RECLINING CHAIR A chair which is provided with a seat having an adjustable inclination comprises a seat carrier, which is pivoted by a first pivot to link means which carry the seat, a back rest, which is carried by a back rest carrier, which is pivoted to the link means by a second pivot, and means for shifting the chair from a position for work, in which the seat is approximately horizontal and includes with the back rest an angle of about 90 degrees, to a position for reclining, in which the seat is rearwardly inclined and includes an obtuse angle with the back rest. The shift from the position for reclining to the position for work is effected by movements of the body of the occupant and is assisted by spring means. The seat carrier is provided with slide bearings and slots, n which the first pivot is displaceable away from the column as the chair is shifted to its position for reclining. The pivotal movement which is imparted to the back rest by the movement of the body of the occupant is adapted to be transformed to the displacement by means of gearing means comprising pairs of levers. Owing to that design, the center of gravity is displaced so that the back rest can be swung further to the rear without a risk that the stability of the chair might be endangered.
