ABSTRACT:
A chair is described which facilitates sitting and standing by the user, especially elderly or physically handicapped persons. The chair is of rigid construction having a two-plane rocker bottom providing a horizontal back plane on which the chair is disposed when the occupant is seated, and a front plane which is angled upwardly in the forward direction at an angle of from 10.degree. to 20.degree. from the rocker fulcrum point therebetween. Rear legs extend perpendicularly upward from the rearward ends of the back plane, and front legs extend substantially perpendicularly upward from the forward ends of the front plane. A seat which angles upwardly in the forward direction and a rearwardly angled backrest are attached between the front legs and rear legs, and counterweighting forward of the fulcrum balances and stabilizes the chair on either of its front or back rocker planes. Horizontal armrests extend forwardly to the front legs and above the forward end of the seat. Seat depth, seat height and the location of the rocker fulcrum are determined by, and preferably correspond to particular anthropometric dimensions of the intended user or users of the chair, as described.
