ABSTRACT:
A device for adjusting the backrest of a chair to any of a plurality of locked positions comprising a continuous track formed in one member and a slot formed in a second member that is slidable relative to the first member. A locking pin follows along the track and traverses across the slot as the backrest is raised and lowered in the process of moving the backrest to its series of locked positions. The locking pin must circumnavigate the continuous track to complete the adjustment cycle and the person doing the adjustment has a feeling of control and confidence that the adjustment process is progressing properly throughout the adjustment cycle.
