Abstract: A collapsible chair is described, comprising a carrying frame which receives a covering (4) for a hood-like windshield and is made of support frames (1) mutually swivelable between a storage position and a sitting position and forming a foot part (1). In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the frame structure comprises at least four support frames (1) whose frame planes extending transversally to the base intersect each other in the region of a central axis (5), that the support frames (1) form a tensioning bracket (3, 3a) for the covering (4) starting from the outside of the foot part (2), which bracket acts upon two directly adjacent tensioning brackets (3a) releasing an access opening (10) between themselves, and that the foot parts (2) and tensioning brackets (3, 3a) are linked to each other in the region of the central axis (5).
