A vehicle chair capable of automatic adjustment in accordance with occupant weight. The chair is supported by spring means acting through a lever. To adjust the chair for different occupant weight the lever is respositioned automatically by first releasing the normal coupling between seat, lever, and spring; and second, the lever is positioned in accordance with occupant weight. Then the coupling between seat, lever, and spring is reestablished for normal operation. In one embodiment the lever is moved relative to its pivot to adjust for weight variations. In another embodiment the application of force to the lever from the seat is shifted for purposes of compensation. |
