A first actuating device is mounted to the chair back, where a protracting end of the first actuating device is connected to the seat chassis. The armchair further comprises a second actuating device mounted to the support chassis, a footrest connected to a protracting end of the second actuating device, a third actuating device attached to the seat chassis, and a seating structure connected to a protracting end of the third actuating device and mounted above the seat chassis, wherein the seating structure includes an operative position projecting upwards and forwards by the third actuating device at a tilting angle from the seat chassis. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An armchair comprising: a seat chassis supported on a support chassis by a pair of support columns; a chair back structure pivotally attached to a rear end of the seat chassis and to the support chassis; a leg support structure pivotally attached to a front end of the seat chassis and connected to a beam, wherein the beam is attached to the chair back structure; a first actuating device mounted to the chair back, a protracting end of the first actuating device is connected to the seat chassis; a second actuating device mounted to the support chassis; a footrest connected to a protracting end of the second actuating device; a third actuating device attached to the seat chassis; and a seating structure connected to a protracting end of the third actuating device and mounted above the seat chassis, wherein the seating structure includes an operative position projecting upwards and forwards by the third actuating device at a tilting angle from the seat chassis. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The armchair of claim 1 further including a reclining position that reclines the seat chassis, reclines the chair back structure, and raises the leg support structure. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The armchair of claim 2, wherein the second actuating device extends the footrest from a recessed location under the seat chassis. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The armchair of claim 3, wherein the footrest further locks in place at a specific position to secure a user in the armchair. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The armchair of claim 1, further comprising a slider attached to the chair back structure. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The armchair of claim 1, wherein the first actuating device, the second actuating device, and the third actuating device each include at least one of hydraulics, pneumatic lifts and electric linear actuators. ### Claim 7 An armchair comprising: a seat chassis; a chair back structure attached to a rear end of the seat chassis; a leg support structure pivotally attached to a front end of the seat chassis; and a seating structure connected to a first actuating device and mounted above the seat chassis; and a control device that controls the first actuating device in lifting a rear of the seating structure higher than a front of the seating structure at a tilting angle away from the seat chassis independent of the chair back structure and the leg support structure, wherein the control device further controls at least a second actuating device that reclines the seat chassis, reclines the chair back structure, and raises the leg support structure. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The armchair of claim 7 further comprising a footrest connected to the leg support structure. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The armchair of claim 7, further comprising a slider attached to the chair back structure. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The armchair of claim 7, wherein the control device further controls at least a second actuating device that extends the footrest from a recessed location under the seat chassis. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The armchair of claim 10, wherein the footrest further locks in place at a specific position to secure a user in the armchair. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The armchair of claim 7 wherein the control device further transmits a recline command to at least the second actuating device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The armchair of claim 12 wherein the recline command comprises a signal to raise the leg support structure. ### Claim 14 An armchair comprising: a seat chassis; a chair back structure attached to a support chassis and a rear end of the seat chassis; a leg support structure pivotally attached to a front end of the seat chassis; a seating structure connected to a first actuating device and mounted above the seat chassis; a second actuating device mounted to the support chassis; a third actuating device attached to the seat chassis; and a control device that controls the first actuating device in lifting a rear of the seating structure higher than a front of the seating structure at a tilting angle away from the seat chassis independent of the chair back structure and the leg support structure, wherein the first actuating device, the second actuating device, and the third actuating device each include at least one of hydraulics, pneumatic lifts and electric linear actuators. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The armchair of claim 14 further comprising a footrest connected to the leg support structure. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The armchair of claim 14, further comprising a slider attached to the chair back structure. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The armchair of claim 14, wherein the control device further controls the second actuating device that extends the footrest from a recessed location under the seat chassis. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The armchair of claim 17, wherein the footrest further locks in place at a specific position to secure a user in the armchair. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The armchair of claim 14 wherein the control device further transmits a recline command to at least the second actuating device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The armchair of claim 19 wherein the recline command comprises a signal to raise the leg support structure.
