Abstract
Arrangement in a chair (1), for example a combi-chair allowing for a plurality of sitting positions, in which in order to make it easier for the user (20) when sitting down on the chair, and presenting a larger variety of sitting positions for the user (20), there is suggested an arrangement (10) which comprises one or more support devices (13) which are adapted to the user (20) of the chair (1), and which by the user (20), for example by a simple movement of the foot, may be brought into or away from arbitrary positions in relation to the chair seat (2), such that the user (20) on the one hand with the different support devices in their positions of use is given the choice between a plurality of stable support positions, for example a kneeling-like sitting position having the shins resting on a calf support, a conventional sitting position with the feet resting on on the floor, a backwardly slanting position with the feet resting on supporting devices, or an advanced rearwardly tilted position with the back calves resting on support devices, and such that, on the second hand, the support devices in a position beyond the entrance area of the seat allows the user (20) to sit down and rise without interference from said support devices.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
