Patent ID: 8678490

Claim:
A folding chair comprising: a. a left leg; b. a right leg; c. a front frame connecting the left leg to the right leg, wherein the front frame folds between an open position and a closed position; d. a rear frame connecting the left leg to the right leg, wherein the rear frame is foldable between an open position and a closed position; e. a left armrest pivotally mounted to a top end of the left leg; f. a right armrest pivotally mounted to a top end of the right leg; wherein the left armrest and the right armrest fold from an upward position to a downward position; g. wherein the front frame further comprises a front frame right upper support pivotally connecting to a front frame left upper support, wherein the front frame right upper support is pivotally connected to the right leg at a front right upper connection, wherein the front frame left upper support is pivotally connected to the left leg at a front left upper connection; and wherein the front frame further comprises a front frame right lower support pivotally connecting to a front frame left lower support, wherein the front frame right lower support is pivotally connected to the right leg at a front right lower connection, wherein the front frame left lower support is pivotally connected to the left leg at a front left lower connection; h. wherein the front frame right lower support pivotally connects to the front frame right upper support at a front frame right pivoting connection; and wherein the front frame left lower support is pivotally connecting to the front frame left upper support at a front frame left pivoting connection, wherein the front frame right lower support is pivotally mounted to a front frame right lower connection; i. a right leg vertical support, wherein the front frame right lower connection is slidingly mounted to the right leg vertical support, wherein the motion of the right armrest is connected via the right leg vertical support to the front frame and also to the rear frame so that deploying the front frame and the rear frame to open position automatically raises the right armrest; and j. a left leg vertical support, wherein the front frame left lower support is pivotally mounted to a front frame left lower connection, wherein the front frame left lower connection is slidingly mounted to the left leg vertical support, wherein the motion of the left armrest is connected via the left leg vertical support to the front frame and also to the rear frame so that deploying the front frame and the rear frame to open position automatically raises the left armrest.
