ABSTRACT:
A foldable article of furniture which has four elongated side members, each having a pair of ends. Hinge means is attached to each of the ends, whereby hingedly to connect adjacent ones of the side members in a quadrilateral array. The opposite side members are substantially equal in length so that the array as viewed in plan is rectangular, and the construction can be folded through a parallelogram configuration, at least to approach a flattened configuration. A transverse member which can serve as a seat support is hingedly attached to one of the side members in such manner that it can be moved to enter the inside of the quadrilateral array and can also be moved to a position outside of it. Stop means is provided on one of the side members and is disposed, proportioned and arranged so as to support the transverse member from below at some position of the transverse member inside the rectangular array. In some embodiments, stop means projects from one of the side members, and a recess is provided in the other so as to receive the stop means when the device is in its folded configuration.
