This disclosure relates to portable chairs. More specifically, aspects of this disclosure relate to portable and collapsible chairs.
Portable chairs are commonly used during events and activities where seating is desirable, but not always provided, such as tailgating, camping, going to the beach, and other outdoor activities. In most cases, the chairs may be uncomfortable and have limited ability to adjust the seating position. Additionally, the chairs may have poor durability reducing the long-term viability of the chair. Accordingly, overall user satisfaction with some portable chairs is low and the frequency of replacement is high.
The following presents a simplified summary of various aspects described herein. This summary is not an extensive overview, and is not intended to identify key or critical elements or to delineate the scope of the claims. The following summary merely presents some concepts in a simplified form as an introductory prelude to the more detailed description provided below.

Generally, this disclosure generally relates to a portable chair that has an unfolded or use position and a folded or transport position. The portable chair may be easily folded and carried by a user to any location and then easily be unfolded to provide comfortable seating.
As shown in
The seat assembly 120 may include a seat fabric member 122 and a seat frame 124, where the seat frame 124 includes a forward rail 126, a rear rail 128 opposite the forward rail 126, a first side seat rail 130 extending between the forward rail 126 and the rear rail 128, and a second seat side rail 132 extending between the forward rail 126 and the rear rail 128 opposite the first side seat rail 130. The back assembly 134 may include a back fabric member 136 and a back frame 138, where the back frame 138 includes a top rail 140, a first side back rail 144 extending downward from the top rail 140, and a second side back rail 146 downward from the top rail 140 opposite the first side back rail 144.
The seat fabric member 122 and the back fabric member 136 may be secured to the seat frame 124 and the back frame 138 respectively with a plurality of fabric retention members 150. For example, the seat fabric member 122 may have a plurality of sides 152, such that each side 152 has an end portion 154 that is secured to each of the forward rail 126, rear rail 128, the first side seat rail 130, and the second side seat rail 132 respectively using a fabric retention member 150. Similarly, the back fabric member 136 may have a plurality of sides 156, such that each side 156 has an end portion 158 that is secured to each of the top rail 140, the first side back rail 144, and the second side back rail 146 using fabric retention member 150.
The chair 100 may be easily converted from the use position shown in
For further example, chair 100 may be configured to open from a folded portable position into an unfolded seating position. In the folded portable position, the front legs 102, 104 may be substantially parallel to back legs 108, 110 and seat assembly 120 may be substantially parallel to back assembly 134. Additionally and/or alternatively, the one or more detents may be included in the attachment interface between front legs 102, 104 and the front leg attachment portions 180, 182.
The two front legs 102, 104, the two back legs 108, 110, the front sled 106, the back sled 112 along with the rails of the seat frame 124 and back frame 138 may be cylindrical rods, tubes, and/or shafts, or other hollow shape. The front legs 102, 104 and front sled 106 may be formed as a single member. Similarly, the back legs 108, 110 and back sled 112 may be formed as a single member. These components may be made of, for example, aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, scandium, metal alloys, polymers, composites, carbon fiber, and/or wood, such as bamboo. In instances in which aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, scandium, and/or metal alloys are used in the fabrication of the two front legs 102, 104, the two back legs 108, 110, the front sled 106, the back sled 112 along with the rails of the seat frame 124 and back frame 138, the metallic components may be hydroformed, cast, or formed by another method known to one skilled in the art. Furthermore, the metallic components may be treated through anodizing, plating, painting, powder coating, and/or the application of enamel in order to prevent corrosion induced by environmental conditions such as salt spray. Additionally, the metals and alloys used in the fabrication of the legs 102, 104, 108, 110, the sleds 106, 112, and the rails of the frames 124, 138 may be treated through annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering, normalizing, and/or quenching in order to increase hardness, toughness, and tensile and shear strength.
As shown in
The fabric retention member 150 may be removably coupled to its respective rail of the seat frame 124 and the back frame 138. For example, the first interior cavity 166 of each fabric retention member 150 may engage and partially extend around the forward rail 126, the rear rail 128, the first side seat rail 130, the second side seat rail 132, the top rail 140, the first side back rail 144, and the second side back rail 146. The fabric retention member 150 may then be additionally secured to the respective rails of the seat frames 124, 138 using mechanical fasteners, or other means known to one skilled in the art.
