Abstract
Twin, thermal-insulated containers held side-by-side for transportation separate to expose deployable pairs of forward projecting and rearward projecting arms that mount a body-supporting web, thus forming a lounge chair whose thermal-insulated containers constitute the sides and arm rests. The arms are connected to toroidal bearings nested in semi-circular cavities in the walls of the containers. Detent nibs projecting from the periphery of the toroidal bearings engage corresponding notches in the bearing cavities when in their deployed lounge chair positions. The body-supporting web and the cross-bar joining the arms can be conveniently stored under the thermal-insulated containers when they are joined together in the transport mode.
