Abstract (en)
A pair of generally mirror-image linkage mechanisms (100; 1000) is adapted to move a seating unit (10) between a closed, an extended, and a reclined position. Each of the linkage mechanisms (1000) comprises a sequence link (550) having a guide slot (551) including a first region (555) and a second region (556), and a sequence element (526) that extends into the guide slot (551). The sequence element (526) resides within the second region (556) when the seating unit (10) is adjusted to the reclined position or to the closed position, and the interaction of the sequence element (526) and the sequence link (550) resists adjustment of the seating unit (10) to the closed position and to the reclined position, respectively. The sequence element (526) resides within the first region (555) when the seating unit (10) is adjusted to the extended position, and the interaction of the sequence element (526) and the sequence link (550) allows adjustment of the seating unit (10) to either the reclined position or to the closed position.
