Abstract:

An ergonomic chair employing stacked layer construction including a frame having a seat, a back support, and a plurality of support legs. The seat and the back support each include a plurality of parallel-stacked, thin layered slats, with each of the slats being spaced from one another, and being similarly flexible and securely mounted within a corresponding slot formed in the frame. The parallel-stacked, thin layered slats are subjected to a load with each thin layered slat flexing toward the next lower-positioned slat for progressively increasing the resistance to the load. Each of the slats exhibits linear flexibility and rotational flexibility about a horizontal axis of the slat for adjusting to a shift in the load on the stacked, thin layered slats for providing a comfortable seating surface on the ergonomic chair.
