US Patent:

40776638, Mar 7, 1978

Filed:

May 5, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/683480

Inventors:

Izchak Cycowicz - Brooklyn NY
Robert Joseph Caldwell - Bayonne NJ

Assignee:

Mohasco Corporation - Amsterdam NY

International Classification:

A47C 102

US Classification:

297 83

Abstract:

This chair comprises a chair body having arm rests and being fixed to tracks mounted for longitudinal movement on stationary tracks supported on a floor. Seat links, a leg rest and linkage mechanism connecting said seat links and leg rest to the body and to each other, permit the seat links, and leg rest to be moved from upright position to T. V. position, and then to fully reclined position, and back to T. V. position and upright position. Links are pivoted, connecting the stationary tracks and the movable tracks with said linkage mechanism, to move the body and its movable tracks, longitudinally forwardly relative to the stationary tracks as the seat links, backrest and leg rest move from upright to T. V. position, and to then move the body and its movable track, further forwardly longitudinally relative to the stationary track, as the seat links, backrest and leg rest move from T. V. position to fully reclined position.

Appl. No.:

5/888833

Inventors:

Kenneth S. Harrison - Ridgefield NJ
Robert J. Caldwell - Bloomfield NJ

Assignee:

Mohasco Corporation - Amsterdam NY

International Classification:

A47C 1035

US Classification:

297 85

Abstract:

A wall-proximity reclining chair has body support members pivotally mounted by means of front and rear carrier links directly to a fixed base. The movable armrest assembly does not supply any load from the body support members. Each rear carrier link is pivotally suspended from an elevated rear point of the fixed base above a lower rear arm crossrail, thereby providing clearance for the lower rear arm crossrail to pass under it and also allowing the front and rear carrier links to be widely spread apart in a fore-aft direction, thus providing exceptional stability and smoothness of operation.

Assignee:

Mohasco Corporation - Amsterdam NY

International Classification:

A47C 102

US Classification:

297 83

Abstract:

A wall clearing reclining chair has two extension links which transmit forces which are generated during reciprocating movement of an armrest assembly at the armrest-mounting members thereof directly to base drive pivot pins which are located forwardly and downwardly relative to the armrest-mounting members. The chair also has wheel-mounted movable tracks which are reinforced at the wheel mountings. Stops are provided for affirmatively arresting movement of the chair seat in its closed upright position. Caster wheel assemblies are mounted at the rear of the chair. Hardware for this chair is likewise disclosed.
