Abstract: Improvements for office chairs are described which include a cam control mechanism having two operative positions under control of the occupant. In the first position the cam actuates a first pneumatic cylinder to adjust the height of the seat over a continuous range. In the second position, the cam independently actuates a second pneumatic cylinder for adjusting the postural attitude of the backrest over a continuous range about a pivot located at the sacral level of the occupant. In the postural adjustment mode, the cam may be positioned to actuate the backrest adjusting cylinder continuously so that the backrest provides a floating support or dynamic cushioning to the back of the occupant. The backrest cushion assembly is mounted to its support by means of a pair of laterally spaced cushion mounts which provide lesser resistance and support to body motions in a fore-and-aft plane but greater support to laterally backward motion, as when the occupant is reaching for something.

Abstract: An improved panel wall system is disclosed with means for interconnecting the panels in any desired angular relationship while providing a sight barrier through the joint. As many of the panels may be connected as are desired; and they may be placed in any desired configuration. Each panel includes an insert assembly to provide its exterior face; and these may be removed and changed, if desired. A full line of shelving and cabinets may be assembled to the panels with a limited number of interchangeable components. The cabinets include a flipper door which will not rack when opened or closed, and which slides beneath the top of the cabinet in the open position, yet has its edges flush with the top and bottom of the cabinet in the closed position.

Abstract: A chair is formed from two side frame sections each including a tubular frame and leg assembly with expanded metal secured to it. The side sections are encapsulated in foam which adheres to and completely encompasses the expanded metal. A seat cushion and foamed front skirt are added to the foamed side frame sections. A flat skirt is provided to completely follow the periphery of the chair just above the floor; and two chairs may be joined at any desired orientation relative to each other by a doubly-grooved joinder member coupling the lower peripheral metal skirts together.
