Abstract (en)

The chair is injection-moulded from a plastics and has a seat (2) and a back (7) which is supported by two arms or arm rests (8, 9) which are fixed to the edges of the seat. The seat back is connected to the arm rests by zones (8a, 9a) of reduced width which allow the back to pivot about a horizontal axis (X - X'). The rear ends of the arm rests are held up by supports (10, 11). The lower edges of the zones of reduced width have reinforcing ribs (12) which form extensions to a reinforcing rib (14) round the lower edge of the seat back. The upper edges of the arms also have reinforcing ribs (16, 17).
