ABSTRACT:
Seating apparatus features a body including a seat and a lid which is pivotable with respect to the body between a retracted position and an extended position in which the lid defines a cover for the seat. In the retracted position, the lid cooperates with the body to enclose the seat against use. The lid is attached to the body at a pivot point which is positioned adjacent to the seat. When the lid is pivoted into the extended position, the apparatus includes a telescopic member positioned between the lid and the body to enable the lid to be supported open. The body includes a plurality of steps and can be fitted with one or more wheels to allow movement of the apparatus and to permit tilting of the apparatus into a position whereat the seat is located uppermost and the steps enable climbing into the seat.
