Re-clin′ing-chair.

One whose back admits of [1901] being tilted, allowing the occupant to assume an inclined or recumbent posture. In the figure, the back is hinged near the seat, and a given inclination is maintained by the engagement of notches beneath the arms, with spring teeth on the front posts. A slide in front forms a foot-rest. Spring cords erect the back. See folding-chair; invalid-chair; car-seat.
