  • Patent number: 10383448
    Abstract: A forward tilt assembly configured to tilt forward a seat of a chair. The forward tilt assembly includes a base, a seat plate, and a release mechanism. The seat plate is pivotally mounted to the base and includes two support brackets on the sides of the seat plate. Each support bracket includes a keyhole slot. The release mechanism is operable between locked and unlocked positions and includes a slidable lock pin mounted between the support brackets. The release mechanism includes two keyed collars, one disposed at each end of the lock pin. The collars are received in respective keyhole slots of the support brackets. When the release mechanism is in the unlocked position, the collars are unobstructed from moving within the keyhole slots, and the seat plate can pivot relative to the base, thereby tilting a rear of the chair seat.
