Abstract:
A sitting device that encourages the active engagement of the user to remain upright. A seat ( 14 ) supported by a central column ( 12 ) passes through a pivot joint ( 16 ) supported by a base ( 10 ). The central column ( 12 ) pivots angularly providing the user mobility in his or her hips and lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine. The central column ( 12 ) and seat ( 14 ) are brought back to vertical when the sitting device is not in use by means of a counterweight ( 18 ) affixed to the bottom of the central column ( 12 ). The length of the central column ( 12 ) may be adjustable to allow the user to select the desired height of the seat ( 14 ). The pivot joint ( 16 ) may be a spherical plain bearing, spherical ball bearing, gimbal bearing, spherical thrust bearing, or other device that allows the central column ( 12 ) to pivot angularly. The base ( 10 ) supporting the pivot joint ( 16 ) and central column ( 12 ) may contain as few as one leg and as many legs as needed to support the user. The movement of the pivot joint ( 16 ) may be inhibited by affixing a collar lock ( 40 ). The frictional resistance of the pivot joint ( 16 ) may be adjusted with a set screw ( 50 ).

Claim (Index 3):
The sitting device of  claim 1  wherein said base comprises a plurality of elongated supports of equal length affixed perpendicularly to a sheet of rigid material sufficient in strength to support the weight of a person.
