Benefits of technology

[0011]The basic chair adjustment mechanism structure, and some of these additional features, avoid or substantially eliminate finger pinch.

Problems solved by technology

Simple mechanisms enable the user to “sit up” and to move the back support rearward to obtain a fully or partly reclined position wherein the user “lays back.” However a problem has arisen regarding finger pinch accidents in the chair adjustment mechanism typically disposed between the armrest frame and either the forward facing legs or the rearward facing legs.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]The present invention relates to a folding chair, and more particularly, a folding beach chair with a bulbous chair adjustment mechanism.

[0024]FIGS. 1-4 are discussed concurrently herein. Similar numerals designate similar items throughout the drawings. The folding chair which, in the illustrated embodiment, is a folding beach chair, is designated as chair 10. A bulbous chair adjustment mechanism 12 enables the chair to be laid-back (as shown in FIG. 2) or to be configured in an upright position (as shown in FIG. 3). Chair 10 has back support frame 20 upon which is mounted a flexible back support 22. Back support 22 as well as back support frame 20 is adapted to support a back of a seated person. As shown in FIG. 1, back support frame 20 is U-shaped and the back support frame 20 has depending legs (not numbered) and an U-shaped bar spanning the U-shaped legs (the top cross bar not numbered). Flexible back support 22 loops around the top of the U-shaped bar of back support fram...

Abstract

A folding chair with a bulbous chair adjustment mechanism. A chair back support frame pivotally attached to seat support frame covered with user support fabric or webbing. The X-frame chair has pivotal forward and rearward leg frames. A terminal vertical fore-leg end has a bulbous cap thereon. Armrest frames pivot on back support frame and the adjustment mechanism includes the bulbous cap and a yoke (stem and tines). The stem pivots on the armrest. The tines pivot on the bulbous cap and fore-leg end. The bulbous cap encloses the U-shaped tine space and substantially fills the U-shaped space such that armrest rotation relative to the forward leg frame causes yoke to swing forward and rearward and move back support frame up-and-back. The cap enclosed U-shaped tine space avoids finger pinch.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a folding chair and, more particularly, a folding beach chair with a bulbous chair adjustment mechanism which avoids or significantly reduces finger pinch accidents.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Folding chairs typically include forward facing legs (“forward” being relative to the ground plane or relative to the feet of the user) and rearward facing legs (the rearward legs being on the ground behind the forward legs which are near the user's feet). Generally the forward legs and the rearward legs form a folding X-frame structure with an upper region of the forward facing legs forming aback support frame. A seat frame is typically pivotally attached to the rearward facing legs and is pivotally attached at an intermediate position to the forward facing legs in a manner such that if the user lifts up the forward most portions of the seat frame while maintaining the back support frame relatively stable, the chair collapses and the forward leg fra...
