Load-bearing chair support

A load-bearing support for transporting chairs, said support being formed entirely from a one-piece blank, said support including a generally tubular sidewall defining a hollow interior, a base and a top part disposed in spaced relation from one another at respective opposite ends of said tubular sidewall, said tubular sidewall defining a first wall part for being positioned in opposed relation with a chair back of a first chair, and a second wall part spaced from said first wall part for being positioned adjacent a chair back of a second chair disposed in an inverted orientation relative to the first chair, said support having a geometric center located equidistant from said top part and said base and equidistant from said first and second wall parts, said base being configured for positioning atop a seat of the first chair, and said top part being configured for supportive engagement with a seat of the inverted second chair, each said first and second wall part being defined by a central part and a pair of outer wall parts disposed on respective opposite sides of said central part, said outer wall parts angling inwardly towards the center of said support as same project away from the respective said central part, said central part of each of said first and second wall part being disposed a greater distance from the center of said support than the respective said outer wall parts to provide each of said first and second wall parts with generally outwardly arcuate configurations to conform to respective chair backs of the first and second chairs having respective generally inwardly arcuate configurations.
