Abstract:
A high-load recline mechanism may include a first pair of linkage mechanisms positioned proximate a right side of a base and may also include a second pair of linkage mechanisms positioned proximate the left side of the base. The first pair of linkage mechanisms may be coupled together such that they both move between a closed position and a fully reclined position in unison. The second pair of linkage mechanisms may also be coupled together such that they both move between a closed position and a fully reclined position in unison. A motor drive tube may be coupled to the each of the inside linkage mechanisms of each pair of mechanisms in order to drive all of the linkage mechanisms between the closed position and the fully reclined position in unison. A linear actuator may be coupled between the motor drive tube and the base to actuate the recline mechanism.

Claim (Index 5):
A pair of linkage mechanisms for a seating unit comprising:\n a first linkage mechanism configured to move between a closed position and a fully reclined position, the first linkage mechanism having a first base rail and a first pivot link pivotally connected to the first base rail, the first pivot link having a first flange extending from a forward edge of the first pivot link; a second linkage mechanism configured to move between the closed position and the fully reclined position, the second linkage mechanism having a second base rail and a second pivot link pivotally connected to the second base rail, the second pivot link having a second flange extending from a forward edge of the second pivot link; the first linkage mechanism offset from the second linkage mechanism such that the first linkage mechanism is proximate the second linkage mechanism; the first flange and the second flange being aligned with one another, the first flange extending towards the second linkage mechanism and the second flange extending towards the first linkage mechanism; and the first linkage mechanism coupled to the second linkage mechanism by the first flange and the second flange.
