ABSTRACT:
An adjustable chair includes a base, a back and a chair control for pivotally connecting the back to the base for movement between a fully upright position and an inclined position. A cable actuated variable back stop mechanism includes a generally U-shaped bail or stop lever pivoted to the back. The bail is engageable with a stop on the chair base. A lock member is slideably mounted on the back. The lock member includes a front face defining a plurality of vertically spaced, generally parallel grooves. The grooves are dimensioned to receive the bail and hold the bail in one of a plurality of selected positions when the lock member is moved from an inoperative to an operative position. When in the operative position, the lock member prevents pivoting of the bail when it engages the stop on the base, hence, limiting tilting of the chair back.
