German term

Kniewippe

German to English Tech/Engineering Furniture / Household Appliances
Es geht um eine Kurzbeschreibung von Bürodrehstühlen:

Kniewippe: arretierbar, gewichtsabhängig regulierbar, höhenverstellbar

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ein einfaches "tilt" hier ausreichend ist.
Proposed translations (English)
3 Adjustable kneeling surface
References
knee- tilt/ knee tilt?

It wouldn't be referring to a kneeling chair would it? http://www.ergonomickneelingchairs.org/articles/evolution-of...
Armorel Young Jul 8, 2015:
knee tilt I think frreekfluweel and Jacek are probably right - it looks as though a chair with knee-tilt is one that where the seat will rock back and forth while you keep your feet on the floor.
Coqueiro Jul 8, 2015:
toggle lever mechanism perhaps? If Kniewippe is used as a synonym for Kniehebelmechanismus.

knee tilt? http://www.ergocentric.com/catalogue.asp?id=264

Adjustable kneeling surface

Hi everybody,
Could this be referring to the kneeling surface of this kind of chair?
If you look at the picture there is a knob under the kneeling surface. Which would fit with the "kniewippe" being lockable, weight released/ adjustable ( Kneel on it and your weight releases a locking mechanism) and height adjustable.
