ABSTRACT:
A sleeve structure of an office chair fitted around a pneumatic bar. The sleeve structure includes a sleeve body and a steel circular tube. The sleeve body is a plastic hollow flexible member, having a sleeve hole and two annular stoppers at two ends. Multiple (preferably 8 to 12) equally spaced axial ribs are arranged on the outer surface of the sleeve body and three equally spaced axial slits are formed on the sleeve body. Two polygonal (preferably hexagonal, heptagonal or octagonal) plastic fitting members are fitted in two ends of the steel circular tube to form an assembly. Each fitting member has an annular stopper at an end thereof. The assembly of the steel circular tube and the fitting members is forcedly fitted into the sleeve hole of the sleeve body by a machine and locked by the stoppers of the sleeve body. In turn the pneumatic bar is fitted into the steel circular tube with the angles of the fitting members tightly contacting with the pneumatic bar nearly without clearance existing therebetween. Then the sleeve body is fitted into a bar seat tube to form a support stem of the office chair. When the pneumatic bar suffers a load or a torque by different inclined angles, the office chair is always stably and safely supported by the support stem without swinging to keep a user comfortable.
