Deck chair
A deck chair, which includes a base frame, a seat frame horizontally affixed to the base frame at the top, a head frame pivoted to the seat frame and selectively positioned in one of a series of angular positions, a folding extension frame unit pivoted to the seat frame opposite to the head frame and selectively positioned in one of a series of angular positions, and a soft mattress covering the head frame, the seat frame and the folding extension frame unit.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a chair and more particularly, to a deck chair that can selectively be set in different positions for different purposes, or set in a received condition to reduce space occupation when not in use.
2. Description of the Related Art
In order to save storage space, a chair may be made folding collapsible. A commercial folding chair is known comprising a horizontal seat frame, a vertical back frame fixedly provided at the rear side of the seat frame, and two leg members pivotally arranged in a crossed status and respectively pivotally connected to the bottom side of the seat frame. This design of folding chair still occupies much storage space when collapsed because the vertical back frame and the horizontal seat frame are fixedly fastened together and not adjustable relative to each other.
There are also known commercial deck chairs that can selectively be set in different positions for different applications. However, these conventional deck chairs occupy much storage space when received.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a deck chair that can be set in a received condition to reduce space occupation when not in use. It is another object of the present invention to provide a deck chair that can selectively be set in different positions for different applications. To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, the deck chair comprises a base frame, a seat frame horizontally affixed to the base frame at the top, a head frame pivoted to the seat frame and selectively positioned in one of a series of angular positions, a first extension pivoted to the seat frame opposite to the head frame and selectively positioned in one of a series of angular positions, a second extension frame pivoted to the first extension frame opposite to the seat frame and selectively positioned in one of a series of angular positions, and a soft mattress covering the head frame, the seat frame and the extension frames.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring to
Referring to FIGS. 2˜4 and
Referring to FIGS. 2˜4 again, when installed, the user can turn the head frame 30 and the extension frames 41 relative to one another and relative to the seat frame 20 to change the shape of the soft mattress 50.
Although a particular embodiment of the invention had been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
