Abstract

A chair. Left and right adjustable swing arms are attached to the chair back and each is moveable between a rest position at about 90 degrees relative to the chair back and an extended position at about 180 degrees relative to the chair back. The left and right adjustable swing arms each further comprise an arm rest and an arm rod. Each rod defines a first segment and a second segment at 90 degrees relative to the first segment. The first segment of each arm rod is disposed longitudinally within the left arm and right arm rests. A left and a right swing arm support is attached to the chair back with the second segment of each arm rod is pivotably mounted to the respective left and right swing arm supports to allow the left and right swing arms to pivot between the rest position and the extended position.
