ABSTRACT:
A new and improved interconvertible backpack and chair apparatus includes a first frame assembly which includes a pair of retractable first legs which are capable of supporting a rolled-up sleeping bag when the apparatus is in a backpack mode. The first legs serve as rear legs of a chair when the apparatus is in a chair mode. A first storage compartment is attached to the top end of the first frame assembly. A first hinge assembly connects the bottom end of the first frame assembly to the back end of a second frame assembly and permits the second frame assembly to be rotated with respect to the first frame assembly when the apparatus is shifted from a backpack mode to a chair mode and vice versa. A seat assembly is attached to the first frame assembly and is in alignment with the first storage compartment when the apparatus is in a backpack mode, and the seat assembly is oriented at right angles to the first storage compartment when the apparatus is in a chair mode. A third frame assembly serves as the front legs in the chair mode. A second hinge assembly connects the front end of the second frame assembly to the top end of the third frame assembly. The second hinge assembly permits the third frame assembly to be rotated with respect to the second frame assembly when the apparatus is shifted from a backpack mode to a chair mode and vice versa.
