Lazy Chair Braking Cam Design

Here's the final design for the shape of our cam that acts as a brake for our Miniature Lazy Chair.


When the lever is pushed, the chair collapses and the cam shape rotates into a silicon rubber. A torsion spring then tries to push the wheel away from the silicon rubber, returning the chair back to it's initial standing position.

We initially designed the shape in 2D CAD, had the parts laser cut, then left it to our craftsmen to add the final tweaks to the cam shape,,, these tweaks allow the chair to raise slowly, like it's really Lazy!

We were delighted to see this very nice article published yesterday by Spoonfork Magazine.

Spoonfork is an award winning German online magazine focussed on design, fashion and music... with such a name, they've obviously got very good taste.
