Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of the provisional patent application entitled “Portable Folding Lounging Chair”; Ser. No. 60/923,126 filed Apr. 12, 2007.
- 1. Field of Invention
- The present invention relates to chairs and recliners. In particular, it relates to a portable folding lounging recliner employing trapezoidal legs forming a fulcrum base.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Various recliners are known. Nagan et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,246,265 issued Sep. 21, 1993 is a lounge chair with a continuous fabric cover covering a hinged frame, with folding legs and adjustable joints, which doesn't have trapezoidal shaped leg supports, or leg supports held at an obtuse angle relative to the bottom of the seat so that the contact area is wider than the seat support segment to provide additional lateral support. Pedemonte, U.S. Pat. No. 6,402,231, issued Jun. 11, 2002 is a Multi-Function Transportable Recreation Chair of box-like folding construction with a similar leg support construction as Nagan et al. '265. Williams, U.S. Pat. No. 5,042,874 issued Aug. 27, 1991 is a folding beach lounge without legs with seat and leg rests lying on the ground, when unfolded. Wallace, U.S. Pat. No. 6,102,479, issued Aug. 15, 2000 is a locking pivot connection for a cot-chair. Ryan, U.S. Pat. No. 5,947,561 issued Sep. 7, 1999 is an adjustable tanning chair apparatus with face support rollers with folding legs, which don't form a trapezoidal base, or leg supports held at an obtuse angle relative to the bottom of the seat. Levy et al, U.S. Pat. No. 5,429,413 issued Jul. 4, 1995 is a folding lounge chair with crossed leg construction. Nation, U.S. Pat. No. 6,588,034, issued Aug. 8, 2003 is a maternity beach chair of a unique covered frame design structured to accommodate pregnant women lying on their face. Chu, U.S. Pat. No. 6,796,605, issued Sep. 28, 2004, is a folding recliner of a complex frame construction.
- None of these patents provide a portable foldable lounging recliner with a trapezoidal shaped leg supports held at an obtuse angle relative to the bottom of the seat.
- The present invention described below provides a sturdy foldable lounging recliner with foldable trapezoidal shaped legs, which when unfolded, and held at an obtuse angle relative to the bottom of the seat segment of the frame provides adequate support even when placed on uneven ground.
- The present invention is a foldable lounging recliner. It comprises a foldable lounging recliner or chair with a tri-segmented tubular frame. The tri-segmented tubular foldable frame has a tubular U-shaped frame torso segment with open ends sized to accommodate the head and upper torso of a user. The ends of this U-shaped frame torso segment are hingedly attached to the first ends of a pair of sides with first and second ends, the sides of a length to accommodate the seat and posterior of a user. The second ends of the sides are hingedly attached to the ends of a corresponding tubular U-shaped frame leg support segment with open ends and sides sized to accommodate the legs of a user. These hingedly connected frame segments are secured with releaseable locking hinges to hold them open at various angles for a user to sit or recline at a desired angle. Thus, each frame segment is positioned relative to one another and then releasably locked into position, when the frame segments are unfolded for use. For transport and storage, they fold against one another for releasable locking in a storage position.
- The lightweight tubular frame segments are covered with a fabric cover affixed to each tubular frame segment to form a head and upper torso support surface, a seat support surface, and a leg support surface to hold a user, when sitting or lying on the covered frame segments.
- A pair of tubular trapezoidal shaped open top legs with ends and feet is hingedly attached to the sides forming the seat support surface. Each trapezoidal leg has a shorter open top segment than its wider foot, which is structured to maintain better contact with a support surface segment. The tubular trapezoidal shaped leg ends are foldably attached to each side of the U-shaped frame seat segment to form a support base. The tubular trapezoidal shaped legs are restrictively secured to fold open at a maximum obtuse angle of approximately 110 degrees relative to the seat support surface. Thus spread in an open position, the feet contact the ground or support surface at points wider than the seat segment to prevent lateral rolling. For storage and transport, each tubular trapezoid leg is folded flat against the seat support surface in a storage and transport position.
- For added rigidity, the trapezoidal shaped tubular legs may have a closed top segment, which are hingedly attached to the bottom of the frame second segment.
- A preferred embodiment of the locking hinges has a slotted base with slots affixed to the seat edges of the frame in contact with the leg support and head and torso support frame sections. The slots are sized such that a corresponding release rod of a spring retainer assembly attached to the head and torso support and the leg support frame sections releasably slide therein to lock the hinges at the desired angle. A handle is attached to the release rod, which can then be manually pulled to remove the release rod from a desired slot in the slotted bases to allow the hinged frame to be positioned at different angles or folded.
- The portable lounging recliner thus folds open for use and closed for storage. In the stored position, the lounge chair frame folds flat with its trapezoidal shaped legs folding under the seat segment, the leg support segment folding on top of the seat, and the head and torso support segment folding over the leg support segment.
- In the open position, the trapezoidal shaped legs form a sturdy trapezoidal or pyramidal base to support the segmented frame.
- The present invention thus provides a sturdy foldable lounging recliner with foldable trapezoidal legs, which when unfolded, provides adequate support even when placed on uneven ground. In addition the head and torso and leg support segments may be positioned at the desired elevation to accommodate the lounging preferences of a user.
