Abstract
A lightweight compact chair with back support is described, comprising a triangular sling, a frame supporting the sling, and a backrest. The frame is comprised of three support members, preferably of tubular aluminum, and a hinged device to which each of the three support members is attached. When unfolded for sitting, the two front support members lay on the ground at opposing angles to one another, their ends turned upward and acting as legs supporting the sling. The rear support slopes upward from the ground and is extended by a T-shaped member, which provides one of the three supporting points for the sling, as well as providing support for an attached backrest. The three support members are pivotably connected by the hinged device which allows them to be either locked in place, or folded together in substantial parallel alignment to make a compact carrying package.
