Abstract
A reclinable chair having a back and seat articulated for reclining movement of the back with respect to the seat, in which a plate having opposed faces disposed at an angle with respect to each other joins together the back and the seat. One of the plate faces is joined to the back, while the other of the plate faces is joined to the seat. A restoring force is exerted by the plate tending to restore the plate faces to the angle therebetween when they are forced away from that angle. The plate is preferably U-shaped, substantially encased in resilient material also U-shaped, with a flap of resilient material extending parallel to and between the legs of the plate.
