Seating arrangement

A seating arrangement, comprising:

• a seat portion configured to support a seated user thereon;
• a back portion extending upwardly from the seat portion and moveable between an upright position and a reclined position;
• a support member operably coupled to and supporting the seat portion, the support member caused to move between a first position when the back portion is in the upright position and a second position when the back portion is in the reclined position;
• and
• a back recline lock arrangement, comprising:
• an actuator configured to be actuated between an engaged position and a disengaged position;
• a lock member caused to move between a locked position when the actuator is in the engaged position where the lock member prevents the support member from moving from the first position toward the second position, and an unlocked position when the actuator is in the disengaged position where the support member is free to move from the first position to the second position;
• and
• wherein the actuator is configured to move from the engaged position to the disengaged position when the chair back is in the reclined position, and the lock member is prevented from moving from the locked position to the unlocked position until the back portion is moved rearward from the reclined position.

A seating arrangement, comprising:

• a front shell member including a seat portion configured to support a seated user thereon and a back portion extending upwardly from the seat portion and moveable between an upright position and a reclined position;
• a rear shell member including a substantially horizontal portion spaced from the seat portion, and a back portion extending upwardly from the first portion;
• a support member extending between the substantially horizontal portion of the rear shell member and the seat portion of the front shell member, the support member caused to move between a first position when the back portion is in an upright position and a second position when the back portion is in a reclined position;
• and
• a back recline lock arrangement, comprising:
• an actuator configured to be actuated between an engaged position and a disengaged position;
• and
• a lock member caused to move between a locked position when the actuator is in the engaged position where the lock member prevents the support member from moving from the first position toward the second position, and an unlocked position when the actuator is in the disengaged position, where the support member is free to move from the first position to the second position.
