Chair

A chair comprising:

• a housing;
• a seat pivotally mounted to said housing, said seat pivotable to a plurality of tilt positions;
• a tilt limiter engaged between said seat and said housing, said tilt limiter limiting a rearward tilting of the seat relative to the housing, said tilt limiter moveable between a plurality of settings, wherein a maximum rearward tilt position of said seat is determined by the setting of the tilt limiter, wherein said seat has a plurality of maximum rearward tilt positions corresponding to said plurality of settings for said tilt limiter;
• and
• means for indicating the setting of the tilt limiter and the corresponding maximum rearward tilt position of the seat even when said tilt position of said seat is other than the maximum rearward tilt position of the seat.

A method for selecting the rearward tilt position of a chair comprising a housing, a seat pivotally mounted to said housing, a tilt limiter selectively engaged between said seat and said housing, wherein said tilt limiter limits the rearward tilting of the seat relative to the housing, the method comprising:

• moving a selector member connected to said tilt limiter between a plurality of settings and thereby moving said tilt limiter between a plurality of settings, wherein a maximum rearward tilt position of said seat is determined by the setting of the tilt limiter, said seat having a plurality of maximum rearward tilt positions corresponding to said plurality of settings for said tilt limiter, and said selector member comprising indicia for indicating the setting of the tilt limiter;
• pivoting said seat to a plurality of tilt positions including a maximum rearward tilt position;
• engaging said seat with said tilt limiter when said seat is pivoted to said maximum rearward tilt position;
• and
• indicating the maximum rearward tilt position of the seat corresponding to the indicated setting of the tilt limiter with said indicia even when said tilt position of said seat is other than the maximum rearward tilt position of the seat.

A chair comprising:

• a base;
• a backrest pivotally mounted to said base;
• a seat pivotally mounted to said base and connected to said backrest, wherein said seat and said backrest are pivotable to a plurality of tilt positions;
• a tilt limiter mounted to said base, wherein said tilt limiter limits a rearward tilting of the seat and backrest, said tilt limiter moveable between a plurality of settings, wherein a maximum rearward tilt position of said seat and backrest is determined by the setting of the tilt limiter, said seat and backrest having a plurality of maximum rearward tilt positions corresponding to said plurality of settings for said tilt limiter;
• and
• a selector member connected to said tilt limiter, said selector member comprising indicia for indicating the setting of the tilt limiter, wherein said selector member with said indicia indicates the maximum rearward tilt position of the seat and backrest corresponding to the indicated setting of the tilt limiter even when said tilt position of said seat and backrest is other than the maximum rearward tilt position of the seat and backrest.