As discussed above, the fabric retention member 150 may have a rounded exterior surface 164, where the exterior rounded surface 164 has a cross-sectional shape that has a constant radius from a central axis. Alternatively, the rounded exterior surface 164 may be defined by a combination of multiple radii or a spline forming a smooth curved surface. The first interior cavity 166 and the second interior cavity 168 may also have partial circular cross-sectional shapes where the first interior cavity 166 has a radius, R1, may be substantially the same as the radius of the rails of the seat frame 124 and back frame 138. Additionally, the radius, R1, of the first interior cavity 166 may be larger than the radius, R2, of the second interior cavity 168. Additionally, since the first interior cavity 166 has only a partial circular cross-section, the first interior cavity 166 may extend approximately 180 degrees around from a first opening edge 167 along the surface of first interior cavity 166 to a second opening edge 169, or the first interior cavity 166 may extend within a range of 120 degrees and 240 degrees. In addition, the second interior cavity 168 may extend approximately 300 degrees around from an inboard opening edge 171 along the surface of the second interior cavity to an outboard opening edge 173 or the second interior cavity 168 may extend within a range of 285 degrees and 330 degrees. Also, the fabric retention member 150 may have a substantially constant cross-sectional shape along the length.
As shown in
The fabric retention member 150 may further include a rounded outboard edge 178 of the opening 172 where the outboard edge 178 may be defined by a radius, R3, where R3 is at least 2 times the thickness of the fabric member 136 (122), or in some embodiments at least 4 times the thickness of fabric member 136 (122), or in some embodiments at least 10 times the thickness of fabric member 136 (122). As an end portion 158 (154) of the fabric member 136 (122) exits the opening 172, the fabric member 136 (122) wraps around the rounded outboard edge 178 and then continues to wrap around the rounded exterior surface 164 before the fabric member 136 (122) extends across an unsupported region between the rails of the back frame 138 (or seat frame 124). The fabric member 136 (122) may wrap around at least 60 percent of the length of the rounded exterior surface 164 before extending into an unsupported region, or the fabric member 136 (122) may wrap around the entire exterior rounded surface 164. As another option, the amount the fabric member 136 (122) wraps around the exterior surface 164 of the fabric retention member 150 before being unsupported may be defined by angle 177. The angle 177 is defined by a first line segment extending from the center of the first interior cavity 166 to the second opening edge 169 and a second line segment extending from the center of the first interior cavity 166 to the rounded outboard edge 178 of the opening 172 where the second line segment is tangent to the outboard edge 178. The angle 177 may be approximately 160 degrees, or within a range of 120 degrees and 200 degrees. By wrapping the fabric member 136 (122), around the rounded outboard edge 178 and/or the rounded exterior surface 164 of the fabric retention member 150 helps to relieve the stress on the fabric member 136 (122) at the opening 172. By relieving the stress on the fabric member 136 (122) at the exit of the opening 172 of the fabric retention member 150, the durability and life of the fabric member 136 (122) may be greatly increased.
In an alternate embodiment shown in
The fabric retention member 150 may be formed from a metallic material, such as aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, scandium, metal alloys, or a non-metallic material such as a polymer or composite material. Because the fabric retention member 150 may have a constant cross-sectional profile throughout its length, it may be formed by an extrusion process if it is metallic or non-metallic. Alternatively, the fabric retention member 150 is formed from a metallic material, the retention member 150 may be formed by a forging, casting, machining, or other near net shape forming process. If the fabric retention member 150 is formed from a non-metallic material, it may be formed using an injection molding process, resin transfer molding, machining, or other molding process.
The fabric members 122, 136 may be a weave-type and/or mesh-like fabric. Additionally, the fabric members 122, 136 may be composed of any of a number of materials including, but not limited to, armored fabric cloth, sail fabric, awning fabric, Kevlar, tarp canvas, vinyl coated polyester, nylon mesh, neoprene, aluminized nylon, and/or cotton canvas. In some embodiments, the material may be treated to provide increased UV stabilization and weathering resistance, fire resistance, abrasion and tear resistance, and waterproofing. In some instances, the fabric members 122, 136 may be composed of a similar materials such that the fabric member 122 of the seat assembly 120 is the same as the fabric member 136 of the back assembly 134. However, in some cases, the fabric member 122 of the seat assembly 120 may be a different material than fabric member 136 of the back assembly 134. For example, fabric member 122 may be made of a first material and/or combination of materials, and fabric member 136 may be made of a second material and/or combination of materials different than the first material and/or combination of materials.
