ABSTRACT:
A foldable outdoor chair movable from a position of use to a collapsed position is provided. The chair has a combined seat bottom and rear leg assembly including a seat bottom and laterally spaced side rails, a seat back assembly including a seat back, a front leg assembly including a pair of laterally-spaced front legs, and a pair of arm rests. The outdoor chair also includes a lever assembly to facilitate folding which includes a pair of levers. Each lever is pivotally connected at a first pivot point to the seat back assembly below the seat bottom and is also pivotally connected at a second pivot point to one of the side rails below the center axis of the side rail. The chair is foldable when an upward force is applied to the seat back assembly to disengage the seat back from the side rails and subsequently a forward force is applied to the seat back such that a clockwise rotation is imparted to the first pivot point whereby the chair is moved to an intermediate position. The chair is then moved to its collapsed position when a downward force is applied to the seat back such that the levers are pivoted counterclockwise causing the seat bottom and leg assembly, seat back assembly, front leg assembly and pair of arm rests to be in a substantially horizontal orientation generally parallel to one another.
