Abstract
Optimal body weight distribution and excellent sacro-lumbar support are provided by a chair which changes configuration automatically to support the body in any sitting posture. The chair seat is mounted on a pair of laterally spaced-apart, elongated, substantially parallel seat supports disposed lengthwise of the chair, and the seat has sleeves that are received telescopically on the seat supports for sliding movement such that the seat slides forward and backward, relative to the chair back. The back tilts independently of the seat to conform to the sitting posture of a person sitting in the chair. The chair has arms that are shaped and dimensioned to interlock adjacent chairs for ganging.
Claims8
A chair adapted to be ganged in coupled relation side by side with similar chairs comprising a seat, a back and a pair of armrests, each armrest being supported in cantilevered relation at one end from an armrest support in outwardly offset relation to the armrest support, the two armrests being at substantially the same vertical elevation and said one end of one of the armrests being located forward of said one end of the other armrest such that when two such chairs are ganged, adjacent armrests of the ganged chairs interlock laterally with said one ends abutting back to front and the armrests engaging inside to inside.
