ABSTRACT:
A rocking chair with rockers wherein each rocker has a fulcrum between a forward rocker section and a rearward rocker section for tilting the chair into a forward or a backward position, respectively. The chair seat and backrest are connected to the forward ends of the rockers via resilient arms which form acute angles to the rockers and whose upper, substantially horizontal parts support the rear section of the seat, which section is lower than the forward section of the seat. The backrest comprises a straight, fixed, horizontal body disposed at a height of less than 30 cm, preferably about 22 cm, above the lowest section of the seat, which corresponds to the height of the fifth lumbar vertebra of a person sitting in the chair. The vertical thickness of the backrest body is less than 11 cm, preferably 8 cm or less, and its forward surface is approximately vertical when the chair has been tipped into its backward position. In a preferred embodiment, the lower edge of the support body will thus lie 14-15 cm above the lower, rear section of the chair seat.
