Abstract: A unitary composite cam member is designed for integration into a rocker chair base assembly. In one arrangement, one cam member resides upon each longitudinal rail of the rocker chair base assembly. Each cam member includes a rigid body and one or more laterally projecting sleeves. The rigid body has an upper portion as well as a lower contact surface presenting an arcuate longitudinal profile. The shape of the contact surface enables rolling engagement on a longitudinal rail of a rocker chair base assembly. Each projecting sleeve extends laterally from the rigid body at a location generally near the top of the cam member. The projecting sleeves are designed to provide an attachment point for cross members of a rocker chair base assembly to accomplish coupling together of the cam members with each aligned upon one of the longitudinal rails.
