An access system includes a laterally extending frame, a carriage in operative connection with the laterally extending frame and including a drive to move the carriage laterally on the frame, a seat support attached to the carriage including a seat assembly interface and a lift to raise and lower the seat assembly interface within a range of positions, a seat assembly attached to the seat assembly interface, a controller in operative connection with the drive of the carriage and the lift of the seat support via which the position of the seat support is controllable, and a controller interface in operative connection with the controller.

A chair having an adjustable backrest and control actuator disposed forward of the backrest hinge, for controlling the backrest angle. The chair has a backrest support hinged to the backrest away from the backrest/chair hinge, and coupled directly or indirectly to track runners which run along elongated support tracks. A positioner is controlled by the control actuator and coupled to the backrest support and track runners, limiting the extent to which the track runners may move along the support tracks and thus control the angle of the backrest.

Wobbling among components is reduced. The seat reclining device includes: outer rolling members (80) disposed between a ring-shaped bottom surface portion (71) of a mounting ring (70) and an outer surface of a guide bracket (20) or an outer surface of an internal gear (30), that faces the ring-shaped bottom surface portion (71); and inner rolling members (90) which are disposed between opposed surfaces of guide groove portions of the guide bracket (20) and lock plates (60A to 60D) to guide the lock plates (60A, 60C) in a radial direction. Owing to the outer rolling members (80) and the inner rolling members (90), force pressing stacked members relatively to one another functions in a stacking direction, and as its reaction force, spring force of the mounting ring (70) acts, so that wobbling is reduced. As for the relative pressing force by the outer rolling members (80) and the inner rolling members (90), the pressing force by the rolling members (80, 90) acts not only in a locked state but also in an unlocked state, so that wobbling among the members is reduced in the both states.

A vehicle seat reclining device is disclosed. An operation mechanism allows a second memory member to engage with and disengage from a first memory member, and locks and unlocks a lock member in conjunction with the engagement and disengagement. When the first memory member is in a predetermined rotational position relative to the second rotating member, the second memory member is inserted into an engagement slot provided in the first memory member, thereby restricting rotation of the first memory member relative to the second rotating member. The operation mechanism includes a link member that is linked to the second memory member inserted into a guide hole provided in a plate-shaped member. In the thickness direction of the plate-shaped member, the link member is arranged on the same side of the plate-shaped member as the first memory member.

An office chair including a base, a seat, a chair column that extends in the vertical direction between the base and the seat, and a backrest, further comprising an electric drive unit that comprises an electric motor and a change gear, the change gear being designed to input the rotational force of the electric motor into a first adjustment device for adjusting a seat height of the seat and converting said force in a second adjustment device for adjusting a tilt of the seat or the backrest.

The present invention relates to a Taumel-type reclining device and provides a reclining device in which clattering does not occur. On either the inner side or the outer side of a first wedge-shaped member 71 and a second wedge-shaped member 73, a driving ring 75 is disposed. A abutting portion of the driving ring 75 is formed such that, in a case where the internal gear 61 and the external gear 63 are in a locked state, a force to move the first wedge-shaped member 71 and the second wedge-shaped member 73 in a direction in which engagement of the inner teeth 61c of the internal gear 61 and the outer teeth 63a of the external gear 63 becomes deeper can be generated.
