A remotely controlled powered chair may include a support frame, a seat pivotally mounted on the support frame, an rotary actuator mounted between the support frame and the seat to drive the seat to move relative to the support frame, a backrest pivotally mounted on the seat, and a linear actuator mounted between the seat and the backrest to drive the backrest to move relative to the seat. Thus, the rotary actuator may be controlled by an electrically control device to drive the seat to pivot relative to the support frame reciprocally in a pendulum manner so that the seat is pivoted relative to the support frame automatically. In addition, the linear actuator may be controlled by the electrically control device to adjust the inclined angle of the backrest so as to provide a comfortable sensation to the user. A remotely controlled powered chair may include a base assembly. A chair frame is supported on the base assembly. An actuator mechanism may communicate with the base assembly and the chair frame, and is operable to actuate the chair frame between first and second positions.

A rocker recliner is disclosed that has a pair of stationary arms; a seat disposed between the arms; an ottoman; a back coupled to the seat. A full-recline linkage mechanism couples the ottoman, the seat and the back and is operable to move the ottoman, the seat and the back between a closed position, a TV position and a fully reclined position. A rocker assembly is coupled between the full-recline linkage mechanism and the stationary arms that allows the seat, back and ottoman to rock between the stationary arms in any of the closed position, the TV position or the fully reclined position.

A motorized positioning apparatus for a seating unit includes a motor assembly that is configured to move a pair of linkage mechanisms though a series of positions that arrange the seating unit in a closed position, open position, or extended position. The motor assembly is selectively and releasably coupled to the linkage mechanisms, to allow the motor assembly to be de-coupled from the linkage mechanisms to allow the seating unit to be manually closed by a user.

A chair backrest mechanism, a chair frame and a chair are provided, including a back supporting member, a hip and leg supporting member, a swing traction unit, a linkage member and an auxiliary traction member. The hip and leg supporting member includes a leg supporting portion and a hip supporting portion. The back supporting member is movably connected to the hip and leg supporting member by the swing traction unit. The auxiliary traction member is pivotally connected to the swing traction unit and includes a first pin joint portion and a second pin joint portion, the first pin joint portion is pivotally connected to the hip supporting portion, the second pin joint portion is pivotally connected to a first end of the linkage member, and a second end of the linkage member away from the second pin joint portion is pivotally connected to the back supporting member.

A seating unit includes: a frame configured to rest on an underlying surface comprising a pair of opposed aims, a seat fixed relative to the arms, and a backrest fixed relative to the arms; a footrest: and a footrest mechanism attached to the footrest and the arms. The footrest mechanism comprises a plurality of pivotally interconnected links configured to move the footrest between a retracted position, in which the footrest is positioned beneath the seat and defines an angle of between about 20 and 40 degrees with the underlying surface, and an extended position, in which the footrest is positioned in front of the seat and is generally horizontally disposed and generally inverted from its disposition in the retracted position.
