Lounge chair

摘要

A lounge chair having a seat shell that defines a chair back and a seat is pivotally movable about a stationary base. The stationary base includes a concave support surface having a shape that generally corresponds with a convex outer surface of the seat shell. A swivel disc is positioned between the seat shell and the base to allow the seat shell to pivot about the stationary base. The interaction between a pivot post formed on the base and a pivot limiting guide formed in the seat shell defines the range of movement for the seat shell. A tether connects the seat shell to the seat base and creates a bias force to urge the seat shell into an upright seating position. The base includes a series of glide buttons that support the swivel disc to allow the seat shell to pivot relative to the stationary base.

主权项

1. A lounge chair, comprising:
a seat shell having a hollow interior, integrally formed seat and chair back and a convex bottom contact surface; a base having a concave support surface that generally corresponds to the convex bottom contact surface of the seat shell; a pivot post extending from the support surface of the base and into the hollow interior of the seat shell when the seat shell is received on the base; a pivot limiting guide formed in the seat shell that contacts the pivot post to limit the pivoting movement of the seat shell relative to the base; and a tether positioned between the seat shell and the base to bias the seat shell into a seating position.
