Abstract:
1. Seat furniture comprising a seat and a backrest support which are mounted on a support member, the backrest support being pivotal about a horizontal pivot axis, and an energy accumulator which is compressed when the seat is subjected to a load and acts on the backrest support, the energy accumulator engaging the backrest support at an effective distance from the pivot axis, characterized in that the energy accumulator on one side via a lever engages the backrest support and on another side is connected via a transverse connector to the backrest support, wherein the transverse connecter includes a first end operably secured to the backrest support and a second end operably secured to the energy accumulator such that the seat is operably connected to the transverse connector between the first end and the second end, such that the energy accumulator acts to increase a force required to pivot the backrest support when the load is applied to the seat.
