  • Publication number: 20110062758
    Abstract: An item of seating furniture employs a seat depth adjustment, in which the seat is mounted displaceably relative to a backrest frame. A pivotable lower backrest frame is mounted on the backrest frame. The lower backrest frame is connected to the rear part of the seat. The displaceable seat thereby remains connected to the backrest, and a horizontal gap does not arise between the backrest and seat, which horizontal gap could impair the seating comfort and interfere in the overall appearance of the item of seating furniture. The seat depth adjustment is in particular also suitable for use with synchronous mechanisms.
