Abstract
A chair is provided which includes a first floor and seat engaging frame member and a second floor and seat engaging frame member pivotally joined to one another to permit collapsing of the chair from an erected seating position to a substantially coextensive position. In addition, the first and second frame members each include a substantially straight bight end portion angled with respect to the respective frame members. Also included is a seat surface-providing member of a shape having a first pocket for engaging and enclosing an extremity of the first bight of the first frame member and at a second end a second pocket for engaging and enclosing an extremity of the second bight of the second frame member. The first and second bight end portions provide the only support for the seat-supporting member.
