' Thisinventionfrelates toa lawn and-camp chair7 and'has 'for one. ofl its objects to vprovide a novell,vv simple? and inexpensive ychair of this `cha'ijact'er which will embody legsy adapted 'to 4support thel seat in a downwardlyandlrearwardly, inclined position close to"V the' ground',v and which will embody a back adaptedtobe arrange-d ina right angular or anobtuseangularposition with relation toV A the seat, tofthe end that" the occupant may as-E surnea "restfulf'sitting or reclining position therein@V a Y v `',rlhe invention has fora further object to provide -a chairof the character stated which 15 willbeadapted to be socompactly folded as to permit it tofbefconveniently carried` from place'to place or stored in a comparatively sinall'space,Y and which will be adapted to bev readily unfolded for` use'withthe `back in a 0 right angular or' in an obtuse angulargposi-v i 'cross bar. Thev braces 9V are connected near tion Vwith relation 'tothe seat.
r`Wl'ith'the foregoing and other objects in viewpthenature-'of which' willlappea'r as the V description proceeds, theA inventionnconsists in the constr'rwtion7 combination and` arrangementpof parts hereinafterfully de-l laimed; and illustrated in the scribed' and accompanying, drawings, wherein the seat;
Y FigurefQ isa sectional view-taken on the plan-e indicatedby the line 2 2 of Figure Figure Slis a bottom planviewvofthe chair in folded condition, and Y 1 Y Figure 4 is akview in side .elevation of the chair inpartly foldedv condition. c The lawn and camp chair comprises a frame consistinglof'a frontbafry 1 and side barsQ. A seat 3 ispositioned upon and secured to the frame bars l and 2. The frame b arslQ are extended rearwardly beyond the se-atI 3' to provide rear legs 4 whichl'are arranged in longitudinal alinement with these barsand which have the lower sides of their rear ends Figure l is a sectional View taken yon a' vertion in the chair. rAs the legs 16 are pivoted Y connectedV near Ytheir lower ends by a cross 55 bar', 8.1, The crossbar is secured at its ends'v to the front sides ofthe legs 6andis prof, vided between the frontlegs with a rearwardy ly directed enlargementSa'.

bar 1lv when it is `desired to free the front legs 6 for swingin'gmovement about their 75 pivots.``
I The lawn and camp chairl comprises a back 14 which consists ofpillar bars 15, back pieces 16 and slats 17,*and Whichfis pivotally connected at its lower zend, at'rasvlS, to the out- 80 er `s ides of.' upwardly directed extensions 19 formed integrallywith the frame bars 2 and rear legs 4A at the juncture of such parts.
The front legsffG extend abovethe seatS yto provide supports 20 forarmsQl which are 85 pivotally connected at-their front endsjas'at 22, to the supports'and whichgare pivotally l connected at. their rear ends, as at 23,tothe pillar4 bars 15.' AThe back14 is arranged in rightI angular positionwithjre'l'ationA tothef 90 seat 3, andyis *held`r` in this positionlby the.lv braces 9, lthe legs 6 and supports20 andthe i armsQl. e I l The legs/4 andk 6 support'the seat :in downwardly and* rearwardly inclined position 5 close to the ground.y Bue thereto; and as the back 14 isarranged at right angles tothe seat .3, as shown by solid lines'in Figure'lthe occupant may assume a restful sitting posif o'f-the legs 6 with the frame bars 2, the pivotal to the frame bars 2, as the braces 9 are detachably engaged with the cross or keeper bar 11, as the back 14 is pivotally connected to the frame bars 2, and as the arms 21 are pivotally connected to the back and to their supports 20, the back may be swung, after disengaging the braces from the keeper bar rearwardly from its right angular position with relation to the seat 3 into an obtuse angular position with relation to the seat.
With the back in this position which is illustrated by broken lines in Figure 1, the occupant may assume 'a restful reclining position in the chair. The back 14 is supported in this position by the lower back pieces 16 and the upwardly directed enlargement 19 of the frame bars 2 and rear legs 4, as clearly shown inlITigure 1. The .pivotal connection connection of the braces 9 with the cross bar 8, the pivotal connection of the back 14 with the-frame bars 2, and the pivotal 'connectionv of the arms 21 with the back and with the supports 20, permit the chair to be folded with the'back resting upon the seat 3, with the legs 6, supports 2O and arms 21 in a position confronting the frame bars 2 andthe braces 9`in contact withthe under side of the seat 3, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.A When the chair is folded its parts are so compactly arranged that it may be conveniently carried from place to place or stored in a comparatively small space. All parts of the chair with the exception of the pivots may be made vfrom wood, and' if desired it may be made frommetal.
VWhile I vhave described the principle of the invention, together with the structure which I know consider the preferred embodi- `ment thereof, itis to be understood that the structure shown is' merely illustrative and that such changes may be made, when desired,
