Abstract:
Described is recline mechanism for a comfort seating assembly such as a theater seat which can be mounted on a sloped surface. In a fully recline position, the seating assembly is compact with a layout that falls generally within its profile. The recline mechanism includes a pair of each of: seat rail brackets, front pivot links, rear pivot upper lift link to control the motion of the rear end of the assembly, rear pivot links each attached to one rear pivot upper lift link, carrier links, each carrier link attached to one front pivot link and to a rear pivot link and a pair of rear pivot upper lift control links, attached to a pivot upper lift link and to a carrier link. A linear actuator attached by motor drive tubes at two ends of the linkage system transitions the recline mechanism between the closed and recline positions.

Claim (Index 1):
A recline mechanism for a seating assembly comprising:\n a pair of seat rail brackets; a pair of front pivot links, wherein each of the pair of front pivot links is attached to one of the pair of seat rail brackets; a pair of rear pivot links; a linear actuator; a front motor drive tube; and a rear motor drive tube, wherein the front motor drive tube is attached to each of the pair of front pivot links and the rear motor drive tube is attached to the pair of rear pivot links, and wherein the linear actuator is attached to the front motor drive tube by a pair of front actuator attachment points and to the rear motor drive tube by a pair of rear actuator attachment points such that the linear actuator is configured to move at both ends.
