ABSTRACT:
A portable seat for suspension between spaced supports is provided comprising a flexible seating member having rigid side edge members and rigid suspension members spaced outwardly from and generally parallel thereto, the suspension members and the rigid side edge members having securing means adjacent the ends thereof, each side edge member being adjustably secured to its associated suspension member by a length of rope slidably threaded through the securing means so that the spacing between the side edge members and the suspension members can be adjusted by varying the effective rope length, which effective length is maintained by preventing movement of the rope back through the securing means after the desired distance between side edge members and suspension means is achieved. For sway prevention each rope length may be threaded through the securing means to provide both parallel legs and diagonally crossed legs. By having the ends of each rope extend through a common securing means ease of adjustment is facilitated.
