Claims13
In a chair:
- a plurality of elongated resilient rods which will return to a substantially straight condition if unrestrained, each of said rods being bent to a U-shaped configuration with upper and lower horizontally extending sections, retaining means for preventing the rods from straightening beyond the U-shaped configuration, and means mounted on the rods and resiliently supported thereby for receiving a person sitting on the chair.
In a chair:
- a plurality of elongated resilient rods which will return to a substantially straight condition if not restrained bent to a U-shaped configuration on opposite sides of the chair, each of said U-shaped rods having generally parallel upper and lower arms and a curved section between the arms, flexible cables connected between the ends of the rods and preventing the rods from straightening beyond the U-shaped configuration, a seat extending between the curved sections of the rods, a back rest extending between the upper arms of the rods, and means hingedly connecting the seat and the back rest together for pivotal movement relative to each other upon flexing of the rods.
