Claim Text:
1. A glider chair providing for a plurality of glide paths in relation to a seated persons orientation, comprising: a glider base including a glider mechanism supporting a gliding top, the glider mechanism providing for generally linear motion of the gliding top along at least a segment of a first axis; and a seat including at least a bottom element and a backrest extending upwardly from the rear of the bottom element; the bottom element being rotatably coupled to the gliding top of the glider base by an upwardly extending flange which engages a circular track providing for rotation of the seat about a second axis; at least one locking mechanism being affixed to one or more of the gliding top and the seat, the gliding mechanism being configured for constraining rotation of the seat about the second axis thereby constraining the orientation of the seat in relation to the first axis, wherein an orientation of the seat in relation to the first axis may be selectively modified by rotation of the seat about the second axis such that the seat may be rotated relative to the glider base for a generally linear movement along a plurality of glide paths angled relative to the first axis.
