Abstract
A chair which is fixed in a single location yet which may be selectively positioned to face any direction includes a seat member, a back member, and two or three legs, a first leg of which is structured to provide an approximately vertical pivot axis disposed at the rear of the chair midway between its sides. A cross member secured perpendicular to the first leg proximate the upper edge of the seat back defines a horizontal axis about which the chair can be pivoted. Arm rests provide grip means disposed toward the front of the chair at a position which gives the user a mechanical advantage so as to easily effect simultaneous pivotal movement about the horizontal and vertical pivot axes. Lightweight in construction, the chair can be readily positioned by the user in any desired direction with an easily executed movement.
