This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202123007620.2 with a filing date of Dec. 2, 2021. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, are incorporated herein by reference.
The present utility model belongs to the technical field of chairs, and in particular, relates to a chair back adjusting mechanism.
A chair back is used to provide support to the back and waist of a user when he/she is in a sitting posture state. The support provided by the chair back of an existing chair is typically disposed to be fixed and immovable. The user has to change his/her sitting posture to allow the back to get close to and fit the chair back, thereby achieving support for the back. This has some limitations, which limit the sitting posture of the user. An existing adjusting mechanism is complicated in structure and high in manufacturing cost. Therefore, we propose a chair back adjusting mechanism.
