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 13):
A reclining linkage assembly for a seating unit comprising:\n a base having a forward portion, a rearward portion, a first side portion and a second side portion; a first linkage mechanism coupled to the base proximate the first side portion and having a first reciprocal link; a second linkage mechanism coupled to the base proximate the first side portion and offset from, but proximate to, the first linkage mechanism towards the second side portion, the second linkage mechanism having a second reciprocal link that corresponds to the first reciprocal link, the first linkage mechanism connected to the second linkage mechanism through the first reciprocal link and the second reciprocal link; a third linkage mechanism coupled to the base proximate the second side portion, having a third reciprocal link; a fourth linkage mechanism coupled to the base proximate the second side portion and offset from, but proximate to, the third linkage mechanism towards the first side portion, the fourth linkage mechanism having a fourth reciprocal link that corresponds to the third reciprocal link, the third linkage mechanism connected to the fourth linkage mechanism through the third reciprocal link and the fourth reciprocal link; a motor tube having a first end opposite a second end, the motor tube spanning between the second linkage mechanism and the fourth linkage mechanism; and a motor assembly connected to the base and the motor tube and configured for moving each of said linkage mechanisms between a closed position and a fully reclined position.
