A convertible backpack assembly for carrying items therewithin, yet providing a readily adaptable assembly for conversion into a beach-type chair. The assembly includes a front panel which is disposed generally parallel to a back panel when the assembly is in a backpack configuration. The front panel is rigidly attached to a base. The back panel is pivotally mounted to the base. Armrests are provided which extend forwardly from the back panel when the assembly is converted from a backpack configuration to a chair configuration. When the assembly is in the chair configuration, the armrests are adjustable to move the back panel between reclined and an upright positions. Webbing material is disposed over the frame portions to define the front and the back of the backpack as well as the back and seat of the chair. A bag made of a material such as canvas is placed between the front and back panels when the assembly is in the backpack configuration.

Convertible chair with armrests which converts to a backpack

A convertible backpack assembly for carrying items therewithin, yet provide a readily adaptable assembly for conversion to a beach-type chair. The assembly includes a frame base and forward and rearward frame portions each attached to the frame base by a ratchet arrangement. A pair of leg members extend downwardly from the frame base. The forwardmost leg member is pivotally attached to the frame base so as to be swingable away from the lower back of the carrier of the convertible backpack assembly. Webbing material is be disposed over the frame portions and across the frame base, to define the front and back of the backpack as well as the back, seat and leg support portions of the chair. The seat portion may have its tension adjusted under the frame base, to allow greatest sitter comfort. A pair of side panels of webbing material are removably disposed between the front and rear frame portions to define the sides of the backpack assembly. The side panels may either attach to the sides of webbing material over the front and back frame portions or form part of a separate liner that functions as the container for the backpack between the front and back frame portions.

A convertible backpack assembly for carrying items therewithin, yet provides a readily adaptable assembly for conversion to a 'beach'-type chair. The assembly includes a frame base and forward and rearward frame portions each attached to the frame base by a ratchet arrangement. A pair of leg members extend downwardly from the frame base. The forwardmost leg member is pivotably attached to the frame base so as to be swingable away from the lower back of the carrier of the convertible backpack assembly. Envelopes of webbed material may be disposed over the frame portions and across the frame base, to define the front and back of the backpack as well as the back, seat and leg support portions of the 'chair'. The seat portion may have its tension adjusted under the frame base, to allow greatest sitter comfort. A pair of side panels of webbed material are removably disposed between the forward and rearward frame portions to define the sides of the backpack assembly. The webbed side panels may also be secured together under the frame base.
