Abstract
A chair (100, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700) includes a support spine (104, 304, 404, 504). A seat assembly (106, 306, 406, 506, 606) is coupled to the support spine (104, 304, 404, 504), and the seat assembly (106, 306, 406, 506, 606) includes a flexible frame (128, 202, 328, 428, 528, 628) being movable relative to the support spine (104, 304, 404, 504). The flexible frame (128, 202, 328, 428, 528, 628) comprises a first frame element, a second frame element coupled to the first frame element at a first comer (140, 144, 214, 218, 340, 344, 444, 544), and a third frame element coupled to the second frame element at a second comer (140, 144, 214, 218, 340, 344, 444, 544). The first corner (140, 144, 214, 218, 340, 344, 440, 444, 540, 544, 644) and the second corner (140, 144, 214, 218, 340, 344, 440, 444, 540, 544, 644) are substantially independently movable relative to the support spine (104, 304, 404, 504). A conformable panel (130, 204) is coupled to the flexible frame (128, 202, 328, 428, 528, 628) and configured to engage an occupant of the chair (100, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700). A resistance assembly (108, 308, 408, 508, 608) couples the support spine (104, 304, 404, 504) to the flexible frame (128, 202, 328, 428, 528, 628). The resistance assembly (108, 308, 408, 508, 608) bears against the flexible frame (128, 202, 328, 428, 528, 628) to facilitate substantially independent movement of the first corner (140, 144, 214, 218, 340, 344, 440, 444, 540, 544, 644) and the second comer (140, 144, 214, 218, 340, 344, 444, 544) relative to the support spine (104, 304, 404, 504).
