Abstract
The chair is formed with a base and a folding back, both made of strength members, such as metal tubing. Seat fabric is attached to the base, and back fabric is attached to the back. A storage bag is detachably attached to the back and, when the chair is in the folded position, the bag can swing over the seat and detachably attach to the seat to hold the chair in the folded position. Shoulder carrying straps are attached to the back for convenient carrying of the chair in the folded position.
Claims17
A chair with a storage bag comprising:
- a base frame having at least opposing side frame member sand a plurality of leg members interconnected with said side frame members;
- a seat carried by the side frame members of said base frame to support a sedentary person, said seat having a top side and an underside;
- a back frame having opposing side rails and a top rail extending therebetween;
- a back rest extending between the side rails of said back frame;
- means for pivotally connecting said back frame to said base frame so that said back frame rotates from a folded position, where said back rest faces the top side of said seat in substantially parallel alignment with said seat, to an unfolded position, where said back rest and said seat are aligned substantially perpendicular to one another;
- a storage bag pivotally attached to the top rail of said back frame to depend therefrom, said storage bag facing said back rest in parallel alignment therewith when said back frame is in said unfolded position relative to said base frame, and said storage bag rotated around said top rail for facing the underside of said seat in parallel alignment therewith when said back frame is in said folded position;
- first fastening means located on said storage bag;
- and
- second fastening means located at the underside of said seat,
- said first and second fastening means being mated together to attach said storage bag to the underside of said seat and thereby retain said back frame in said folded position relative to said base frame.

A folding chair comprising:
- a base frame having at least opposing side frame members and a plurality of leg members interconnected with said side frame members;
- a seat carried by the side frame members of said base frame to support a sedentary person, said seat having a top side and an underside;
- a back frame having opposing side rails and a top rail extending therebetween;
- a back rest extending between the side rails of said back frame below the top rail thereof;
- means for pivotally connecting said back frame to said base frame so that said back frame rotates from a folded position, where said back rest faces the top side of said seat in substantially parallel alignment with said seat, to an unfolded position, where said back rest and said seat are aligned substantially perpendicular to one another;
- first and second shoulder straps attached to said back frame for carrying said chair when said back frame is in said folded position relative to said base frame, said first and second shoulder straps having first ends attached to the top rail of said back frame and second ends attached to said base frame;
- a storage bag pivotally attached to the top rail of said back frame to depend therefrom, said storage bag facing said back rest in parallel alignment therewith when said back frame is in said unfolded position relative to said base frame, and said storage bag rotated around said top rail for facing the underside of said seat in parallel alignment with said seat when said back frame is in said folded position;
- and
- means for attaching said storage bag to the underside of said seat to thereby retain said back frame in the folded position relative to said base frame.

A chair comprising:
- a base frame having at least two opposing side frame members and leg members interconnected with said side frame members;
- a seat carried by the side frame members of said base frame to support a sedentary person, said seat having a top side and an underside;
- a back frame having at least a pair of opposing side rails;
- a back rest extending between the side rails of said back frame;
- means for pivotally connecting said back frame to said base frame so that said back frame rotates from a folded position, where said back rest faces the top side of said seat in substantially parallel alignment with said seat, to an unfolded position, where said back rest and said seat are aligned substantially perpendicular to one another;
- a storage bag attached to said back frame and facing the underside of said seat in parallel alignment with said seat when said back frame is in said folded position relative to said base frame;
- first fastening means located on said storage bag and second fastening means located on the underside of said seat, said first and second fastening means being mated together to attach said storage bag to the underside of said seat and thereby retain said back frame in said folded position;
- and
- first and second shoulder straps extending between said base frame and said back frame for carrying said chair when said back frame is in said folded position.
