Embodiment Construction

[0020]A chair made in accordance with the present invention is generally indicated by the numeral 10. Chair 10 includes a first frame generally indicated by the numeral 11 which is spaced from a second frame generally indicated by the numeral 12. Frame 11 includes a lower tubular portion 13 which is spaced from a lower tubular portion 14 of frame 12. Frame 11 also includes an upper tubular portion 15 which is spaced from an upper tubular portion 16 of frame 12. Frame portions 13 and 15 of frame 11 are interconnected by a curved frame portion 17, and frame portions 14 and 16 of frame 12 are interconnected by a curved frame portion 18. Frame portions 13, 15, and 17 are preferably formed as a continuous piece of oval metallic tubing thereby creating frame 11 as a continuous integral member. Likewise, frame portions 14, 16, and 18 are preferably formed as a continuous piece of oval metallic tubing thereby creating frame 12 as a continuous integral member. As shown, for strength and bend...

Abstract

A chair (10) includes spaced frames (11, 12) each of which have a lower portion (13, 14) and an upper portion (15, 16). The upper (15, 16) and lower (13, 14) frame portions are interconnected by curved portions (17, 18) which extend upwardly and inwardly from the lower frame portions (13, 14) to the upper frame portions (15, 16) so that the lower frame portions (13, 14) are spaced from each other further than the spacing of the upper frame portions (15, 16). A seat (21) is carried by the upper frame portions (15, 16), and caster assemblies (42) are carried by the lower frame portions (13, 14). Spreader bars (36, 37) extend between and attach the lower frame portions (13, 14) to each other. A tray (30) is carried by the lower frame portions (13, 14) and has opposed edges (32, 33) which are received around the lower frame portions (13, 14).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to a chair. More particularly, this invention relates to such a chair which is mobile and rugged, and which is therefore particularly suitable for use by a mechanic in the garage environment.BACKGROUND ART[0002]There are a wide variety of mobile chairs, which are specially designed for use by mechanics, that are known in the art. Most typically, a base frame carries a plurality of casters and, much like an office chair, a pedestal extends upwardly from the frame and carries a seat at the top thereof. Oftentimes, the height of the pedestal, and therefore the seat, is adjustable.[0003]Still other configurations include spaced U-shaped frames. One branch of the frames carries casters to render the chair mobile while a seat spans the other branch of the frames.[0004]Both these and other styles of such chairs are often unstable and not sturdy enough to continually withstand the rigors of use in the garage of a mechanic. As such, these chairs re...
