More Information
Summary:A seating assembly includes a seating shell base having a forward end and a rearward end, and a back support member mounted at the rearward end of the seating shell base for substantially vertical movement with respect to the seating shell base. An inner seat tray is positioned within the seating shell base and mounted for forward and rearward sliding movement with respect to the seating shell base, the inner seat tray having opposed pivot points. A seat back is pivotally mounted at the pivot points, the seat back being connected to the back support member. Downward movement of the back support member vertically with respect to the seating shell base causes the seat back to pivot at the pivot points, thereby reclining the seat back, and thereby causing the inner seat tray to slide forward with respect to the seating shell base.
