Patent ID: 7163263

Claim:
A seating structure comprising: a base; a seat supported by the base; an electrical conduit electrically coupled to a power source; and an automatic tilt adjustment mechanism coupled to the electrical conduit and configured to receive electricity from the power source, wherein the automatic tilt adjustment mechanism comprises: an actuator; a biasing member mechanically coupled to the actuator, wherein the biasing member biases the seat; a microprocessor electrically coupled to the actuator, wherein a desired default position of the seat is programmed into the microprocessor; and a transducer electrically coupled to the microprocessor; wherein the transducer detects an angle of inclination of the seat and wherein upon detecting a previous user rising from the chair or detecting a new user occupying the chair, the microprocessor will engage the actuator and the actuator automatically restores the seat to the default position.
