Manual recliner mechanism YHT8013

Profile shape designed for safety and appearance without pinch points. Articulating design allows use of wider & higher mid-ottoman for elimination of entrapment areasand for leg support. Occupant's weight used to balance operation instead of springs. Therefore, the opening, closing, ottoman firmness, and back balance while reclining vary with the weight of the occupant Making the operation consistant from one person to the next. Springs are used for locking and the initial start of the opening. Occupant's weight opens chair, handle/lever only unlocks mechanism. Slight footrest pressure closes ottoman. Square drive tube connects to and controls both left & right sides. Ottoman is locked closed on both sides. Improved weight capacity and durability (250 pound occupant weight). Mechanism base width is closer to seat width while maintaining sufficent clearance between links to eliminate possibility of interference. Eliminates problems with flexing and breaking of tube end at bend. Flange is on heavy gauge link instead of the lighter gauge tube which can flex and break. Unique design of flattened tube end maximizes torsional strength unlike non-tubular cross members which have no significant torsional strength. All rivet joints have either acetal(Delrin) or Bronze bushings and acetal spacers to elminate any steel-to-steel contact. No metal-to-metal noises when links contact stop pins. All Recliners are interchangeable in the same frame if the frame is constructed for Rocker and Two-Motor Lift.
