Abstract (en)

[origin: US2009146468A1] An improved reclining lounge chair is described, which comprises a footrest that is pivotally connected to a center seat member by a footrest attachment axle, and in which the footrest position is controlled by a footrest lift mechanism. While the lounge chair is its non-reclined upright position the footrest is oriented approximately vertical. In this approximately vertical orientation the footrest doesn't extend significantly forward of the center seat member, thus allowing an occupant easy access to the chair from the front. In its fully reclined position the footrest rotates into an approximately horizontal orientation, providing a comfortable reclined position.
