Collapsible chaise

A collapsible chaise comprising:

• a rectangular frame having two longer sides and two shorter sides, the frame comprising a fixed lower portion forming a plane connecting the two long sides and one of the two short sides and an adjustable upper portion;
• a pair of elongated legs, joined to the underside of the rectangular frame, along the two longer sides thereof;
• a collapsible cross-member, wherein in an engaged position, the collapsible cross-member provides frictional force against at least one of the elongated legs to prevent the elongated legs from collapsing inward, toward the underside of the plane, and wherein in a disengaged position, the collapsible cross-member enables the elongated legs to collapse inward, toward the underside of the plane;
• and
• wherein engagement of the collapsible cross-member with the pair of elongated legs in the engaged position causes the elongated legs to remain fixed, substantially perpendicular to the plane of the rectangular frame, and disengagement of the collapsible cross-member in the second position causes the pair of elongated legs to collapse inward, toward the underside of the plane along the two long sides of the rectangular frame.

A collapsible chaise comprising:

• a rectangular frame having two longer sides and two shorter sides, the frame comprising a fixed lower portion forming a plane connecting the two long sides and one of the two short sides and an adjustable upper portion;
• a pair of elongated legs, joined to the underside of the rectangular frame, along the two longer sides thereof, the elongated legs formed of:
• at least four leg portions attached by hinges and extending outward from an underside of the rectangular frame, and
• a pair of elongated leg bases, fixed to a base of the at least two leg portions opposite of the hinges, wherein at least two of the hinges are locking hinges joining at least two of the at least four leg portions of elongated legs to the underside of the rectangular frame;
• wherein engagement of the locking hinges in a first position causes the pair of elongated legs to remain fixed, substantially perpendicular to the plane of the rectangular frame, and disengagement of the locking hinges causes the pair of elongated legs to collapse inward, toward the underside of the plane along the two long sides of the rectangular frame;
• and
• a collapsible cross-member, wherein in an engaged position, the collapsible cross-member provides a frictional force against at least one of the at least three legs to prevent the elongated legs from collapsing inward, toward the underside of the plane, and wherein in a disengaged position, the collapsible cross-member moves removing the frictional force and enabling the elongated legs to collapse inward, toward the underside of the plane.
