A chair control mechanism of the type having a seat
support member pivotally mounted on a leg mounting member, and a
spring loaded adjustment mechanism for controlling the pivotal
movement of one member with respect to the other. The adjustment
mechanism includes a handle mounted on an adjustment screw for
movement therealong to compress or allow extension of the
compression spring. A nut is threadedly mounted on the
adjustment screw and serves to retain the members, adjustment
screw and spring in an assembled configuration during shipping to
and assembly of a chair by a chair manufacturer. A hand wheel is
provided for attachment to the nut after the control mechanism
has been assembled and installed in a chair. The hand wheel has
a body of plastics material in which a seat formed which is
proportioned to accommodate and adapted to cooperate with the nut
such that when the nut is seated therein, rotation of the hand
wheel will cause rotation of the nut with respect to the
adjustment screw. The seat also cooperates with the nut to
prevent removal of the nut therefrom. The body of plastics
material is sufficiently flexible to permit resilient deformation
of the seat to admit the nut thereto.
