ABSTRACT:
A chaise lounge, usable for sunbathing and other recreational purposes, comprises a stationary base having a normally upright canopy pivotally mounted rearwardly thereon. The canopy, preferably comprising a hood-like frame covered with an open mesh and flexible material, is adapted to be pivoted beween 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. A pair of laterally spaced and operator-controlled (from within the canopy) combined holding and locking struts are pivotally interconnected between forward ends of each side of the canopy and a respective side of the base to releasably hold and lock the canopy in a selected position between its upright and lowered positions. Each strut may comprise a releasable coil spring for selectively holding a reciprocal rod in a locked position, under torsional friction, or a motor-driven screw drive arrangement. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a pair of laterally spaced combined cushioning and return struts are pivotally interconnected between each side of the canopy and the frame to cushion and control movement of the canopy when it is moved from its upright position towards its lowered position and for automatically moving the canopy back to its upright position in response to release of the holding and locking struts.
