Abstract
There is disclosed further improved portable furniture generally comprising at least an originally planar support member having integral portions thereof adapted to be resiliently disposed and releasably secured by interlocking means in angular and/or curvilinear relationship to one another to provide for support, said support member returning to its original planar configuration when said interlocking means are disengaged to facilitate portability.
Claims3
Portable furniture generally comprising at least one uniformly thick originally planar support member and a uniformly thick originally planar furniture member, wherein said furniture member is a chair seat,
- said support member having integral portions adapted to be resiliently disposed in angular and curvilinear relationship to each other providing for support,
- said support member having integral interlocking means for releasably securing said integral portions in said angular and curvilinear relationship,
- said support member able to return to its original planar form when said interlocking means are disengaged,
- said support member generally oriented vertically and said furniture member generally oriented horizontally,
- said interlocking means additionally releasably securing said furniture member to said support member,
- said integral portions of said support member comprising a back portion, two L-shaped main portions, and two brace arm portions,
- said back portion and the lower part of said brace arm portions comprised to be relatively more flexible and resilient than said other portions,
- said back portion formed generally fan shaped and connected to the tops of said two "L"-shaped main portions at each end, said "L"-shaped main portions in opposed orientation angling down and inwardly,
- when said furniture is in its assembled mode, said main portions are held vertically opposing each other by said interlocking means on side edges of said chair seat with the back portion in a rearward tilting cylindrical arc connected therebetween,
- said main portions contacting the ground surface in parallel configuration pointing rearwardly with the front edges of said main portions integrally connected to the lower part of said brace arm portions,
- said brace arms adapted to be angularly disposed inwardly with the top ends of said brace arms having interlocking means to the front of the bottom of said chair seat,
- said back portion generally resiliently conforming to the shape of a seated person when said support and furniture members are in their assembled condition,
- said members able to return to their original planar modes when disengaged.
