position. The reclining chair further includes a leg rest assembly supported from the longitudinal link and operably coupled to the drive shaft for movement from a retracted position to an extended position in response to rotation of the drive shaft.

摘要： The present invention provides an adjustable frame member for a chair seat frame and a lockable alignment tool which is implemented between the chair seat frame and an attachable seat back. Initially, the chair seat frame is pre-assembled such that the adjustable frame member is in a non-rigid state, therefore allowing for side to side skewing motion of the chair seat frame. The lockable alignment tool is mounted onto the seat back, in its unlocked position. Once the lockable alignment tool is mounted to the seat back, it is locked such that its length is fixed. The lockable alignment tool is then removed from the seat back and mounted onto the seat frame. As the lockable alignment tool is mounted onto the seat frame, skewing motion of the seat frame is caused as the seat frame aligns with the lockable alignment tool. Once the lockable alignment tool has been fully mounted to the chair frame, screws are used to lock the adjustable frame member. As such, the adjustable frame member becomes a rigid structure. The lockable alignment tool is then removed and overall assembly may be completed with proper alignment between the chair seat frame and back ensured.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供了一种用于椅子座椅框架的可调节框架构件和实现在椅子座椅框架和可附接座椅靠背之间的可锁定对准工具。 最初，椅座框架被预先组装成使得可调节的框架构件处于非刚性状态，因此允许椅子座椅框架的侧向倾斜运动。 可锁定的对准工具安装在座椅靠背处于未锁定位置。 一旦将可锁定的对准工具安装到座椅靠背上，就将其锁定，使其长度固定。 然后将可锁定的对准工具从座椅靠背拆下并安装到座椅框架上。 当可锁定的对准工具安装在座椅框架上时，由于座椅框架与可锁定的对准工具对准而引起座椅框架的倾斜运动。 一旦可锁定的对准工具已经完全安装到椅子框架上，则使用螺钉来锁定可调节的框架构件。 因此，可调框架构件变为刚性结构。 然后移除可锁定的对准工具，并且可以在椅子座椅框架和靠背之间的适当对准的情况下完成整体组装。

摘要： An improved locking mechanism for detachably securing a seat back to a chair frame is disclosed. The improved locking mechanism includes a pair of side brackets secured to opposite sides of the seat back. Linkage supported from the chair frame are provided for receiving the slide brackets thereon for supporting the seat back on the chair frame in a predetermined orientation relative to the seat member. A moveable locking arm is supported from the slide brackets and includes an offset arcuate cam surface which is adapted to engage an arcuate notch formed on the linkage when the locking arm is moved to a locked position. The mating engagement of the arcuate offset cam surface within the arcuate notch generates a line-of-contact therebetween which inhibits relative movement between the slide brackets and the upstanding links for rigidly securing seat member to the chair frame. An alternative embodiment discloses a modified link member which is adapted to create an interference engagement with the slide bracket to augment the locking action of the arcuate cam surface within the arcuate notch.
