ABSTRACT:
A swivel rocker is provided that includes a surface designed to contact a floor so as to facilitate rocking in two directions along a line while limiting rocking in other directions and to inhibit excessive rocking in at least one direction along the line. The swivel rocker also includes a swivel portion such that a seat may be rotated relative to the two directions of facilitated rocking. The swivel portion allows a user to alter the directions of facilitated rocking relative to their orientation on the seat. The rocking surface inhibits excessive rocking in the at least one direction to help prevent the user from tipping over in the chair. Under some embodiments, the swivel rocker is formed of two rockers having a curved portion designed to contact the floor and an additional portion that inhibits excessive rocking. The additional portion extends from the curved portion in several embodiments.
