Abstract

A folding chair of the type having a frame constructed of pivotally connected scissors like "X"-shaped structure strut members supporting a sling seat, the lower ends of which form two front feet and two rear feet and the upper ends of which form two front seat corners and two rear seat corners of the chair. The folding chair includes a pair of upright telescopic supports mounted between the two front seat corners and the two front feet. The upright telescopic supports extend when the frame is folded and collapse telescopically when the chair is deployed. A pair of uprights may extend up from the rear feet and through the rear seat corners so as to extend above the rear of the sling seat to provide a backrest.
