Claim 0:
1. A powered lift chair for assisting a person, seated within said lift chair, to be moved from a seated position to a standing position, comprising:
a chair base;
a chair frame mounted upon said chair base;
a pair of laterally spaced armrests, defining left and right armrests, mounted upon said chair frame such that upper surface portions of said left and right armrests are disposed within substantially horizontally oriented planes;
a backrest;
a footrest;
a seat movable with respect to said left and right armrests;
a pair of oppositely disposed seat assemblies, upon which said seat is fixedly secured, pivotally connected to said pair of laterally spaced armrests whereby said pair of oppositely disposed seat assemblies can pivot with respect to said pair of laterally spaced armrests;
a linear actuator operatively connected to said chair base and to said pair of oppositely disposed seat assemblies such that as said lift chair is moved from a lowered position to an elevated position by said linear actuator, said pair of oppositely disposed seat assemblies, and said seat fixedly secured thereon, can pivot and tilt with respect to said pair of laterally spaced armrests such that said seat is moved from a substantially horizontal position to a tilted position at which a forward end portion of said seat is at a lower elevation than a rearward end portion of said seat, while said upper surface portions of said left and right armrests remain fixed within said substantially horizontally oriented planes so as to serve as stable platforms and thereby enable the person to grasp said horizontally oriented upper surface portions of said left and right armrests such that said horizontally oriented upper surface portions of said left and right armrests can securely and stably assist the person to move from the seated position to the standing position while said lift chair transitions from said lowered position to said elevated position and said seat transitions from said substantially horizontal position to said tilted position.
