ABSTRACT:
An adjustable rocker spring apparatus for adjustably positioning a rocker block of a rocking chair relative to a stationary base of the chair. The apparatus generally comprises an L-shaped upper bracket and an L-shaped lower bracket each having forward, central and rearward portions. Each such forward, central and rearward portion include a plurality of apertures therein. A pair of independent coil springs are disposed between portions of the upper and lower brackets and secured thereto by tabs. The independent coil springs are alignably maintained and positioned by slot openings in lip portions of each of the L-shaped upper and lower brackets. The plurality of independent apertures in each of the forward, central and rearward portions of the upper and lower brackets enable the apparatus to be adjustably secured with conventional fasteners to a rocker block and stationary base of a rocking chair. Precise adjustment and proper balance of the rocking chair can thereby be obtained when using rocker blocks and/or stationary bases of differing configurations, or when using uniform rocker blocks and stationary bases of chairs having differing padding, upholstery, or option features, without a need for modifying the apparatus or the rocker block or stationary base of the rocking chair.
