AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a collapsible chair with a canopy that can be extended and closed without needing to remove the canopy from the chair. The canopy is supported by elongate members that can slide to different heights. There are also forward extension members that help rigidify the canopy frame and tension the canopy fabric. This allows the canopy to be easily extended and closed without needing to remove it, and also makes the chair more practical for transportation in small vehicles. The technical effects of the invention are that it provides a convenient and easy-to-use collapsible chair with a canopy that can be extended and closed without needing to remove it, making it more practical for transportation in small vehicles.

Problems solved by technology

This type of canopy has at least one disadvantage in that it must be removed from the chair in order to fold down the canopy for storage due to the way that the resilient continuous peripheral pole frame has to be collapsed by twisting.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]One or more preferred forms of the present invention will hereinafter be described with reference to the accompanying figures. However, the specificity of the following description should not be taken as limiting the generality of the present invention.

[0033]FIGS. 1a to 1f show various views of an embodiment of the present invention. A collapsible camp chair 10 is fitted with a collapsible canopy 12 embodying the present invention. The chair 10 is of a common type of readily portable camp chair often used for temporary seating at picnics, sports events, at the beach etc. The chair 10 has a tubular frame with spaced rear uprights 14a,14b forming the two rear legs and supporting the fabric backrest 16 stretched therebetween. The canopy has a support frame including rear elongate members 18a,18b mounted to the seat rear uprights by respective brackets 20a,20b. In this embodiment, the brackets are attached to the rear uprights by fasteners, particularly bolts or screws; however, t...

Abstract

A chair canopy 12 for a collapsible chair 10, the chair incorporating a collapsible frame with rear uprights 14a,14b. The canopy 12 includes a fabric rear panel 22, and overhead section 26 with front valance 32 and sides 34a,34b. The fabric is supported on a canopy frame having rear uprights 18a,18b slidably attached to the rear uprights of the chair, and front extension members 38a,38b pivotably attached to the rear uprights 18a,18b. Brackets 20a,20b mount the canopy support frame to the chair frame. The brackets have releasable adjustment means to allow the canopy uprights to slide downward for stowage or upright when erecting the canopy. The adjustment means locking the canopy uprights in place at a selected position. The canopy support frame, in use, collapses with collapsing of the chair frame or storage, and opens out when erecting the chair for use.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a chair canopy.BACKGROUND[0002]Canopies have been provided for chairs for many years. Canopies are particularly useful for outdoor seating, such as camp chairs, to protect a user from the elements, such as sun, wind or rain.[0003]Modern examples exist, such as one having a resilient flexible continuous curved pole supporting a fabric canopy, similar in operation to collapsible sunshades for automobiles that fold down to a thin disc. For storage, the flexible pole is twisted to fold down the canopy to a disc to fit into a bag. In use, the canopy is opened out by allowing flexible pole to resiliently unfold to expand and tension the fabric of the canopy. The canopy includes a rear sleeve that slides down over the back of a common type of collapsible camp chair and the overhead portion of the canopy then attaches to sleeve uprights in the form of short upright poles. Side edges of the canopy are attached to respective arms of the ch...
