Abstract
A task chair is provided having a base frame, a back assembly pivoted to the base assembly for movement between upright and reclined positions, and a seat slidably supported on the base assembly and pivoted to the back frame so that the seat moves forwardly and its rear moves forwardly and downwardly with the back frame upon recline. The pivots for connecting the back frame to the base frame and for connecting the seat to the back frame permit quick fastenerless assembly by flexing the back frame during assembly. The pivots include rubber elements that permit flexing of a bearing element to prevent binding during rotation when the bearing element is not fully aligned with a pivot axis. A method of assembly including flexing apart the configured end sections of the back frame positioning the configured ends adjacent opposite sides of the seat, and releasing the configured end sections so that they engage the seat, is also disclosed.
