ABSTRACT:
A chair comprising a pair of multi-angled frame members disposed substantially parallel to and spaced from one another. The frame members each define a leg for supporting the frame members in an upright position. The chair includes a flexible cushion having first and second end sections pivotally supported by the frame members, the pivotal connection being such as to permit relative movement between the cushion ends and the supporting frame members. The connection includes a friction-tight bearing which restricts the pivotal movement. The cushion is disposed along a curved path to define a seat and comprises the first and second end sections which are connected by a plurality of cushioned, intermediate, rigid sections interconnected by flexible material to permit relative pivotal movement between the intermediate sections and the associated end sections. Two embodiments of the present invention are disclosed including single-position and multiple-position chairs.
