Abstract

A reclining seat support (3) and a backrest support (4) are hinged on a chair frame with a support part (1) via a lever (7) by means of hinges (5, 8). Coupled to the backrest-side end of the seat support (3) is a link chain (15) which is connected at its other end to a slide (20) and a backrest (21). The link chain (15) causes the slide (20) to be moved downwards with the backrest when the chair is reclined. By this means, the pulling-out effect during the transition from the normal position into the reclined position of the lever is eliminated. However, if the chair frame is used as a chair without a link chain (15), although slightly less seating comfort is achieved by the reclining seat support, the expenditure is correspondingly less. <IMAGE>
