  • the improved article of furniture regarded as a chair comprises four legs and top and bottom skeleton frames one of which serves as a base when the article is being used as a chair and both of which are adapted to act as supports and end walls when the article is turned into position to form a cot.
  • the chair legs are connected pairwise by cross slats to form the two sides and bottom of the cot and a portion of the top skeleton frame is formed as a movable tray or support for the babys toys or the like.
  • the seat portion is pivoted or hinged to or near to the two front legs and the back por tion is pivoted or hinged to the seat portion the arrangement being such that when it is desired to form a cot the article is turned so as to be supported on the top and bottom skeleton frames and the seat portion turned on its pivots or hinges so as to form a part of the bottom of the cot the back of the seat portion forming the end of the cot.
