Abstract
A collapsible reclining chair (10, 100, 200), has a frame assembly (16) which includes angled frame members (32), the upper ends (37) of the angled frame members (32) being pivotally attached to upper connectors (136,138), and the lower ends (36) being pivotally attached to feet (30). The frame assembly (16) as a whole expands outwardly from a central area (8). The frame assembly (16) also includes upright members (34), and a support surface (18), having a back portion (15). The lower ends (38) of each of the upright members (34) are attached to one of the angled members (32) by a reversible joint (39), so that the reclining chair (10, 100, 200) is movable from an upright position (12) when the reversible joints (39) are in a first position, to a reclining position (14) when the reversible joints (39) have been reversed to a second position.
