Teacher reinvents the chair to stopclass clowns

(Reuters) - A teacher has designed a school chair that is physically impossible to tip

backwards in the hopes of getting pupils to sit still, prevent dangerous accidents and give

teachers a quieter life.

Tom Wates quit his teaching post in London to design the 'Max' chair to stop students

from clowning around in class.

"The reason I went into it was because of the irritation of children leaning back," Tom

Wates, who quit his teaching post in London to design the 'Max' chair, told Reuters.

"You would get into the flow of the lesson, the kid would fall off the chair, everyone would

laugh and you would have to start again," the former maths and physical education

instructor said.

The new 'Max' chair provides more support in the lower back, forcing children to sit up

straight and its rear two legs are slightly splayed outwards, preventing any tilting.

Wates said it is physically impossible to swing the chair backwards more than a few

centimetres.

He said each year 7,000 school children need to go to hospital after injuring themselves

by tipping backwards on chairs.

Swivel chairs in most offices have five feet to prevent such tilting, but most schools can't

afford these designs.

The ergonomic Max chair costs just 15 pounds, and before it has even been properly

launched Wates' company , DLB Limited, has already received orders for 1,500 chairs

from 18 schools.

The futuristic design comes in blue, red, green, black and white with chrome legs and

DLB said it suitable for children and adults of all ages.

"We just tried to make the school chair much funkier but also much safer," Wates said.
