Abstract
A chair includes a movable part including a seat on which a user sits, a supporting part configured to support the movable part in such a way that the movable part can be moved to the right and to the left; and a restoration unit, which is a biasing member configured to bias the movable part toward the neutral position in the right and the left. The supporting part supports the movable part in such a way that the movable part descends as the movable part is away from the neutral position.
Claims17
A chair comprising:
- a movable part including a seat on which a user sits;
- a supporting part configured to support the movable part in such a way that it can be moved to the right and to the left, the supporting part comprising a rail that defines a trajectory of the movement of the movable part in the right and the left, the rail being inclined so as to descend toward an end part of the rail from a center of the rail in the longitudinal direction, the movable part movable along the rail of the supporting part;
- and
- a biasing member configured to bias the movable part toward a neutral position in the right and the left,
- wherein the supporting part supports the movable part in such a way that a center of the movable part descends as the movable part is away from the neutral position.
