Abstract
A collapsible chair (10), having a frame assembly (16) including a number of frame members (20), the upper ends of the frame members (20) being pivotally attached to upper pivot assemblies (36, 38), and the lower ends being pivotally attached to lower pivot assemblies (30, 32). The frame members (20) are connected such that the frame assembly (16) as a whole expands outwardly from a central area (40) when the chair (10) is unfolded. The frame assembly (16) further including rear members (28) and front support members (50), and a pair of rigid arm rest members (46, 146). A pair of pivot mechanisms (70) and a pair of slide-pivot mechanisms (72) attach the rigid arm rest members (46, 146) to the frame assembly (16) such that the rigid arm members (46, 146) are allowed to slide and pivot as the chair (10) collapses or expands.
