In a quickly-foldable swing chair, the improvement comprising:
- a frame having a pair of parallel sides, spaced one from the other, and said sides of the frame having mounted thereon, at least one chair,
- each of said chairs defining opposite sides, and having:
- a pair of front legs and a pair of rear stiles, each front leg and each stile individually defining a top end and a bottom end opposite thereto, and a front and a rear opposite thereto, and each individually being pivotally mounted about a pivot mounted onto one of said parallel sides,
- each of said stiles defining a flat bottom end having an obtuse angle, as defined between said bottom end and said rear of a stile,
- a stopper defined on said parallel sides of said frame,
- each of said pivots for said stiles receiving a stile, adjacent to said front of said a stile and to said bottom end of said a stile, whereby said stiles rotate from a substantially horizontal to an upwardly, rear inclined, position, being stopped, in said rear inclined position, by said stoppers on said parallel sides of said frame, thus the center of gravity of said chair falling rearwardly in order to obtain a stable equilibrium when in said rear inclined position,
- a pair of side arms, each arm having one end and another end:
- on one of said opposite sides of said chair, one of said side arms being at one end rotatably mounted to one front leg of said pair of front legs, near said top end of said one front leg of said pair of front legs,
- and said one of said side arms at said another end being rotatably mounted to one stile of said pair of stiles corresponding on the same side of the chair,
- and on the other of said opposite sides of said chair, the other side arm of said pair of side arms being at one end rotatably mounted to said top end of the other front leg,
- and said other side arm of said pair of side arms, at said another end, being rotatably mounted to the other stile;
- a back bridging said stiles,
- a seat mounted on a pair of opposite side frames:
- each of said side frames for said seat, having one end and opposite thereto, another end,
- one of said side frames, at said one end, being rotatably mounted to one of said stiles, below said one side arm, and the other side frame at said one end being rotatably mounted to the other of said stiles below said other side arm,
- and a releasable holding means for holding said side frames of the seat, near said another end, to their corresponding front legs, for a suitable positioning of the seat, when in said upwardly, rear inclined position,
- whereby said chair is quickly foldable by releasing said releasable holding means for holding said side frames of the seat, and frontwardly bringing down the stiles, from said upwardly, rear inclined, position, to a substantially horizontal position, and thereby said pair of front legs, said seat, and said pair of side arms,
- and vice versa, said chair is erected by lifting up said stiles until for each of said stiles defining a flat bottom end, their flat bottom end rests against one of said stoppers defined on said parallel sides of said frame, and the stiles reach said upwardly, rear inclined, position, and the seat is locked by actuating said releasable holding means,
- on each of said opposite sides of said chair, a parallelogram being defined with one of said front legs, one of said stiles, one of said side arms, and the space on said frame as defined between said one of said front legs and said one of said stiles,
- said back bridging said stiles, thus bridging the parallelogram on each of said opposite sides of said chair,
- upon folding of the chair, the angles on said parallelograms changing, and correspondingly those of the front legs, and of the stiles with the side frames defining said parallelograms.
