ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a chair, which includes a seat, a back and two armrests, more particularly to a modular chair construction, in which the back and the armrests are mounted removably on the seat.
2. Description of the Related Art
Referring to
FIG. 1
, a conventional sofa
1
is shown to include a seat unit
10
, two armrest units
11
, and a back unit
12
. Each of the seat unit
10
, the armrest units
11
, and the back unit
12
consists of a main body
100
,
110
,
120
, and a covering
14
that is attached fixedly to the main body
100
,
110
,
120
. Because the armrest units
11
and the back unit
12
are fixed on the seat unit
10
by means of bolts
15
, it is difficult to transport the sofa
1
. Furthermore, when any of the seat
10
, the armrests
11
, and the back
12
is damaged, it cannot be replaced with a new one. As a result, the entire sofa
1
is thrown away.

According to this invention, a modular chair includes a seat unit, a back unit that is mounted removably on the seat unit, and two armrest units that are mounted respectively and removably on the left and right sides of the seat unit.
