Abstract
An ergonomic chair comprising a frame having outer and inner peripheries and an upper surface. A mesh supporting surface is supported on the outer periphery of the frame. The mesh supporting surface deflects to at least a first predetermined angle when a person is sitting on the chair. The inner periphery of the frame is located below the angle of deflection of the mesh so that the mesh does not engage the inner periphery when it supports a person sits on the chair.

An ergonomic chair comprising:
- a frame, said frame comprising outer and inner peripheries defining a central opening, and an upper surface,
- a mesh supporting surface for supporting a portion of a body of a person, said mesh supporting surface being supported on said outer periphery of said frame, said mesh supporting surface being comprised of a yieldable resilient material said material is deflectable to at least a first pre-determined angle in the direction of said inner periphery of said frame when supporting a portion of the body of a person, and
- said inner periphery of said frame is disposed below the angle of deflection of said mesh so that said mesh does not engage said inner periphery when it supports a portion of the body of a person.
A chair part for ergonomically supporting a portion of a body comprising
- a frame, said frame having a plurality of peripheral walls that define a central opening,
- a mesh supporting surface for supporting said portion of said body, said mesh supporting surface being supported by said peripheral walls,
- said mesh supporting surface being operable to deflect at a first angle when supporting a body portion,
- said peripheral walls having an upper surface, said upper surface being disposed at a second angle which is in the same direction as said first angle, and
- said first angle is less than said second angle.
