Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2177132A1] The device (20) has a spring-loaded guide lever (21) comprising a spring-elastic unit (26) e.g. spiral spring, fastened to a seat of a chair, where the unit exerts a spring force on the lever in a clamped condition. A guide rail (23) has a vertically running locking rail (31) in an inner area (30), and a toothed wheel (22) is coupled with the lever over an articulated connection, such that a toothed wheel section (27) of the wheel is arranged in the inner area in a vertically movable manner for engaging a tooth of the wheel section to a tooth of the locking rail during a seat inclination. An independent claim is also included for a chair e.g. office chair and swivel chair or armchair, comprising a chair support and a seat.
