ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is knee tilt chair control mechanism for a pedestal base chair having a chair control housing mounted on the pedestal chair base and pivotally supporting a chair seat support member having a cam surface formed along a portion of the bottom surface thereof. A torsion spring is secured to the chair control housing and is adapted to resist the pivotal movement of the chair seat support member. The torsion spring has a lever arm adapted to move along the cam surface during the pivotal movement of the chair seat support member and thereby make a more effective use of the torsion spring and a chair more comfortable to the user.
