ABSTRACT:
A chair capable of rocking and reclining is provided with a contoured seat with internal cross members and an external frame assembly for maintaining the contoured seat above the ground. The external frame assembly has a pair of spaced apart side members with a continuous outer periphery. Each of the side frame members has a large ground-contacting arcuate region that extends forward and an arm-support region that forms an armrest. The side members are coupled together by cross members and spacer elements that extend between the two. The contoured seat fits between the side members and following the lines of the cross member connection region of the side frame members. The side frame members are fixed and fastened to the spacer elements and cross members at a number of points along the frame. A user is comfortably positioned in the chair by head, back, and seat support areas of the contoured seat. The contoured seat and curvature of the arcuate regions have a relationship such that the axis of curvature of the arcuate ground-contacting region is slightly rearward of the center of gravity of an occupied chair, thereby allowing the user to comfortably change the position of the chair over a wide range of positions.
