Abstract: A folding chair having integral front legs and backrest is disclosed herein. A seat is attached to each leg by a bracket. Each bracket is made up of two parts angular in cross section, each having one flange pivoted to the flange of the other. One flange underlies the seat and is pivoted and slidably connected by means of a pin in a slot to each rear leg. The brackets are so made that the legs fold within each other and the seat folds between the legs so that the folded chair has a thickness which is only as thick as the width of the legs thereby providing a compact package.
