ABSTRACT:
A chaise lounge, usable for sunbathing and other recreational purposes, comprising a stationary base having a normally upright canopy pivotally mounted rearwardly thereon. The canopy, preferably comprising a hood-like structural frame covered with an open mesh and flexible material, is adapted to be pivoted between a normal upright position to form a seating arrangement and a lowered position placing a back of the canopy in alignment with a top of the base. At least one operator-controlled (from within the canopy) combined lock and return strut is pivotally interconnected between the canopy and the base to: (1) Releasably hold and lock the canopy in a selected position between its upright and lowered positions; and (2) Cushion lowered movements of the canopy and automatically return it to its upright position in response to release of the locking function. The strut may comprise a releasable torsion coil spring for selectively holding a reciprocal rod in a locked position, under torsional friction, and a compression coil spring for effecting the cushioning and return functions. A pair of laterally spaced struts can be pivotally interconnected between each side of the canopy and the frame or a single and centrally located strut can be utilized.
