     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of Invention 
     This invention relates to a compact, portable chair. Specifically, this invention relates to a chair with individually adjustable legs, armrests, headrest, attachable foam padded foldable seat and backrest, detachable backpack for transporting additional items all part of a foldable compact portable chair. 
     2. Prior Art 
     There are many types of portable chairs available and common to the marketplace. There are indoor and outdoor chairs of many different shapes and sizes; some chairs are permanent, others either movable or portable. Some portable chairs can be folded into sections to ease in transporting and storage. Portable chairs do not generally include arm rests and headrests due to the difficulty of folding these elements along with the rest of the chair into an easily portable configuration. 
     There are also many bags and backpacks available in today&#39;s marketplace. Different bags, containers, coolers; and other carrying devices are well known in the art. There are also a wide variety of backpacks available in the marketplace. Some backpacks are available for everyday use, while others are used for hiking and camping. 
     Due to their mobile nature, portable chairs are often carried with bags and backpacks. For example, when attending outdoor sporting events and outdoor concerts, it is often required that the attendees bring their own chairs. These attendees usually also wish to bring additional materials. Such articles are best carried together in a bag or pack. Unfortunately, it is not easy for a single person to carry both a chair and a pack of food and other articles. It is not easy to transport the folding chairs currently on the market. These chairs are cumbersome to carry and difficult to hold. The weight of the chair is unbalanced when it is in the folded position; and the chair tends to come unfolded during transportation. Carrying a chair becomes doubly difficult if the person is also carrying a bag full of food and other articles. This chore can become nearly impossible if the person is also carrying or attending to a small child. 
     To solve this problem, inventors have created several portable chairs that include a bag or backpack. Examples of such combinations are disclosed in Rettenberger, U.S. Pat. No. 5,722,717, Kober, U.S. Pat. No. 5,628,437, Lamb et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,291, Hale, U.S. Pat. No. 5,318,342, Bradbury, U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,548, and Batie, U.S. Pat. No. 3,077,327. The majority of these prior art inventions use a folding lawn-chair style chair with a backpack mounted on one of various parts of the chair. These chairs are all extremely cumbersome and difficult to manage; and they are uncomfortable and clumsy in use. Batie and Rettenberger both disclose combination chair and backpacks utilizing a three-frame folding chair similar to the instant invention; however, neither of these chairs mount a backpack on the back of the chair. The structural instability of these designs precludes mounting anything on the back of the chair; and indeed, the chairs are so poorly designed they tend to collapse when there is nobody sitting in the chair. Furthermore, the chairs do not easily convert into a portable configuration, and none of these inventions include a headrest, armrests, attachable foam padded foldable seat with backrest, individually adjustable legs, and detachable carrying harness. 
     Other prior art inventions include U.S. Pat. No. 4,773,574 to Burgard (1988), which discloses a pack having first and second rectangular frames which are pivotally interconnected to form a chair which folds into a backpack. This invention suffers from several serious disadvantages. First, the pack portion is located on the underside of the seat rather than the back of the chair. Second, the support legs are all of the same length, causing the chair to lack the stability achieved in the present invention. Third, this patent describes what is essentially a two-frame structure that does not fold or lock satisfactorily. U.S. Pat. No. 4,687,248 to Ross and Friedman (1987) discloses a tote-bag with a complex construction that transforms into a chair by a slow complex step-by-step process. This tote-bag is not preferred because of the cumbersome process to achieve portability. U.S. Pat. No. 4,190,918 to Glenn M. Harvell (1978), discloses a simple carry suitcase cushion that folds out into a double cushion. This invention does not allow any amenities to be transported inside and only provides a cushion that must be used atop of an existing chair or bench. U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,548 to Patrick H. Bradbury (1987) discloses a bulky and uncomfortable lawn chair with a pack on the back. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 6,457,324 B1 to Leslie G. Ammann, Jr. discloses a folding chair with a backpack; however, the backpack is not removable making it not easily accessible from a seated position. The height adjustment for the chair does not allow for placing the chair on an uneven surface. The seating is not comfortable for sitting for long periods of time. This prior art does not exhibit a compact portable chair with individually adjustable legs that make it possible to adjust the height of the chair and also allows leveling of the seating platform that compensates for surfaces that are not level. This invention fulfills these needs and provides further advantages as described in the following summary of objects and advantages. 
     OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES 
     The present invention&#39;s main object provides a compact portable chair for use in the outdoor field, but not limited to the following usage; hunting, fishing hiking, picnicking, parades, concerts, home and various other activities. This main embodiment provides a means of folding the backrest support frame hingeably joined to the back of the seat support frame to rotate to a flat position parallel with the seat support frame. The backrest in the upright position is locked by means of a sliding sleeve and a 90° elbow joint. In similar fashion the front and rear leg support frames are hingeably joined with 90° elbow joints to allow folding first, the rear leg frame and then the front leg frame to provide a flat and parallel position to the underside of the support seat frame. The front and rear seat frames are locked in the open chair leg position by a pair of folding stabilizer tubes, 180° bending elbow and a sliding stabilizer sleeve. 
     This embodiment provides a compact portable chair having advantages not presented by prior art. 
     Another embodiment provides individually adjustable legs which adjust to the surface terrain. This allows the chair to be leveled on uneven ground locations and also to adjust the height of the chair to conform to a person&#39;s leg length for comfortable seating. 
     Additional embodiment provides a detachable backpack which allows convenient placement of the backpack and its contents within reach while still seated. This is an important feature while hunting. Many forms of hunting such as deer and wild turkey require minimal movement. 
     Another embodiment provides a foam padded foldable seat and backrest. This is attached to the top of the backrest frame by means of a swivel spring clip to allow this combined seating and back support to be removed if required, but also this unit flips over the top of the backrest frame. 
     This unit then forms a cushion between a person&#39;s back and the chair adding comfort while transporting the compact portable chair. The seating unit, in addition to the comfort of the padding, has a center filled with a material when compressed produces heat for comfort in cold weather use. 
     An additional embodiment provides for a detachable carrying harness. The advantage of it being detachable allows its separate use with a strap or rope for transporting wild game such as deer, or for dragging sleds, wagons or other transporting conveyances. 
     The material used to form the seat, backrest, and padded detachable cushion is preferably made of a durable, water resistant, camouflage cloth. A blaze-orange material is attachable to the back of the chair or backpack. This feature is used as a safety factor when required for hunting. 
     Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed descriptions, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.

The front leg framework  39  is rectangular shaped. It is comprised of front stabilizer tubes  30 , front leg tubes  46 , 90° knee joints  70 , upper front folding leg tubes  52 , front seat connector blocks  60  and front stabilizer blocks  78 . The rear leg framework  37  is rectangular shaped. It is comprised of rear stabilizer tubes  30 , rear folding leg tubes  44 , 90° joints  70 , upper rear folding leg tubes  50 , back seat connector blocks  58  and back stabilizer blocks  76 . Each of the four legs has an adjustable leg sleeve  54  which includes button  102  and button spring  104 . Strap with female buckle  72  and strap with male buckle  74  provides a means for retaining the folded chair  31  as a compact unit. Female buckles  56  are further attached to front stabilizer tube  30  which allows a connection with the top end of the shoulder strap harness  120  and its male buckles  114  shown in  FIG. 21 . 
       FIG. 6  illustrates the backrest framework  35 , front framework  39  and back framework  37  with blocks  58 ,  60 ,  76 ,  78 , mid stabilizer block  80  and elbows  70 . Connected to the above are folding tubes  82  and sliding stabilizer sleeves  84  with stop pin  126 . The insert section provides a view of the means of folding the leg frameworks  37  and  39 . It further illustrates a hingable joint comprised of a double male 90° elbow  124  and female elbows  70   b  stabilized with sleeve  84  with stop pin  126 . It further illustrates the folding feature of backrest framework  35 . This is comprised of framework  35 , backrest sleeves  48  and knee joints  70 . 
