Abstract:
A stool comprises a height-adjustable seat. The seat is coupled to a stem of the stool using a ball and socket mechanism. The ball and socket mechanism enables the seat to be tiltable up to 20 degrees in all directions about a vertical axis. The ball and socket mechanism aids in providing the seated individual with an increased range of motion. The range of tiltable motion can be adjusted using an adjustment member.

Claim (Index 6):
A stool having a seat that has an adjustable height and an adjustable degree of tilt, the stool comprising a base, the base including an internally threaded bore, a central tubular member having a lower portion that is externally threaded, the externally threaded lower portion being received within the internally threaded bore of the base, a height adjustment member connected to the central tubular member and fixed against rotation about a vertical axis relative to the tube, an upper portion of the central tubular member being externally threaded, a tilt adjustment member having an internal thread and being rotatable relative to the externally threaded upper portion of the tube, the tilt adjustment member having a control surface configured to bear against a seat, the seat having a seating surface and a depending ball, the depending ball being captured within a socket defined within the central tubular member by at least one socket block and the ball and socket defining a coupling between the seat and the central tubular member that allows tilting of the seat relative to a vertical axis that extends through a center of the socket.
