Abstract: A bag convertible into a seat comprising two quadrangular metal frames articulatedly connected to each other midways at opposite side portions of each frame so that the frames may be moved between a closed position in which top and bottom portions of the frames are closely adjacent each other and a spread-apart position, tear resistant flexible material encompassing the frames and forming a bag having an upper open end and including a flap extending over the open end and downwardly over the front wall of the bag, when said frames are in the closed position. At least one, and preferably two, hooks are connected to the inner surface of the flap adjacent the free edge thereof adapted to engage with a top portion of one frame, when the frames are in the spread-apart position, to thereby hold the flap in taught condition over the wide-opened end of the bag for forming a seat.

Abstract: A piece of furniture in which two side walls are joined to respective spaced edges of a back wall extending in a common direction so as to define a channel, and a partition perpendicular to the back and side walls bisects the channel, may constitute a chair for a child when the partition is horizontal to provide a seat, or a table when the piece rests on one of the side walls. Two such pieces can be interengaged to form an approximately cube-shaped hassock if each partition is partly slotted to receive the partition of the other piece.
