Chair supported by bellows with motion control

1. A chair comprising:

a seat component comprising a seat portion with a bottom surface and a back support portion, the seat portion and the back support portion comprising a uniform body;

an intermediate support component joined to the seat component and comprising a first plate and a second plate, the first plate being joined to the bottom surface of the seat portion, the second plate comprising a hole, the first plate and the second plate being spaced apart from each other using a first bellows, a second bellows, a third bellows, and a fourth bellows, and the first plate and the second plate being coupled together using a first rod, a second rod, a third rod, and a fourth rod, each of the first rod, the second rod, the third rod, and the fourth rod being at least partially contained within one of the first bellows, the second bellows, the third bellows, and the fourth bellows, a motion control mechanism that is selectively engagable with the first plate and that extends through the hole of the second plate, wherein the motion control mechanism comprises a stop element and the hole of the second plate comprising a threaded hole, the stop element comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a thread pattern positioned between the first portion and the second portion, the thread pattern enabling the stop element to rotated relative to the threaded hole of the second plate; and

a leg component comprising a first pair of legs and a second pair of legs, each of the first pair of legs and the second pair of legs being joined to the second plate.

2. The chair of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the stop element of the motion control mechanism engages the first plate to limit relative movement of the first plate relative to the second plate.

3. The chair of claim 1 , wherein the motion control mechanism is disengaged when the first portion of the stop element is not contacting the first plate.

4. The chair of claim 1 , wherein the motion control mechanism comprises a handle that is connected to at least one wedge block, the at least one wedge block being movable between a first position within a socket defined within the intermediate support component and a second position that is engaged with the first plate.

5. The chair of claim 1 , wherein the first rod, the second rod, the third rod, and the fourth rod are coupled to each of the first plate and the second plate in such manner as to allow the first rod, the second rod, the third rod, and the fourth rod to move axially but not laterally to any appreciable extent when a force is applied to the seat component.

6. A chair having a seat portion that is capable of selective wobbling relative to a leg portion, the seat portion being joined to a first plate and the leg portion being joined to a second plate, the first plate and the second plate being spaced apart by one or more resilient members, the first plate and the second plate having a range of motion that can be locked out by a motion control mechanism, wherein the motion control mechanism comprises a stop element that translates relative to the second plate and the motion control mechanism being positioned at least partially between the first plate and the second plate.

7. The chair of claim 6 , wherein a range of motion of the stop element is limited by the first plate.

8. The chair of claim 7 , wherein the stop element comprises a first threaded surface and the second plate comprises a second threaded surface, the first threaded surface and the second threaded surface cooperating together to guide movement of the stop element relative to the second plate.

9. The chair of claim 7 , wherein the stop element comprises a first portion that contacts the first plate.

10. The chair of claim 9 , wherein the stop element also comprises a second portion configured to be grasped by a user for manipulating the stop element in a rotational direction.

11. The chair of claim 6 , wherein at least one limiter member is connected to the first plate and the second plate such that movement of the first plate and the second plate away from each other is limited.

12. The chair of claim 11 , wherein a first end of the limiter member is fixed relative to the first plate and a second end of the limiter member is movable relative to the second plate.

13. The chair of claim 12 , wherein each of the one or more resilient members comprise a bellows that is positioned between the first plate and the second plate.

14. The chair of claim 13 , wherein the limiter member is a rod that extends through the bellows.

15. A chair comprising:

a seat component comprising a seat portion with a bottom surface and a back support portion, the seat portion and the back support portion comprising a uniform body;

an intermediate support component joined to the seat component and comprising a first plate and a second plate, the first plate being joined to the bottom surface of the seat portion, the second plate comprising a hole, the first plate and the second plate being spaced apart from each other using a first bellows, a second bellows, a third bellows, and a fourth bellows, and the first plate and the second plate being coupled together using a first rod, a second rod, a third rod, and a fourth rod, each of the first rod, the second rod, the third rod, and the fourth rod being at least partially contained within one of the first bellows, the second bellows, the third bellows, and the fourth bellows, a motion control mechanism that is selectively engagable with the first plate and that extends through the hole of the second plate, wherein the motion control mechanism comprises a handle that is connected to at least one wedge block, the at least one wedge block being movable between a first position within a socket defined within the intermediate support component and a second position that is engaged with the first plate; and

a leg component comprising a first pair of legs and a second pair of legs, each of the first pair of legs and the second pair of legs being joined to the second plate.
