Abstract
A folding chair has three U-shaped frame members supporting the seat and back rest and providing arm supports, and two connecting links controlling folding and unfolding for storage and use. Flexible material for the seat and back rest is removably attached to two cross members and to one frame member. Two frame members which form the legs cross and are pivoted together at the sides of the chair, and fold or scissor together front-to-back for folding and storage of the chair. The base of the U of the third frame member in a use position extends across the chair behind the back rest, and the sides form arm rests and extend forwardly to pivot connections at the front of the chair. A pair of links joins and supports the arms adjacent the rear frame member. For storage, the arm frame moves rearwardly and down about the links, folding the two leg frames together until the front pivot connections pass behind the back rest. The arm frame and links lock the first and second leg frame members together. The chair can stand upright on its legs in its folded position.
