A chair comprising:
- a resilient seat panel mounted on top of a support,
- a back-rest located at a rear portion of the seat panel, the seat panel being made from thin, pliant panel material, the material being guided down around a front edge of the seat panel in a U-shape and being rigidly attached to the support, and
- at least one guide bar having one end pivotably mounted at the support so that the guide bar can pivot about a fixed stationary axis located at the support, said guide bar being directed backwards from the support and having a second end rigidly attached with an underside of the seat panel in the rear portion thereof, said guide bar causing said seat panel to flex into a desired shape when a user sits on the chair.
A chair, comprising:
- a support extending generally in a vertical direction;
- a seat having a front portion and a rear portion, and being resiliently mounted on said support, said seat being composed of a thin, pliant material, and having:
- a lower, essentially horizontal panel rigidly attached to said support, and;
- an upper, essentially horizontal panel located above said support and being contiguously connected to said lower panel along the front portion of said seat to form a U-shape;
- and
- at least one guide bar having a first end pivotably connected to said support so that the guide bar can pivot about a fixed stationary axis located at the support, and a second end rigidly connected to an underside of said upper panel in the rear portion of said seat, said guide bar causing said seat to flex into a desired shape when a user sits on the chair.
