Sling chair with removable sling

Abstract

A sling chair with a removable sling designed to provide a simple unitary method to remove the sling material for aesthetic and/or maintenance purposes without the use of screws, bolts or hardware in general. The sling chair includes a chair frame with sling rails, including inner and outer channels, a removably attachable sling, and sling fasteners for securing the sling into the sling rails of the chair frame. The removable sling has opposite sling edges having lengthwise extending loops formed therein. A flexible sling rod extends throughout the entire length of the loops. The sling rod is smaller than the inner channels contained within the sling rails to allow insertion of the sling rod into the inner channels thereby removably attaching the sling to the sling rails forming the seatrest and backrest of the chair. The sling fasteners, are attached to the opposite ends of the sling, once the sling is inserted into the inner channels of the sling edges and pulled downwards towards the front seat of the chair frame. The sling is made of a web material strong enough to support the tensile forces created by a person sitting on the sling chair.
