Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for inclining a chair seat and a chair having an inclinable seat for which maintenance can be easily carried out from outside the attaching frame of a chair, wherein the attaching frame is applicable to leg portions of various kinds of chairs. According to the method and the chair for inclining a backrest side of a seat by causing the backrest to be inclined rearwardly, the structure is such that by rearwardly inclining the backrest attached to a backrest attaching member pivotally supported so as to be inclined rearwardly at one side of an attaching frame opened downward and including a top plate 18 and side plates fixed at the upper end of a leg portion, a tip end protruding part of the backrest attaching member is caused to protrude above the attaching frame and is brought into contact with and pushes up the rear, backrest side of a seat receiving plate which is pressed toward said attaching frame and is inclinably attached to a front end of the attaching frame.

Abstract: The device relates to a method for inclining the backrest of a chair, and a chair having an inclinable backrest, the structure of which is simplified to ensure easy inclination of the backrest and easy adjustment of the inclination force (locking force). An upper member of a backrest tubular frame is divided, and the divided upper members are disposed in parallel to each other with an appointed interval maintained in the vertical direction therebetween. The backrest is attached to both the upper members so that the lower part of the backrest is brought into contact with a lower member of the backrest tubular frame. A hypothetical rotating axis is formed between the upper members, and the backrest can be inclined by user's weight against a twisting force of both the upper members of the backrest tubular frame.
