Abstract: A rocker box for use on a rocker chair is provided. The rocker box includes a base plate; a rocker plate spaced from the base plate and pivotally coupled to the base plate at a pivot axis; a pair of springs extending between the base plate and the rocker plate, the springs being coupled on one end to the base plate and on the other end to the rocker plate; and a spacer extending between the springs and each of the base plate and the rocker plate, such that the first springs do not directly contact the surface of the base plate or the rocker plate.

Abstract: A spring mechanism for a rocker assembly is disclosed, the spring mechanism being connected to a rocker mechanism of the rocker assembly to assist a rocker member of the rocker mechanism in returning from a rocking position to a rest position, wherein the spring mechanism comprises two mounting plates opposed at a spacing and two springs connected between the two mounting plates, each of the mounting plates being provided with holding structures for holding each of the springs in place on the mounting plate, wherein a spacer is provided between each mounting plate and each spring to avoid the mounting plate from contacting at least one turn of the spring.
