Abstract
A tilt mechanism (10) for a chair comprises a base (11), a first support (12) configured to support a chair seat and a second support (13) configured to support a chair back. The second support (13) is pivotably coupled to the base (11). A first coupling mechanism (41) couples the first support (12) with the base (11) and includes a first pin (40) slideably supported in a first linear guide slot (20). A second coupling mechanism (42) couples the second support (13) with the first support (12) and includes a second pin (44) slideably supported in a second linear guide slot (36). When the second support (13) pivots relative to the base (11), the first pin (40) is caused to be displaced along the first linear guide slot (20) and the second pin (44) is caused to be displaced along the second linear guide slot (36).
