ABSTRACT:
A glider is provided which is designed for easy assembly and which may be easily collapsed for storage purposes. The glider includes a frame having a seat and back rest, and a pair of side members, each of which includes an arm rest or head rest portion, which side members are mounted on each end of the frame. An elongated roller support member is provided for each end of the frame and includes an upper track member and a lower track member, the upper track member including a substantially flat top wall and a pair of spaced substantially flat side walls extending from and connected at substantially right angles to the top wall. At least two wheels are rotatably mounted to and between the side walls of each of the upper track members. The lower track member includes a track portion substantially U-shape in cross-section and adapted to receive the wheels, and a floor engaging member. The side legs of the U-shaped track portion extend upwardly along the sides of the wheels to assist in preventing the wheels from being disengaged from the track portion. The frame further includes biasing means extending between the side members of the frame and the lower track members for yieldingly urging the wheels in contact relation with the track portions. In a preferred embodiment, the side members will include first and second strut members, the first strut member being adapted to be received by a first opening in the top wall of the upper track member and pivotally secured to the side walls thereof. The second strut member is adapted to be recieved by a second opening in the top wall and is supported therein by support means, such as in the form of a pin which is mounted to and between the side walls of the upper track member. Thus, the second strut members of the side members of the frame are adapted to be lifted from the top wall of each of the upper track members, without the need for first removing any bolts or screws, to facilitate collapsing of the glider for storage purposes.
