Abstract

This invention relates to a chair backrest height adjustment structure, primarily featuring a positioning seat located on the back of the backrest and a guide plate installed on a front of a backrest frame, which is slidably engaged with a track on the positioning seat. Additionally, an interlocking component and a driving component are placed within an interlayer space formed between the backrest frame and the guide plate. When adjusting the backrest height, a pressing portion of the driving component is pressed to move an upper end of the interlocking component forward, causing a positioning block at a lower end of the interlocking component to move backward. This action disengages a latch of the positioning block from an engagement hole on the positioning seat at the back of the backrest. After the backrest is adjusted to the desired height, releasing the pressing portion of the driving component allows the latch of the positioning block to re-engage with the engagement hole on the positioning seat, thereby achieving secure positioning. This mechanism enables a simple and convenient adjustment of the backrest height.
