    Abstract: 1,072,438. Adjustable seat backs. ANDERSON CO. Aug. 4, 1964 [July 25, 1963], No. 30976/64. Heading A4J. [Also in Division E2] A mechanical position-retaining device for chairs has a first member 110 for attachment to a chair base (189) Fig. 4 (not shown) and a second member 112 rectilinearly movable relative to the first member for attachment to a chair back (190) positionable with respect to the chair base. A nut 142 is fixedly carried by member 112 and has internal threading to co-operate with a threaded rod 138, the threading being relatively steep so that an axial force applied by the chair back rectilinearly between the members 110, 112 tends to rotate the rod 138. Such rotation is prevented by a brake consisting of a resilient coil 158, connected at one end 160 to a base part 116 of the member 110, surrounding and gripping a drum 144 connected to the threaded rod 138. The brake is releasable by engaging a squared end (164) Fig. 3 (not shown) of coil 158 by a shoulder (176) of a release member 166 to increase the inner diameter of the coil. A resilient friction washer 152 is disposed between the part 116 of the member 110 and the rotatable rod 138 to dampen rotation of the rod and hence the relative rectilinear movement of the members 110, 112.
