ABSTRACT:
A chair has a control mechanism configured to limit the angle of tilt of the chair back rest relative to the seat. The control mechanism includes a bracket member configured to be supported on a vertical column of a chair base. A rotational member attachable to the chair back rest is supported for rotation on an end of the bracket member. A generally elongated stop member is secured to the tubular member at a position extending inwardly of the end of the bracket member. A slide member extends along the longitudinal axis of the bracket member and has one end provided with at least one downwardly directed inclined edge. The stop member has a free distal end configured to engage the inclined edge and limit rotation of the tubular member. By this arrangement, the chair user can adjust the degree of rearward tilt of the back rest by selected movement of the slide member longitudinally of the bracket member.
