Abstract: A device which may be used as a backpack frame in a first functional position and as a chair with backrest in a second functional position, while still providing ready access to the backpack, supported by the frame. The device is comprised of a generally rectangular outer leg frame, and an inner leg assembly, whose over-all width is marginally narrower than the horizontal inside dimensions of the outer leg frame side members, allowing pivotal connection of the respective frames, and having a seat frame member, pivotally supported by the upper end portions of the inner leg assembly, and guidably contained within the upper portions of the outer leg U channels, which form the outer leg frame side members.
