Abstract:
1. A control system for a chair comprising: a first resilient block; a second resilient block; a first stabilizing member defining a first horizontal axis, the first stabilizing member having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first stabilizing member extends into the first resilient block and the second end of the first stabilizing member extends into the second resilient block; a second stabilizing member coupled to the first stabilizing member by a connector, the second stabilizing member having first and second ends and defining a second horizontal axis disposed in parallel to the first horizontal axis; a first rocker attached to the first end of the second stabilizing member; and, a second rocker attached to the second end of the second stabilizing member, wherein the second rocker is movable independent of the first rocker; and, a coupling assembly for coupling the first and second ends of the second stabilizing member to the respective first and second rockers, wherein the coupling assembly permits translation of each of the first and second rockers relative to the second stabilizing member in a direction perpendicular to the second horizontal axis.
