Chair Base Assembly

A leg assembly for use in association with a chair base assembly comprising:

• a central hub with a plurality of legs extending axially outwardly therefrom, the legs having a proximal end coupled to the central hub and a distal end spaced axially outwardly therefrom, the central hub defining a cylindrical wall having an upper end and a lower end, being inwardly tapered between the upper end and the lower end such that a cross-sectional configuration at the upper end is larger than a cross-sectional configuration of a portion of the cylindrical wall between the upper end and the lower end, the cylindrical wall having an inner surface with a channel positioned between the upper end and the lower end, with an insert member positioned within the channel, the insert member comprising a wound member configured to extend about the inner surface of the cylindrical wall at least a radial distance that is greater than half of the circumference of the inner wall, the insert member being outwardly deformable.

A seat support for use in association with a chair base assembly comprising:

• a body having a central bore defining an inner wall with a proximate end and a distal end, a channel is positioned within the inner wall between the proximal and distal end;
• and
• a seat support insert member comprising a wound member configured to extend about the inner surface of the central bore at least a radial distance that is greater than half of the circumference of the inner surface, the seat support insert member being outwardly deformable.
