ABSTRACT:
A chair comprises a pedestal base and a support member (6) mounted on the base. A seat carrier (5) is connected at its forward end portion with the member (6) to be pivotable relative thereto about a first horizontal axis (7), which is fixed relative to both the member and the carrier. A backrest carrier (11) is similarly connected with the member (6) to be pivotable relative thereto about a second horizontal axis (17) and additionally with the seat carrier (5) at its rearward end portion to be pivotable relative thereto about a third axis (23), this axis being movable relative to the seat carrier (5). The carriers (5, 11) are pivotable together relative to the member (6) in the same rotational sense with the backrest carrier (11) traversing a greater pivot angle than the seat carrier (5). A spring unit (32) acts between the member (6) and the backrest carrier (11) to bias the backrest carrier in an upward and forward direction. The pivot axes are parallel to each other and are arranged in or closely adjacent to a single plane in all pivot positions of the carriers, with the result that, during pivotation relative to the member (6), the carriers (5, 11) describe almost congruent circular arcs at the third axis (23).
