Removal mechanism

Abstract

A chair component (200, 102) for a chair (100) is provided with a gas spring receiving hole (202) into which an end of a gas spring (104) of the chair (100) is insertable, and a removal mechanism (220) for removing the gas spring (104) from the chair component (200, 102). The removal mechanism (220) comprises a threaded bolt (222) arranged in a threaded hole (204) in the chair component (200, 102). The threaded hole (204) is arranged adjacent to the gas spring receiving hole (202). A longitudinal axis of the threaded hole (204) is essentially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the gas spring receiving hole (202). A screw drive (226) is provided at a first end of the threaded bolt (222) for turning the threaded bolt (222) in the threaded hole (204). An overlap element (228) is provided at a second end of the threaded bolt (222). The overlap element (228) extends in a radial direction beyond an outer circumference of the thread of the threaded bolt (222) to such an extent that the overlap element (228) at least partially overlaps the gas spring receiving hole (202).
