    Abstract: A height adjusting mechanism is connected between a rigid upright extending upwardly from the seat assembly and an inner shell of the back assembly. The height adjusting mechanism includes a ratcheting latch which engages a vertically elongate rack to maintain the back assembly at a selected elevation and a release lever or cam which is connected to the catch and automatically disengages the catch from the rack at the upper limit of travel of the back assembly. The release cam continuously contacts the inner shell of the back assembly and is deactivated merely by a short upward shifting of the back assembly which thereby permits the pawl to reengage the rack at any desired elevation. Accordingly, reengagement of the pawl with the rack can be accomplished at any point between the upper and lower limits of travel of the back assembly.

    Abstract: A tilt control mechanism for an office chair includes a spring arrangement which permits forward and rearward tilting of the chair while also urging the chair to a normal upright position. The spring arrangement includes front and rear springs which act in combination such that the upward acting forces acting on the chair can be varied during use. The forces being applied by the front spring are adjusted by a side-actuated tension adjustment mechanism which incorporates a wedge block for adjusting the spring forces. Further, the rear springs provide a variable spring force such that the spring force is maximized when in the normal position but is decreased substantially once the chair is fully reclined. This reduction in spring force allows a user to maintain the chair in the fully reclined position with significantly less force than was required to tilt the chair rearwardly while a sufficient spring force continues to be applied by the front spring to urge the chair to the normal position.

    Abstract translation: 用于办公椅的倾斜控制机构包括弹簧装置,其允许椅子的前后倾斜,同时还将椅子推向正常的直立位置。 弹簧装置包括组合的前后弹簧,使得作用在椅子上的向上作用力可在使用期间变化。 由前弹簧施加的力由侧向致动的张力调节机构调节,该机构包括用于调节弹簧力的楔形块。 此外,后弹簧提供可变的弹簧力,使得当处于正常位置时弹簧力最大化,但是一旦椅子完全倾斜,则弹簧力被大大减小。 弹簧力的这种减小允许使用者将椅子保持在完全倾斜的位置,其力显着小于将椅子向后倾斜所需的力,同时由前弹簧继续施加足够的弹簧力以将椅子推到正常位置 。
