Electrically Controlled Recliner with Independent Rocker-Limiting Mechanism

A recliner comprising:

• (a) a base;
• (b) a chassis supported via a rocker mechanism on said base so as to allow rocking of said chassis relative to said base from a neutral position alternately towards a forward-tipped position and a rearward-tipped position;
• (c) a seat, a backrest and a leg rest supported relative to said chassis;
• (d) an electrically controlled recliner mechanism including a first electrical actuator deployed for displacing said backrest between an upright position and a reclining position relative to said chassis;
• (e) an electrically controlled leg rest mechanism including a second electrical actuator deployed for displacing said leg rest between a folded position and an extended position;
• and
• (f) an electrically controlled rocker-limiting mechanism including a third electrical actuator, said rocker-limiting mechanism being deployed such that progressive actuation of said rocker-limiting mechanism deploys from a neutral state in which said chassis is free to rock from said forward-tipped position to said rearward-tipped position through an intermediate state in which said chassis is free to rock within a limited range from said rearward-tipped position towards said neutral position to a final state in which said chassis is forced into a rearward-tipped position.
