Abstract
The portable seat apparatus includes a telescopic support member and a seat receptacle. The telescopic support member includes a plurality of concentric sections that are extendable and retractable within each other. The concentric sections include a distal section and a proximal section. Adjacent concentric sections are coupled together via interlocking features. A bottom surface of the seat receptacle is coupled to the telescopic support member and a top surface of the seat receptacle is configured to operably engage a user in a seated position. The apparatus is configurable in a sit-mode and a storage-mode. In the sit-mode, the concentric sections are at least partially extended and the telescopic support member is perpendicular to the seat receptacle. In the storage-mode, the concentric sections of the telescopic member are retracted within each other and the seat receptacle is parallel to the telescopic support member.
