ABSTRACT:
A chair control mechanism having compressible lamellas which when compressed lock a chair back and/or seat in position and when decompressed allow adjustment of the chair seat and/or back, and housing a releasable lock to compress and decompress the lamellas. The lock includes a U-shaped slide member slidable on the same shaft as that on which the lamellas are mounted, and having its cross member pressed against the lamellas and its free ends projecting through slots in a housing side wall. A coil spring between the side wall and connecting member biases the slide member against the lamellas to compress them. A cam connected to the legs of the slide member outside the side wall is moveable to pull the slide member outwardly through the side wall to release the pressure on the lamellas.
