ABSTRACT:
The gliding seating unit of the present invention comprises: A base configured to reset upon an underlying surface; a seat overlying the base; a unitary front glide member, and unitary rear glide member. The front glide member is connected with the base and the seat and comprises an upper panel fixed to the base, a lower panel connected with the seat, and a gliding panel hingedly attached at an upper end to the upper panel and hingedly attached at a lower end to the lower panel. The rear glide member is connected with the base and the seat and comprises an upper panel fixed to the base, a lower panel connected with the seat, and a gliding panel hingedly attached at an upper end to the upper panel and hingedly attached at a lower end to the lower panel. The front and rear glide members are constructed and mounted such that the seat is suspended from the base and is free to glide along a longitudinal path responsive to a longitudinally-directed force, wherein the longitudinal path is defined by motion of the gliding panels of the front and rear glide members. Preferably, the front and rear glide members are formed of a polymeric material, such that the upper and lower panels of the front and rear glide members are connected to the glide panels via "living" hinges.