       FIG. 6  further illustrates the ability to remove armrests  68 . Upper back folding leg  50  extends through connector block  58  and is attached to male elbow joint  70   b  by means of a tension pin  100 . This elbow combination forms folding knee joint  70 . Knee joint  70  is attached to leg framework  37 . This combination allows framework  37  to fold inward and upward parallel with seat framework  41 . In similar manor, front leg framework  39  is connected to a knee joint  70 , upper front leg tubes  50  and front seat block  60 . This combination similarly allows framework  39  to fold inward and upward parallel to folded rear leg framework  37  and seat framework  41 . The section of back leg tube  50  which extends through rear seat block  58  is further connected to a knee joint  70 . Backrest framework  35  is connected on the top side of knee joint  70 . This will allow framework  35  to fold downward and parallel to seat framework  41 .  FIG. 6  further illustrates the method of removing or repositioning armrest  68 . This is accomplished by depressing button  102  and pulling armrest  68  upward. To reposition, button  102  is depressed and held while rotation to a different position and releasing button  102 . The new position is locked in place through means of different positioned holes in armrest  68 . There are three holes on the same plane that are located 90° from each other. 
       FIGS. 7 and 8  illustrates the mechanics of folding knee joint  70 . As shown in the perspective view the male elbow  70   a  is attached to female elbow  70   b  by means of tension pin  100 . The combination rotates from 180° position to 90°. It is stopped in a 90° position by means of the shoulder on  70   a  and indented section on  70   b . It is stopped in a 180° position by means of the protrusion of the male elbow  70   a  and the groove in female elbow  70   b . This is further illustrated in  FIG. 8 .  FIG. 8  illustrates the method of locking knee joint  70  used for maintaining backrest framework  35  in an upright position. Sleeve  48  slides over knee joint  70  in a 180° position thereby locking joint  70  in this position. 
       FIG. 9  further illustrates the method of removing or repositioning previously described with embodiments under  FIG. 6 . 
       FIG. 10  illustrates the method of adjusting each individual leg in preferably one inch increments. Other increments of adjustments can be used. By depressing button  102  into leg sleeve  54 , the sleeve which has holes at measured increments can be moved up or down to a new hole position over button  102 . Releasing button  102  will lock the new position in place.  FIG. 11  illustrates the use of the detachable shoulder harness  120 .

       FIG. 19  illustrates connections of mid block  80  with seat tube  42 , and stabilizer tubes  82 . Tubes  82  use the same rotation method described in  FIGS. 17 and 18 . Tension pin  100  is not shown. 
       FIG. 20  illustrates a typical backpack. Although backpack  122  is part of this embodiment any backpack or apparatus used for carrying items can be attached in similar manner to be described later. 
       FIG. 21  illustrates shoulder harness  120 . As shown in  FIG. 11  in a detached mode harness  120  has auxiliary uses. The primary purpose of harness  120  is used for carrying chair  31  and/or backpack  122  in a comfortable manner on an individual&#39;s back. Male buckles  114  are connected to female buckles  56  shown in  FIG. 5 . Swivel spring clips  94  are attached to “D” rings  34  connected with back seat tube  38 . Male buckles  114  allow the straps to be adjusted to different lengths. Strap  110  adjusts to fit across the chest area of an individual at a desired comfort level. 
       FIGS. 22 ,  23  and  24  illustrate carrying positions of the folded chair  31  with backpack  122  and without. 
