A drive mechanism (7) for an article of adjustable furniture (10), the drive mechanism (7) comprising:
- a plurality of support sections, said support sections including a first support section (12) and a second support section (14), an actuator mechanism (16), and at least one connecting mechanism (18), the at least one connecting mechanism (18) includes a first arm (20) pivotally connected to the first support section (12), and a second arm (22) pivotally connected to the second support section (14), the first arm (20) being pivotally connected to the second arm (22), wherein the actuator mechanism (16) is drivingly connected to the second support section (14) to effect a concertina-like movement between the first arm (20) and the second arm (22) to move the second support section (14) relative to the first support section (12).
An article of furniture ((10,110,210,310) comprising:
- a drive mechanism (7,107,207,307) and a second mechanism (250,350) to provide the furniture with a second functionality, wherein the second mechanism is at least one of a zero-wall mechanism, a glider mechanism (350), a rocker mechanism, and a lift-chair mechanism (250) to provide the article of furniture with the second functionality.