In addition, the portable chair 100 may be arranged in multiple seating positions from an upright position to multiple reclined positions. As shown in
The adjustment of the portable chair 100 may be controlled by the relative position of the sliding pivots 186, 192 that are connected to the front legs 102, 104 and the back legs 108, 110. As discussed above, the front legs 102, 104 and back legs 108, 110 may be pivotally attached to the armrests 184, 190 at their respective sliding pivots 186, 192. Each of the sliding pivots 186, 192 may be slidably engaged with its respective armrest 184, 190. As the sliding pivots 186, 192 move along their respective armrests 184, 190, the back assembly 134 of the chair 100 may adjust from an upright position to a reclined position. For example, as illustrated in
In order to control the position of the sliding pivots 186, 192, at least one or both of the armrests 184, 190 or may include an armrest body 189, 199 and a control assembly 200 for locking the sliding pivots 186, 192 in a fixed location so that the sliding pivots 186, 192 may only move when actively disengaged by a user to allow the sliding pivots 186, 192 to move relative to the armrest body 189, 199 of the respective armrest 184, 190. As described herein, chair 100 may include one of the different control assembly examples 200 (200A-200E) shown in
The sliding pivots 186A, 192A may include a clevis 219A on the lower end with an opening to receive a pin that extends though the clevis 219A and the respective front and back legs 102, 104, 108, 110 to rotatably attach the legs to the respective armrest 184, 190. The sliding pivots 186, 192 may also include a slide member 221A positioned opposite the clevis 219A to engage and at least partially wrap around the guide rail(s) 202A. In some examples, the sliding pivot 186A may include a bushing 217A that engages each guide rail 202 to provide smooth movement of the sliding pivot 186 along the guide rail 202. In addition, the sliding pivots 186A, 192A may also include an engaging portion 223A that supports the engaging teeth 201A. The engaging portion 223A may be located adjacent the clevis 219A, such that the engaging teeth 210A are located outboard of the connection of the front and back legs 102, 104, 108, 110. The guide rail 202A may have a fixed length with stops 225A on each end to prevent the sliding pivots 186, 192 from traveling beyond the length of the guide rail(s) 202A. In some examples, guide rail(s) 202A may be members configured to allow the pivot 186A to slide freely. The guide rails 202A may have a cylindrical shape, rectangular shape, or other geometric shape to allow the pivot 186A to slidably engage the guide rails 202A. In some examples, the guide rails 202A may be integrally formed with the armrest body 189 (199), while in other examples, the guide rails 202A may be formed separately and attached to the armrest. In addition, the overall amount of travel of the sliding pivots 186A, 192A may be expressed as a ratio of the length of the sliding pivot. For instance, the overall travel of the sliding pivots 186A, 192A may be approximately 1.75 times the length of the pivot or within a range of 1.5 and 2.0 times the length of the pivot. The length of the pivot may be defined as a distance from a forward end to a rearward end of the slide member 221A of the sliding pivot 186A, where the length is oriented in a direction from a front to a rear of the armrest 184, 190.
The multiple teeth on each set of engaging teeth 204A, 210A allow the adjustment of multiple reclining positions for the chair 100. The sets of engaging teeth 204A, 210A may be arranged linearly and have coarse arrangement. For example, the teeth may have a frequency of approximately 1.45 teeth per centimeter of length or within a range of 1.3 and 1.7 teeth per centimeter. This coarse arrangement may help the teeth have the adequate strength to support the loads while also providing a variety of reclining positions for a user. In addition, each tooth of engaging teeth 204A may have a chamfered edge 205A on the upper portion of the tooth. Each chamfered edge 205A may be on the side of the tooth nearest the actuation portion 207A of the side paddle 206A (i.e. outboard side of the engaging teeth 204A). In some instances, the engaging teeth 204A on the side paddle 206A may be arranged in an offset configuration with the engaging teeth 210A of the sliding pivot 186A, i.e. the centerline of the two sets of teeth 204A, 210A are spaced apart from each other, while in other instances, the centerline of both sets of engaging teeth 204A, 210A may be aligned with each other. In addition, the length of the engaging teeth 204A on the sliding pivot 186A may be expressed as a relationship of the overall length of the engaging teeth 210A on the armrest 184. For examples, the length of the engaging teeth 204A may be approximately 2.75 times the overall length of the engaging teeth 210A on the armrest 184, or within a range of 2.5 times and 3.0 times the overall length of the engaging teeth 210A on the armrest 184, where the length is oriented in a direction from a front to a rear of the armrest 184, 190.
As shown in
As another feature, the armrest body 189 may have a substantially smooth top surface with a plurality of ribs 214 arranged on the bottom side of the armrest 184. The ribs 214 may be arranged in a honeycomb pattern as shown in

The front legs 302, 304 and the back legs 308, 310 may be pivotally attached to the seat assembly 320. In addition, the portable chair 300 may include a first armrest 384 that is pivotally connected to the first armrest support 377 near the forward end 385 of armrest 384 and also pivotally connected to the back assembly 334 near a rear end 387 of the armrest 384. The first armrest support 377 may be connected to the armrest 384 at the forward connection point, 379 and may be pivotally connected to seat assembly 320 at the second end 381 of the armrest support 377. Similarly, a second armrest 390 may be pivotally connected to a second armrest support 389 near the forward connection point 393 of armrest 390 and that has a first end 391 pivotally connected to seat assembly 320 also pivotally connected to the back assembly 334 near a rear end 395 of the armrest 390. A cam or other locking device may be located at the connection points 379, 393 to secure the chair 300 in the use position. The second armrest support 389 may be connected to the armrest 390 at the first end 397 and may be pivotally connected to seat assembly 320 at the second end 399 of the armrest support 389. Additionally, chair 300 may have a symmetric construction where components on a left side of the chair 300 (i.e. front leg 304) may be mirrored to the components of the right side of the chair 300 (i.e. front leg 302).
