Embodiment Construction
[0024] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to office furniture and, more particularly, to swivel, swivel tablet arms for nesting chairs. The term "telescopic chair" is used herein in its broadest sense to denote a chair that is capable of engaging with other similar chairs in such a way that each chair is more flexible when in the nested position than when it is in the operative position. Takes up less area space on average. Nesting chairs can be used in venues such as conference rooms or conference venues where the meeting area can be rearranged from a seating structure to an open space structure. Such nesting chairs may be stacked, aligned, and / or aligned horizontally, such as along a wall or hallway in a tandem arrangement, to minimize the space occupied by the nesting chairs. Stacking chairs can eliminate the need to lift and stack chairs, and can further facilitate chair setup, disassembly, and storage.
[0025] As used herein, the term "connected" is ...

According to various embodiments of the present invention, a tablet arm for a nesting chair including a first rigid support member affixed to a nesting chair, a second rigid support member swivelably coupled to the first rigid support member, a tablet rotatably and slidably coupled to the second rigid support member by a collar, a first stop coupled with the second rigid support member and configured to abut one end of the collar in the tablet's forward operable position, and a second stop coupled with the second rigid support member and configured to abut another end of the collar in the tablet's rearward operable position. According to some embodiments, a plurality of nesting chairs having swivelling rotatable tablets movable from an operable position to a nested position, the tablets positioned over seatbacks of the chairs in the nested position and configured to slide horizontally in the operable position.
Description
technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to office furniture and, more particularly, to rotating, rotating tablet arms for nesting chairs. Background technique [0002] Current chairs featuring tablet arms generally cannot be nested or stacked together to effectively save space because the tablet arms are usually fixed. Some current telescoping chairs featuring movable tablet arms often require complex mechanical joints to allow the tablet arm components to rotate about a series of closely coupled axes. Tablet rotation through such closely spaced and complex joints reduces the durability of the tablet rotation mechanism and increases manufacturing costs. Furthermore, current tablet arms for nesting chairs do not allow horizontal translation of the tablet in the operative position of the tablet arm. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a tablet arm for a telescoping chair that pivots in a horizontal plane, slides in a horizontal pl...
