Abstract: Knock-down and stackable light-weight chairs of plastic and welded aluminum construction having replaceable side frame decorative inserts are disclosed. In knock-down chairs, decorative inserts which are releasably lockable to the side frames prevent their inadvertent removal during use to prevent loss or damage. In chairs constructed of welded aluminum, the removable decorative inserts enable stacking of plural chairs shipping in a single carton, as well as minimizing storage space by the ultimate user.

Abstract: A chair having a seat section, a base section and a support structure interconnecting the seat and base sections for rockably supporting the seat section relative to the base section is disclosed. The support structure includes a resilient member that is generally W-shaped, as viewed in plan, and generally U-shaped, as viewed in elevation. The resilient member includes first and second transversely spaced outer legs fastened to the seat section, and first and second inner legs positioned intermediate the first and second outer legs, when viewed in plan. The inner legs are fastened to the base section. In the preferred embodiment the base section includes upper and lower portions which are pivotable relative to one another. In this case the first and second inner legs are fastened to the upper portion of the base section so that the seat section may be swiveled relative to the lower portion of the base section.

Abstract: A light-weight, weather-proof piece of lawn furniture is constructed of hollow rigid outer polyvinylchloride extrusions which are heated and pulled over metal rods forming members having the same shape as the metal rods. The metal reinforced polyvinylchloride extrusions are connected to form the frame of, for example, a chair. Straps are connected across portions of the frame to form a back and a seat of the chair.

Abstract: A chair structure is disclosed. The chair structure is provided with a chair seat section including first and second transversely spaced legs, a transverse cross brace fixed to and rigidly interconnecting the legs, first and second transversely spaced seat side support members having respective first and second end portions thereon, and a fabric extending between the seat side support members and forming a seat therebetween. The cross brace comprises an elongate member having a decorative outer side, first and second spaced apart end sections and an inner side. The inner side of the cross brace includes a support surface thereon for supporting the end portions of the seat side support members on the end sections of the elongate cross brace member, with the end portions of the seat side support members being substantially shielded from view, in front elevation, by the decorative outer side of the cross brace.

Abstract: An improved multiple seat chair structure is disclosed which includes a pair of longitudinally spaced, vertically oriented, end support members; a longitudinally extending brace member fixed to and interconnecting the end support members; at least one intermediate support member positioned between the end support members, each of the intermediate support members including a vertically extending leg member thereon having an upper end portion; first and second seat sections carried by the various support members, the seat sections each including first and second side rail members thereon and a seat member extending between and supported by the side rail members; and at least one generally wedge-shaped fitting rigidly interconnecting the leg member, the brace member and at least one of the side rail members from each of two of the seat sections.

Abstract: A structural member adapted for constructing lawn furniture, outdoor gym equipment and the like includes a hollow, rigid outer member provided with a reinforcing coextruded integral inner member. The structural member is fabricated from plastic material, such as polyvinylchloride extrusions, so as to be light-weight, durable, impervious to weather conditions and suitable for mass production techniques. A threaded plug may be inserted within the inner member to facilitate rigid interconnection of the structural members to provide furniture having a rugged and sturdy design.

Abstract: A dissassemblable chair structure is provided having a conventional lower chair seat section and an upper chair back section. Manually releasable fastening means are provided for detachably assembling the upper chair back section without the use of tools. The lower chair seat section includes legs, a seat portion and, optionally, arm rests, all of which are permanently fastened together. The upper chair back section includes a U-shaped frame member the legs of which are preferably sufficiently flexible to allow them to be moved toward or away from one another slightly during assembly of the upper and lower sections of the chair to compensate for manufacturing tolerance misalignments that may exist between the two sections. A lower cross bar member and resilient straps may be provided on the upper seat back section to increase the strength and comfort of the seat back section.
