SEATING DEVICE HAVING A TILT MECHANISM

摘要

A seating device can include a seat (2, 7) and a base (13, 3) connected to the seat (2, 7) to support the seat (2, 7). A tilt mechanism can be connected to at least one of the base (13, 3) and the seat (2, 7). The tilt mechanism can include at least one of (a) at least one seat connecting member (9) connecting the seat (2, 7) to an upper portion of the base (13, 3), (b) a plurality of resilient fingers (19) that are attached to the base (13, 3) to engage a floor and flex in response to a user providing a force while sitting or leaning on the seat (2, 7), and (c) an elastomeric floor engagement member (15) that is attached to the base (13, 3) and has a bottom peripheral portion that contacts a floor and is flexible in response to a user providing the force. In some embodiments, the tilt mechanism may include all of elements (a)-(c).
