Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3311701A1] The present invention concerns the field of electromechanical devices, particularly electromechanical lift mechanisms, designed to allow vertical movement of the backrest, also functioning as a headrest, of an upholstered item of furniture (such as a sofa or an armchair), which upholstered item of furniture also comprises a seat base, a reclining loin rest and an extendable footrest; more specifically, the present invention refers to a mechanism suitable to be installed in an upholstered item of furniture and designed to allow vertical movement of the backrest/headrest, wherein said backrest/headrest is not anchored or mechanically connected to the seat base and to the loin rest and wherein said backrest/headrest can be moved, by means of said mechanism, independently of the movement of said seat base or of said loin rest. In another independent aspect, the present invention relates to an upholstered item of furniture comprising a backrest/headrest, a seat base, a reclining loin rest and an extendable footrest and also incorporating an electromechanical lift mechanism for vertically moving said backrest/headrest independently of the movement of said seat base or of said loin rest.
