  • Publication number: 20120267934
    Abstract: A one piece integrally formed moulded plastic chair (11) is disclosed having a seat (2), backrest (3) and legs (4-7). A U-shaped rib (19) extends between the upper regions of the rear legs (6, 7) to cross-brace same. A gap (24) is proved between the cross piece (20) of the rib (19) and the underside of the seat (2). In use the seat (2) deforms to reduce the size of the gap (24) under the weight of a sitter. This deformation thereby provides a more comfortable seat.

  • Publication number: 20120017810
    Abstract: A school desk top or table top (31) is disclosed having a buffer (37, 47) extending around its perpendicular side edge and formed by injection moulding. The front edge (42, 52) and rear edge (43, 53) of the desk have a curved buffer (37) to avoid a sharp edge on which a student's forearm might rest. However, the side edges (41, 54) have a substantially flat buffer (47) to enable two like desks (40, 50) to be edge abutted and thereby provide a substantially continuous flat working surface.

    Abstract: A backrest for a seat is disclosed having a first plurality of forwardly facing openings 8 arranged in an array 7 and second plurality of protrusions 10 arranged in a second array 9.

  • Patent number: 4733910
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a chair having a seat and a backrest which is hinged to the seat by a resilient hinge. The hinge is substantially moulded together with the shell formed by the seat and backrest. The degree of flexure of the backrest exceeds any flexure of prior art. One piece plastic shells and stops are preferably provided to limit the degree of flexure of the hinge. Moulding the hinge with the shell substantially reduces costs.