As shown in
For further example, chair 300 may be configured to open from a folded portable position into an unfolded seating position. To fold the chair 300, the front legs 302, 304 may fold inward towards the back legs 308, 310 and the back legs 308, 310 may fold inward towards the front legs 302, 304. In the folded position, the front legs 302, 304 may be substantially parallel to back legs 308, 310 and seat assembly 320 may be substantially parallel to back assembly 334 as the back assembly folds onto the seat assembly 320.
To adjust chair 300 from an upright position to a reclined position, the cam or other locking device at the connection points 379, 393 may be loosened to allow the back assembly 334 to rotate away from the seat assembly 320. In an upright position, the back assembly 334 may be arranged at an angle to the seat assembly 320 of approximately 99 degrees and in a fully reclined position, the back assembly 334 may form an angle with the seat assembly 320 of approximately 180 degrees or even greater than 180 degrees. The chair 300 may also be adjusted to a partially reclined position such that the back assembly 334 may form any angle between 99 degrees and 180 degrees with the seat assembly 320. When moving to a reclined position the legs 102, 104, 108, 110 may be in an extended position as shown in
For the embodiment illustrated in
As shown in
As discussed above, the back legs 408, 410 may each include a back leg extension 411.
The back leg extension 411 may extend rearwardly from a rearmost end of the back legs 408, 410. Each back leg extension 411 may extend substantially parallel to a ground plane when the chair is in an unfolded configuration and may form an obtuse angle 413 with its respective back leg 408, 410. For example, as shown
The two front legs 402, 404, the two back legs 408, 410, the front sled 406, the back sled 412 along with the rails of the seat frame 424 and back frame 438 may be cylindrical rods, tubes, and/or shafts, or other hollow shape. The front legs 402, 404 and front sled 406 may be formed as a single member. Similarly, the back legs 408, 410, back leg extensions 411, and back sled 412 may be formed as a single member. These components may be made of, for example, aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, scandium, metal alloys, polymers, composites, carbon fiber, and/or wood, such as bamboo. In instances in which aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, scandium, and/or metal alloys are used in the fabrication of the two front legs 402, 404, the two back legs 408, 410, the back leg extensions 411, the front sled 406, the back sled 412 along with the rails of the seat frame 424 and back frame 438, the metallic components may be hydroformed, cast, or formed by another method known to one skilled in the art. Furthermore, the metallic components may be treated through anodizing, plating, painting, powder coating, and/or the application of enamel in order to prevent corrosion induced by environmental conditions such as salt spray. Additionally, the metals and alloys used in the fabrication of the legs 402, 404, 408, 410, the sleds 406, 412, back leg extensions 411, and the rails of the frames 424, 438 may be treated through annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering, normalizing, and/or quenching in order to increase hardness, toughness, and tensile and shear strength.
Chair 400 may have a chair fabric member 422 that releasably connects to both the seat frame 424 and the back frame 438. The fabric member 422 may extend from the forward rail 426 of the seat frame 424 to the top rail 440 of the back frame 438. The fabric member 422 may also extend across from the first side seat rail 430 to the second side seat rail 432 opposite of the first side seat rail 430 of the seat frame 424 and also extend across the first side back rail 444 to the second side back rail 445 opposite the first side back rail 444.
The chair fabric member 422 may be secured to the seat frame 424 and the back frame 438 respectively with a plurality of fabric retention members 451 that are located along the seat frame 424 and back frame 438. In some examples, the plurality of fabric retention members 451 may be a plurality of complementary mechanical fasteners, wherein each complementary mechanical fastener 451 may include a first mechanical element 451A and a second mechanical element 451B that connect together to form a releasable connection as shown in
In addition, one of a first mechanical element 451A or a second mechanical element 451B of the fabric retention members 451 may be arranged on an inner surface of the first side seat rail 430, the second side seat rail 432, the first side back rail 444, and the second side back rail 446. In some examples, the first or second mechanical elements 451A, 451B may be evenly spaced apart along the first side seat rail 430, the second side seat rail 432 of the seat frame 424 and also evenly spaced apart along the first side back rail 444, and the second side back rail 446 of the back frame 438. In addition, a first set of fabric retention members 451 positioned on the first side seat rail 430 may face and also be aligned with a second set of fabric retention members 451 positioned on the second side seat rail 432. Similarly, a third set of fabric retention members 451 positioned on the first side back rail 444 may face and be aligned with a fourth set of fabric retention members 451 positioned on the second side back rail 446.
