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 1):
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 and including a seat base, a seat bottom, and a seatback, wherein the seat base supports the seat bottom and the seatback; a wall-proximity mechanism connected to the base frame and the seat assembly, the wall-proximity mechanism configured to translate the seat assembly forward relative to the base frame from a first position to a second position; and a stability linkage connected to the wall-proximity mechanism, the stability linkage including a leg, the leg moving forward of the base frame and toward the support surface when the wall-proximity mechanism translates the seat assembly forward to the second position to prevent the furniture member from tipping forward, wherein when the seat assembly is in the second position, at least a portion of the leg is disposed forward of the base frame and between the support surface and a front, lower edge of the seat base so that the leg restricts the base frame from tipping forward relative to the support surface, and wherein the leg of the stability linkage moves toward the support surface but remains spaced apart from the support surface when the wall-proximity mechanism translates the seat assembly forward.
