Aclamp 113 is then mounted in a slot (not shown) at an outer peripheral edge of theinner frame 112 to securely fix themesh 111 on theseat cushion 11. Thus, themesh 111 fixed on theseat cushion 11 has the strength to support a user's body weight. As shown inFIG. 2 ,reinforcement beams 13 can only reinforce theseat frame 12 to sustain body weight. However, thereinforcement beams 13 still need to assemble with thebase 31, which connects with thechair leg 30, to sustain the pressure and torques produced by the body weight. Further, the top end of thechair leg 30 may also be provided with a pressure adjustment unit for seat height adjustment. Thus, thebase 31 is usually made of metal and is formed thick enough to provide sufficient strength, which increases the weight of the chair and the manufacture cost. Therefore, it is an important issue to design a chair that can reduce the manufacture cost and still have sufficient structural strength. - A primary objective of the present is to provide an office chair whose strength is strong enough to sustain the user's body and manufacture cost is lower than conventional office chairs.
- In order to achieve the objective, a seat of an office chair according to the present invention includes a support member. The support member is integrally formed with the seat by injection molding and can be directly mounted on a top of a chair leg. The seat may incorporate a pressure adjustment unit for seat height adjustment, and can be easily coupled with a backrest. Therefore, the seat height is adjustable and the manufacture cost is lowered.
