  • Chair control mechanism
    Patent number: 6619740
    Abstract: A chair control mechanism is adapted to decrease a likelihood of the mechanism becoming unintentionally disengaged from a locked position. In particular, a control arm has locked position wherein a seat plate is restricted in movement relative to a main bracket and an unlocked position where the movement relative to said main bracket is allowed. A latch bar is biased against the control arm and the control arm is notched such that axial sliding of the control arm into said unlocked position is possible only after providing a force necessary to disengage said latch bar from said notch.
