Patent attributes
A legrest mechanism for a furniture member may include a pantograph linkage movable between a retracted position and an extended position and a secondary linkage connected the pantograph linkage and supporting a legrest platform. The secondary linkage is rotatable relative to the pantograph linkage in response to movement of the pantograph linkage between the extended and retracted positions. The pantograph linkage may include support links, a swing link and a cross link. The swing link may be rotatably coupled to the support links. In the extended position, the secondary linkage provides additional extension for the legrest mechanism to increase a height of the legrest platform relative to a ground surface and to increase a distance between the legrest platform and a frame of the furniture member.
