Abstract: A portable recliner which includes a base frame designed to rest on a supporting surface, a back frame hinged at the lower end to one edge of the base frame, with a cushion provided on the back frame, and an adjustable brace having an extending member projecting downwardly from points of pivot in the back frame for engagement with notches provided in the base frame and handles fitted on the ends of the adjustable brace projecting through the back frame, for effecting adjustment of the extending member in the notches to vary the angle of repose of the back frame with respect to the base frame. In a preferred embodiment a head rest is removably secured to the cushion located on the back frame and the cushion extends beyond the back frame against the supporting surface. In another preferred embodiment a pair of arm rests are pivotally secured to the back frame in engagement with the handles for adjusting the extending member in the notches responsive to pressure applied on the arm rests.
