A recliner

A recliner is an armchair that reclines when the occupant lowers the chair's back and raises its front. It has a backrest that can be tilted back, causing a footrest to extend from the front. It provides the occupant more comfort than most of the conventional chairs and is thus invariably used all the world over in all sort of luxury vehicles.

[Recliner[1]] is also the name of an Indie Rock band from San Francisco. The band's recent CD release "After the Fog" was released in January.

History

1928 — cousins Edward Knabusch and Edwin Shoemaker created the first recliner in Monroe, Michigan. They started the "Floral City Furniture Company".
1931 — Knabusch and Shoemaker received a patent for the first automatic recliner. The Floral City Furniture Company was renamed as the now famous "La-Z-Boy".

The "La-Z-Boy" name came about as the result of an employee contest designed to pick a new name for the company.
