Abstract
There is disclosed improved portable furniture generally comprising planar one-piece support members having integral portions adapted to be resiliently disposed and releasably secured in angular relationship to each other allowing for support, said portable furniture returning to its planar configuration when the said members are disengaged to facilitate portability.
Claims11
Portable furniture including at least one generally planar support member,
- said planar support member comprising integral main, tab, arm and leg portions resiliently disposable in angular and curvilinear relationship to each other,
- said tab portion comprising a seating surface for supporting an individual therein,
- said main portion being connected to said tab portion and to said leg portions at the upper end of said tab portion,
- said arm portions being connected to the opposite end of said tab portion,
- said portable furniture having integral interlocking means releasably engaging said, arm, leg and main portions for maintaining said angular relationship,
- said portable furniture returnable by means of its resilience to its original planar configuration when said interlocking means are disengaged.

Collapsible furniture comprised of a generally planar support member having integral portions resiliently disposable in angular relationship comprising,
- a main portion shaped substantially like an inverted "U",
- said main portion being resiliently connected to leg portions and to a tab portion at its upper end,
- said tab portion joined to a substantially "U"-shaped arm portion at its opposite end,
- said collapsible furniture having interlocking means for releasably engaging said arm, leg and main portions for maintaining said angular relationship,

2 more elements
A collapsible chair comprising:
- a generally planar one-piece support assembly made of flexible material having a main member, a tab member, leg members, and arm members;
- said tab and leg members adapted to be unfolded away from the plane of said main member to define a bifurcated structure,
- said tab member comprised of a plurality of curvilinear ribs therein for flexibility,
- said tab member forming a curvilinear seating surface for support of the occupant seated therein,
- said arm members having mounting means to releasably engage with securing means on said main and leg members to maintain said main and leg members in a spaced configuration;
- said main and leg members having securing means mating with the mounting means in said arm members to releasably connect and support said tab member therebetween,
- said support assembly being collapsable into a generally planar configuration when said mounting means are disengaged.
