  • Patent number: 5154472
    Abstract: A chair having a seating unit and two pairs of legs made slidably integral by couplings attached to the seating unit and designed to engage the relevant inserts located in such first pair of legs, which are made to slide in relation to the second pair of legs by further couplings located in further inserts provided on the second pair of legs, so as the couplings are designed to allow substantially continuous tilt adjustment of the seat and of the backrest relative to the seat, as a result of the relevant pushing action exerted by the user while assuming various positions that are balanced by the push up action.
