Abstract

In the case of a chair with adjustable seat depth, the seat comprises a rigid supporting panel (1) and a single-piece, longitudinally flexible seat panel (2) which bears the seat cushion (3) and is connected in a longitudinally displaceable manner to the supporting panel (1). The longitudinal displaceability is achieved by providing guide strips (6) mounted in guideways (4) on the top side of the seat panel (2), the guide strips being fastened on the supporting panel (1) via screws (7), and the screws (7) passing through slots (5) on the base of the guideways (4). The supporting panel (1) is advantageously designed as a frame and consists of cast aluminium, and the seat panel (2) consists of polypropylene. This achieves an optimum sliding pairing.
