Abstract
The portable case which can be converted into a chair comprises two separable half-shells (1, 2) capable of being fitted back-to-back in an adjustable manner by complementary assembly structure. One of the half-shells (2) comprises two articulated elements (7, 8) mounted about parallel hinges situated on two opposite sides of the half-shell so as to form, in the folded-out position, support surfaces of the chair thus assembled.

A device which includes a case which is convertible into a chair, comprising,
- a first half-shell;
- a second half-shell which is separably mounted on the first half-shell in a case-forming configuration where they are connected together in a front-to-front relationship;
- both of said half-shells having backs which include assembly means for mounting the shells in a chair configuration where they are in a back-to-back relationship,
- said assembly means including:
- a depression on the back of the first half-shell which corresponds in shape to the back of the second half-shell, and
- adjustment means for effecting a change in inclination of the second half-shell relative to the first half-shell, said adjustment means including a groove in one said half-shell and a rib on one said half-shell, said rib lying in said groove.
