Abstract:
A furniture member includes a base frame, a seat assembly, a motor assembly, a legrest mechanism and a wall-proximity mechanism. The seat assembly is supported by the base frame and includes a seat frame, a seat bottom, a seat back and a legrest. The legrest is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The seat back is movable between an upright position and a reclined position. The motor assembly includes a draw bar that moves along a motor extrusion housing from an initial position to a first position and to a second position. The legrest mechanism is driven by the draw bar to move the legrest between the retracted and extended positions. The wall-proximity mechanism is driven by the draw bar to translate the seat frame forward relative to the base frame in response to movement of the draw bar from the first position to the second position.

Claim (Index 7):
A furniture member comprising:\n a base frame for supporting the furniture member on a support surface; a seat assembly supported by the base frame, the seat assembly including a legrest and a seat frame; a motor assembly mounted to the base frame, the motor assembly including a draw bar that moves along a motor extrusion housing from an initial position to a first position and to a second position; a legrest mechanism connected to the legrest and the draw bar, the legrest mechanism configured to move the legrest relative to the seat frame from a retracted position to an extended position when the draw bar moves from the initial position to the second position; a wall-proximity mechanism connected to the base frame, the seat assembly and the draw bar, the wall-proximity mechanism configured to translate the seat assembly forward relative to the base frame when the draw bar moves from the first position to the second position; and a sequencing mechanism comprising a front rod and a spring, the spring connected between the front rod and the draw bar, the front rod connected to the seat frame, wherein the sequencing mechanism is configured to apply a force to the draw bar toward the front rod to cause movement of the draw bar to result in the legrest mechanism moving the legrest from the retracted position to the extended position before movement of the draw bar results in the wall-proximity mechanism translating the seat assembly forward relative to the base frame.
