Portable chair with integral storage case

Abstract

A lightweight collapsible compact chair with back support and elevation off the ground is provided by first and second substantially rigid hollow elongated members, and a flexible seat having opposite ends attached respectively to each of said first and second members. First and second vertical posts are provided and each has a lower end portion which is connectable to one of said first and second members. A flexible back is provided having opposite ends each connected respectively to one of said first and second vertical posts. A mechanism is provided for connecting said first and second members together to cause the flexible seat to become outstretched and for mounting said first and second posts to said one of said first and second members. The chair thus collapses by removal of the interlocking posts from the one of the first and second members, followed by an accordion-like compaction of the firsts and second members, to store all the components in a compact elongated casing with an optional shoulder strap.
