Abstract:

An actuating shaft assembly for use with recliner-type chairs including a footrest and a carriage assembly for moving the footrest between extended and retracted positions. The actuating shaft assembly includes a first shaft member coupled to the carriage assembly, a second shaft member telescopically coupled to the first shaft member for adjustment relative thereto to accomodate chairs having different side wall thicknesses, bolts or the like to fixedly attach the first and second shaft members to one another, and a handle attached to the outer end of the second shaft member for allowing the shaft members to be manually rotated to move the carriage assembly and footrest between the extended and retracted positions.
