Abstract

See full text

A seating unit including a concavely curved seat element and a concavely curved thigh support flexibly connected by leaf springs, a stop bracket to define a gap therebetween, having a stop bracket and tabs on the thigh support to reduce the gap at the sides of the seating unit, and having arms which mask the gap at the sides of the seating unit. The thigh support resiliently and resistively deflects downward to a point at which it contacts the stop bracket, and the leaf springs lie parallel in the same plane so that the ends of the leaf springs do not separate as the thigh support is deflected.
