Abstract
A portable, foldable chair having a seat back and a seat bottom, is provided, especially appropriate for hunting and similar outdoor uses. The seat bottom has a relieved area toward the rearward area that forms a handle. Flanking this relieved area are two apertures that accept curved brackets extending from the seat back. The brackets pivot within the apertures with pivot stops abutting both the front and back of these apertures when the seat back is in its upright position. When folded, the seat back nests within the seat bottom. Also provided are independently extendable front legs to accommodate uneven terrain, reinforcing seat bottom and seat back ribs, provisions for carrying the seat over the shoulder, vents for draining rainwater or dissipating heat, and use of camouflage colors.

A foldable chair, comprising:
- a seat bottom having a seat bottom contoured surface having an interior and a rearward area, the rearward area having a handle formed by a generally upwardly opening elongate slot, the rearward area having a pair of apertures flanking the elongate slot, each of the pair of apertures defining abutting stops including an aft abutting stop surface at a rearward face of the aperture and a forward abutting stop surface at a forward face of the aperture;
- and
- a seat back having a seat back contoured surface, the seat back having a pair of brackets, each of which extends from the seat back and is received within one of the apertures, the brackets being pivotally connected to the seat bottom for rotation about a pivot axis, the pivot axis laterally bisecting the rearward area and the pair of apertures, the seat back being pivotable between an upright position and a folded position, the brackets projecting through the apertures and being substantially received within the interior of the seat bottom when the seat back is rotated into upright position, the brackets having pivot stops including a forward pivot stop surface and an aft pivot stop surface that contact respectively the forward abutting stop surface and aft abutting stop surface when the seat back is rotated into the upright position.
A foldable chair, comprising:
- a seat bottom having a seat bottom contoured surface having an interior and a rearward area including an aperture, the aperture including a pair of radially opposed abutting stop surfaces;
- and
- a seat back having a seat back contoured surface, the seat back having at least one bracket extending from the seat back and received within the aperture, the bracket being pivotally connected to the seat bottom for rotation about a pivot axis, the pivot axis laterally bisecting the rearward area and the aperture, the seat back being pivotable between an upright position and a folded position, the bracket projecting through the aperture and being received within the interior of the seat bottom when the seat back is rotated into the upright position, the bracket having a pair of radially opposed pivot stop surfaces that contact the pair of radially opposed abutting stop surfaces respectively when the seat back is rotated into the upright position.
