Abstract

See full text

The adjusting mechanism serves for the setting of a restoring force acting on the backrest of a chair. A back support and a seat support are fastened on a support. A setting mechanism configured in the manner of scissors is provided for the weight setting. Said setting mechanism has two scissor arms which are connected to one another via a scissor pin. One of said scissor arms is formed by a spring element and is fastened with its front-side spring end on said support. The back spring end is fastened on said scissor pin. Said first scissor arm is connected to said back support in the manner of a connecting rod. An active lever length is defined between said scissor pin and a support pin about which said back support is mounted pivotably. A compact construction mode is achieved by the configuration of said scissor arm as a spring element.
