A motorized tilting mechanism for a reclining chair allows the chair be placed in a zero gravity position. A base frame comprising 2 sub-frames pivot in relation to each other to provide simple tilting mechanism.
Claims5
A tilting mechanism for a chair, comprising:
- a first sub-frame rigidly connected to a seat of the chair and in contact with the ground at a rear of the chair, and also connected to a back and a footrest of the chair;
- a second sub-frame in contact with the ground at a front of the chair and pivotally connected to the first sub-frame;
- a motor to pivotally rotate the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame with respect to each other, wherein pivotal rotation of the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame with respect to each other effects a tilting of the back, seat and footrest of the chair and puts the chair in a zero gravity position;
- wherein the back, seat, and footrest are mounted to the first sub-frame with the seat essentially in parallel with the first sub-frame and so that the seat and the first sub-frame move in unison to achieve a tilting position.
