Abstract

A chaise lounge includes a frame, a first sling anchor, a second sling anchor, a sling and a threaded fastener. The frame includes at least two side members. The first sling anchor connects with a first side member and is movable with respect to the frame. The second sling anchor connects with a second side member. The second side member is disposed on an opposite side of the frame from the first side member. The sling is secured to the first sling anchor and the second sling anchor and spans between the first side member and the second side member. The sling defines a support surface on which an associated occupant may selectively reside. The threaded fastener engages the first sling anchor and the first side member. Rotation of the threaded fastener with respect to at least one of the first sling anchor and the first side member results in movement of the first sling anchor with respect to the first side member, which results in movement of the sling with respect to the first side member.

Dependent claims

A chaise lounge comprising:

a frame including at least two side members, at least one cross member connecting the at least two side members and a plurality of legs;
a first sling anchor connected with a first side member of the at least two side members and movable with respect to the frame, wherein the first side member includes a sling anchor-receiving channel and the first sling anchor is received in the sling anchor-receiving channel;
a second sling anchor connected with a second side member of the at least two side members, the second side member being disposed on an opposite side of the frame from the first side member;
a sling secured to the first sling anchor and the second sling anchor and spanning between the first side member and the second side member, the sling defining a support surface on which an associated occupant may selectively reside;
and
a threaded fastener engaging the first sling anchor and the first side member, wherein rotation of the threaded fastener with respect to at least one of the first sling anchor and the first side member results in movement of the first sling anchor with respect to the first side member, which results in movement of the sling with respect to the first side member,
wherein the frame includes:
a primary frame including at least two primary side members connected by at least one primary cross member and the plurality of legs,
a secondary frame including at least two secondary side members connected by at least one secondary cross member, the secondary frame being sized and shaped to be supported by the primary frame, wherein the first side member is one of the at least two secondary side members and includes a fastener-receiving channel offset from the sling anchor-receiving channel, and
a mechanical fastener at least partially received in the fastener-receiving channel securing the first side member to one of the at least two primary side members.
