The frame of the chair has a seat attached thereto, and a back pivotally attached thereto. The back of chair is curved and can tilt backwards, but is limited by the frame which, through the back, has a lesser radius of curvature and is angled downward, thus providing stop action for back rotation.

[010] The said chair is made of PP with Fibre Glass Reinforcement and UV technique. The said chair is a monoblock made as a single piece and does not require assembly. The injection moulding machine and mould are used to manufacture the chair. The dimensions of said chair are as follows:
1. Height: 800 mm;
2. Width: 500 mm; and
