Abstract (en)

A tilt control device and an associated method for controlling relative movements (M) between a first chair member (5) and a second chair member (6) that are pivotally connected. The first member (5) comprises one receptacle (18) and the second member (6) comprises a guide (30), and the tilt control device further comprises a movable tilt locking member (16) configured for removably entering the guide (30) and the at least one receptacle (18). An operating member (7) is operably connected to the locking member (16) via resilient actuating means (26, 27), that are configured and arranged to allow relative movement between the operating member and the locking member. The operating member (7) and the locking member (16) are thus not directly connected, but the operating member controls the movements of the locking member via intermediate resilient elements, e.g. springs (26, 27).
