For this reason, as a result of the tensile force of the return spring 70, the return moment operates all the time on the swinging member 30. Now, as a result of this embodiment, because a spiral spring is employed as the return spring 70, a smaller outer shape dimension of the direction along the axial center of the main axis 13 is enabled. As a result, there is the benefit that a more compact angle adjustment tool may be derived.

Next, the return spring 70 while having one terminal means 70a thereof locked to the support member 10, the other terminal means 70b of the return spring 70 is locked to the swinging member main body 31. As a result, the twisting moment of the springing force of the return spring 70 acts on the swinging member 30 all the time.

Therefore, because the armrest means 7 incorporating the swinging member 30 is return of the displaced along the swinging member main body 31, slackened creases are not generated in the upholstery covering the armrest means 7. As a result, the usage feeling thereof is good, and there is the benefit that a sofa is enabled with a high designability. Because the rest is the same as in the earlier described embodiment 1, the same reference numerals are applied to the same parts and the description thereof is dispensed with here.
  • the first movable ring member 82 is arc shaped, and the distance between the fulcrum points of the fulcrum of swinging located in both termini is short, for this reason, an angle adjustment tool 8 may be derived with a short displacement distance of the sliding member 85.
  • an angle adjustment tool 8 may be derived with a short displacement distance of the sliding member 85.
  • the surface intersected by the axial center of the horizontal part of the support member 10, and the surface intersected by the axial center of the swinging member 30 are located on the same surface. For this reason, even when the angle adjustment tool 8 employees a L shaped support member 10, the height dimension Z of the swinging member 30 is small. As a result, the required attachment dimensions in order to attach the swinging member main body 31 of the present embodiment to the headrest means 5 or the armrest means 7 are smaller. Therefore, there is the benefit that the headrest means 5 or the armrest means 7 and the like incorporating the angle adjustment tool 8 of the present invention may be made thinner.
  • an explanation was provided of the situation employing a bar member bent into a substantially L shape as the support member, but there is no necessity to be limited thereto, and a straight bar member may also be used.
  • the support member is not limited to the situation where it is comprised of a bar material, and it may be formed by a plate shaped material with a substantially L shape or a straight card shaped plate type material.
  • an explanation was provided of a situation wherein the support member is attached to the padding material of the sofa and the like via a tube shaped attachment tool, but it is not necessarily limited thereto, and it may be attached directly.
  • a male screw means may be formed in bar shaped support member, and the padding material of the sofa and the like may be attached directly via the seat metal, or nut.
  • the support member comprised of sheet shaped material may be directly screwed to the padding material.
  • the angle adjustment tool of the present invention may be adapted not only to the earlier described sofas, but may also be adapted to furniture such as chairs, and foldable beds. Moreover, it goes without saying that it may be adapted to not only headrest means, armrest means but also to footrest means.
