BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a new prototype made up of a chair or lounge chair that may be converted into a table and bar for use in homes, apartment-hotels, booths at fairs and commercial expositions, and offices.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide a convertible chair which reduces the need for space.
It is still a further object of the invention to provide a convertible chair including a chair frame having a pair of spaced front legs having an upper portion; a pair of spaced rear legs opposed from the front legs; a pair of upwardly extending members each having a distal end projecting from the pair of rear legs; and a plurality of connecting members rigidly securing the pair of front and rear legs to the chair. A backrest is provided which is pivotally securable to the frame between the upwardly extending members. The backrest is rotatable from a generally vertical orientation to a substantially horizontal orientation forming a table surface. A panel forming a seat having a front end, and having a substantially horizontal orientation forming a sitting surface is further provided. The seat is pivotally securable to the frame adjacent the pair of front legs by at least one first pivot device. The at least one first pivot device includes a rigid L-shaped member having a first leg and a second leg. The first leg is rotatably secured to the frame about a first center of rotation and the second leg spaces the seat a distance from the frame and is rigidly attached to a bottom surface of the seat. The seat is rotatable to a substantially vertical orientation and selectively engageable with the horizontally orientated backrest, thereby forming a support for the backrest in the horizontal orientation.
Furthermore, with the same quality, it may be more favorable economically. It is a further object of the invention to provide a convertible chair comprising, a chair frame. The frame including a pair of spaced front legs having an upper portion, a pair of spaced rear legs opposed from the front legs, and a pair of upwardly extending members projecting from the pair of rear legs each having a distal end. The pair of front and rear legs being rigidly secured to the frame and fixed with respect thereto. A backrest is provided, having an upper and lower end, and is pivotally securable to the frame between the upwardly extending members. The backrest is rotatable from a generally vertical orientation to a substantially horizontal orientation forming a table surface. The chair of the present invention further includes a seat having a front end. The seat is pivotally securable to the frame and has a substantially horizontal orientation forming a sitting surface. The seat is rotatable to a substantially vertical orientation engageable with the horizontally orientated backrest, thereby forming a support for the backrest in the horizontal orientation than when bought separately.
The idea for this set derives from that of providing an ironing board inside the frame of a chair from which the seat has been previously removed.
