Abstract

An adjustment mechanism for an aircraft chair in which the chair can be easily and automatically locked in its adjusted or upright position, and unlocked for horizontal swiveling movement. Rotatable cam means are oriented in a locking position such that the chair seat is locked against the base. When the cam means is rotated the brakes are unlocked thereby permitting horizontal or swiveling movement of the chair seat relative to the base.
