Outdoor recliner with pillow carrier

Abstract

A reclining chair has a frame capable of folding from an deployed condition to a collapsed condition transportable in a carrier bag. The carrier bag is compressible so that when compressed the carrier bag can be stored in a receptacle of the reclining chair to provide a cushioned headrest to the reclining chair.

Description

BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0001]The invention relates to folding furniture. Particular embodiments of the invention relate to folding chairs.Discussion of Art[0002]Beach and lawn chairs adapted to be folded for transportation and / or storage typically have a frame fabricated from elongated structural members, preferably metal. The frames of such chairs have transversely spaced apart left hand and right hand frame side assemblies that are substantially parallel to each other. In a set-up condition, each side frame assembly has a front leg member extending in a generally vertically upward direction and a rear leg member pivotally connected at its upper end directly or indirectly to an upper end of the front leg member and which is rearwardly and downwardly inclined from the upper end of the front leg member. Such side frame assemblies also include an upwardly extending chair back support member which is pivotally connected at its lower end to the rear leg member intermediate the ends of...

[0012]Thus, it is desirable to provide a folding chair (preferably a unifoldable chair) that has a headrest while in use. Also it is desi

Problems solved by technology

However, even though such chairs are foldable for easy transport, they typically still cover a wide area and thus take up a lot of space when folded, which makes packing or storing the chairs difficult, especially when they must be crammed into a space such as the trunk of a car with a number of other objects such as a cooler, blankets and bags.

When packing the folded chair into a car, the folded chair must be laid flat, thereby occupying a wide footprint in the car.

However, these chair designs are typically not suitable for certain outdoor uses, such as at the beach or at a picnic, where a reclinable backrest is desired.

Heretofore, multi-directional foldable chairs have not been capable of reclining
