When the chair is used as a rocking chair, the rocker member is swung from said housed position and the arcuate portion of the rocker member is allowed to project downwardly from the bottom section of its corresponding leg to contact the floor. A supplemental rocker element is detachably fitted to the rear end portion of each rocker member.

Abstract: A folding chair having a pair of X-shaped cross leg braces wherein the front and rear upper end portions of the leg braces are respectively connected to the front and rear end portions of a pair of arm rest bars by connecting means so as to cause them to swing relative to each other. When the folding operation of the chair is performed by each connecting means, both arm rest bars can approach each other in a manner that two planes including the respective arm rest bar are parallel to each other. The inclination of the seat can be varied by manually operating the connecting means on the back of the chair.