     The use of chair  31  is accomplished in the following manner. Viewing  FIGS. 2 ,  3 ,  5  and  6  chair  31  is in an open position. The user grabs the front end of cushion seat  33  and rotates upward to meet the backrest portion of  33 . See  FIG. 3   c  and  FIG. 3   d . Cushion seat  33  is now parallel with backrest framework  35 , see  FIGS. 2 ,  4 ,  5  and  6 . User proceeds to grab the folded end of seat  33  and rotate 360° over the top of backrest  35  to a parallel position with the backside of backrest  35 . The top end of cushion seat  33  remains attached to backrest  35  by means of spring clips  94  attached to grommets  86  and “D” rings  32 . This allows the cushion seat  33  to hang in this position. The front end of armrests  68  are preferably removed by compressing button  102  and lifting upward until detached. The opposite ends remain attached on tubes  36  through a flexible canvas type material, same as the seat and backrest material. Armrests  68  are laid on the seat of chair  31 . User proceeds to pull sleeves  48  upward allowing backrest  35  to rotate downward and forward by means of knee joints  70  to a parallel position with seat framework  41 . See  FIG. 6 . Chair  31  should now be laid on its side. In this position user folds the back leg framework  37  by first releasing sleeve  84  on right and left leg by sliding sleeves  84  towards seat framework  41 . User rotates legs towards seat framework  41 . In like manner, front leg framework  39  is folded to seat framework  41 . Chair  31  is now in compact position with cushion seat  33 , backrest framework  35 , seat framework  41  and leg frameworks  37  and  39  all parallel. It is important to fold back leg framework  37  before framework  39  because upper back leg tube  50  is shorter than upper front leg tube  52  which allows framework  37  to fold inside framework  39 . It should also be noted that framework  39  is wider than framework  37  allowing the legs of  39  to close on the outside of legs of  37 . At this point male buckle with strap  74  is wrapped around the above folded chair  31  unit and attached to female buckle with strap  72 . This strap is tightened by pulling the strap through end of male buckle  74 . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 21 and 5  spring clips  94  remain attached to chair  31  at “D” rings  34  on back seat tube  38 . The opposite end of harness  120  containing male buckles  114  and ring  106  are looped over tube  30  of backrest framework  35 . This is a convenient location to keep this detached end of harness  120  while chair  31  is in use. Referring to  FIGS. 21 and 5  with chair  31  in the folded and strapped position, unattached end of harness  120  is attached to female buckles  56  located on tube  30  of leg framework  39 . Harness  120  is now mounted on user&#39;s back shown in  FIG. 22 . 
     Attaching backpack  122   FIG. 20  is accomplished by use of auxiliary adjustable straps. These straps are not shown. The straps are preferably black nylon material with spring clips  94  attached at each end. Adjustable means such as female buckle  112  and male buckle  114  are attached on the strap between clips  94 . Other type straps can be used. These straps are passed through upper and lower attachment points of the carrying harness of backpack  122 . Spring clips  94  of the one auxiliary strap are attached to “D” rings  32  at the upper point, and the other auxiliary strap is attached to “D” rings  34  on tube  38 . Tightening each strap allows the backpack to remain in proper position.  FIG. 24  illustrates the carrying position. 
     An additional embodiment used as a safety feature is a blaze-Orange canvas or nylon rectangular shaped cloth with grommets  86  on each corner. This can be attached to chair  31  in open position at “D” rings  32  and  34 . When chair  31  is being transported, the cloth can be attached in like manner to “D” rings  32  and  34 . This can be done with or without the backpack attached. Preferably mountain type connections such as carabineers are used but other means are also available. Blaze-orange is a color required while hunting deer or other game as a safety feature. 
     Material used for chair  31  requires a durable water resistant flexible cloth such as nylon. Connector blocks  58 ,  60 ,  76 ,  78  and  80  are preferably made of black nylon. Other similar machined or die molded materials can be substituted. The preferred method of attachments is by use of tension pins  100 . Other means such as screws, nuts and bolts, adhesive, welds, or other devices can be used. Straps  56 ,  72  and  74  are preferable sewn in place. Gluing, riveting, screwing or other methods can be used. Because of strength, resistance to corrosion and light weight requirements, aluminum tubing is the preferred material used for support frameworks  35 ,  37 ,  38 ,  41 , armrests  68 , stabilizers  82 , sleeves  48  and  84 . Solid aluminum rod is preferably used for elbows  70 ,  96  and  124 . 
     The primary usage of chair  31  is hunting; therefore the preferred color of cloth is camouflage with all other materials black. Other color combinations can be used depending on the desired usage of chair  31 . Chair  31  can be used for many activities besides hunting such as hiking, picnicking, at parades, outdoor concerts, home etc. 
     Although the description above contains many specifications, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. 
     The scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.
