ABSTRACT:
A chair is provided which finds primary, although not exclusive, use as a patient's chair in a hospital room. The chair is formed of both rigid and flexible resilient members, composed respectively, for example, of tubular and flat barstock spring steel, which is configured to form a frame for the chair, and which provides a base, front legs, and support for the seat, back and arm rests of the chair; and a web-like member attached to the frame to constitute the seat and back of the chair. The seat and back are supported on the frame for resilient reciprocal movement. A pair of arm rests are attached to the frame, on either side of the seat. The web-like member, for example, may be formed of polyester mesh. An upholstered cover may be provided which may be attached to the web-like member by strips of Velcro and plastic rivets. The upholstered cover may be formed of vinyl, or other appropriate material, although the patient may sit directly on the web-like material. An upholstered head rest may be attached to the top of the back by Velcro and permanently-sewn limiting straps which provide height adjustability, and which permit it to hang behind the chair when not in use.
