Abstract: A mobility chair is provided with a pair of mounting members projecting downwardly from armrests on opposite lateral sides of a seat frame approximately midway between a front end of the seat frame and a back frame. The mounting members are pivotally connected to supports extending upwardly from a chassis so that the user-receiving frame moves between forwardly inclined and rearwardly inclined positions. A gas cylinder extends between the chassis and the frame and prevents the angular movement of the frame from accelerating. The pivotal connections between the mounting members and the support members are disposed below the seat. In a restraining chair, the mounting members are disposed on opposite lateral sides of the seat substantially closer to the front end of the seat than to the back, and the pivotal connections between the mounting members and the support members are adjacent to the seat.

Abstract: An adjustable geriatric chair comprising a pair of laterally spaced apart floor-engaging upright frames; brackets associated with each of the frames and provided with a plurality of mounting bores including an upper rear set, a lower rear set and a front set; a back frame; and a seat frame. The back frame and seat frame, each having a pair of laterally opposing longitudinally extending sides, are movably disposed within the upright frames to align a pair of mounting sockets on each side of the back frame with a selected pair of bores in the upper rear set of bores and a front and a rear mounting socket on each side of the seat frame with a selected bore in each of the front and lower rear sets of bores, and are mounted to the brackets by mounting members inserted through the selected bores and extending into the mounting sockets. Webbing is mounted on the seat frame, such that the seat suspends the pelvis of the user without bottoming against a hard surface, and on the back frame.
