According to the present invention a back for a seating unit is provided. The back comprises a plurality of flexible finger elements. Each of the plurality of flexible finger elements has a distal end. The back further comprises a retainer connecting at least two of the flexible finger elements proximate their distal ends. When a load is applied to a flexible finger element, the retainer distributes at least a portion of the load to at least one adjacent flexible finger element.

The chair includes a cushion having a chassis, a back and an adjustment structure connected to the chassis. The adjustment structure includes a base frame and a back frame. The base frame has a main body with a connecting arm rotatably connecting the chassis. The back frame is connected between the back and the base frame and has a connecting portion connected to the base frame and a support substantially perpendicularly extending from the connecting portion toward the back. An arc-shaped bend portion is formed between the support and the connecting portion. A top of the support is connected to the back.

A seat assembly for insertion into a piece of furniture has a frame having opposed sides. Each side may have openings therein for supporting clips. Upper and lower sinuous wires extend generally across the frame. Upper stabilizer wires are secured to the upper sinuous wires and maintain the spacing thereof. The clips secure each of the sinuous wires to the frame. Coil springs are secured to the upper stabilizer wires and the lower sinuous wires. The clips securing the upper and lower sinuous wires alternate along the sides of the frame.

Present embodiments relate to furniture joinery. More particularly, present embodiments relate to a slide rail, slide block construction for joining furniture structural components.

A mobile task chair with a mobile base structure, a control mechanism, a seat bottom, and a seat back. A physical setting control mechanism is adjustable to control a physical setting of the mobile task chair, and a visual indicator provides a visual indication, such as an illuminated visual indication, of the physical setting of the mobile task chair as adjusted by the physical setting control mechanism. The physical setting control mechanism can be pivoting resistance adjustment mechanism, and the visual indicator can indicate a selected pivoting resistance based on a resistance sensed by a resistance sensor. Multiple physical setting control mechanisms and a corresponding multiplicity of separate visual indicators can be provided. The visual indicator can be selectively induced as by touch and can be effective for a given time period. Recommended settings can be provided and automatically or selectively induced.

A chair, especially an office chair, includes a seat that is fastened on a base support unit, a backrest that includes a back lower region and an upper shoulder region and is fastened to a back support, the back support being supported by the base support unit in a manner permitting rotation about an inclination axis. The shoulder region is connected to the back support in a manner permitting inclination about a shoulder axis and is hinge-connected to a back lower region at a lumbar region, and the back lower region further extends along a chair element so that when the shoulder region is inclined about the shoulder axis, an angle of the shoulder region relative to the back lower region is changed.
