The application for the patent was published on Aug. 8, under issue no. 32/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A seat back for an office chair is efficiently manufactured and assembled. The seat back includes a tensioner for tensioning a flexible support on the structural frame. The tensioner is connected between the lower edge of the flexible support and the upright members of the frame such that the tensioner stretches the flexible support between the upper and lower edges of the flexible support and maintains the flexible support in tension on the structural frame. An armrest mount may be formed integrally with each of the upright members of the structural frame, and an armrest housing vertically adjustably mounted to each of the armrest mounts. An activation mechanism is positioned adjacent to the lower end of the armrest housing, and is connected to a lock element such that movement of the activation mechanism toward the upper end of the housing causes the lock element to move to an unlocked position."
