Abstract:
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a collapsible chair having a collapsible lateral support rod, a pair of front legs, a pair of front chair support rods, and a pair of mechanical junctions configured to couple with an associated pair of poles, such that the collapsible chair is adapted to collapse into an easy-to-carry volume. In an illustrative example, the mechanical junctions may be releasably and/or shock-cord-coupled to various support rods and/or legs. The mechanical junctions may include locking mechanisms to lock the associated poles into a fixed position relative to the mechanical junctions, for example. The collapsible chair may include gear loops for hanging of gear from the collapsible chair. In various embodiments, a collapsible chair may advantageously provide a full size, lightweight chair configured for compact storage in a stowage bag for high portability during outdoor hiking.

Claim (Index 1):
A collapsible chair ( 100 ) comprising:\n a collapsible lateral rod ( 120 ) comprising a first end and a second end; a first mechanical junction ( 130 ) adapted to couple with the first end of the collapsible lateral rod ( 120 ), and adapted to releasably couple with a first pole ( 115 ); a second mechanical junction ( 130 ) adapted to couple with the second end of the collapsible lateral rod ( 120 ), and adapted to releasably couple with a second pole ( 115 ); first and second legs ( 110 ,  110 ) releasably coupled to the first and second mechanical junctions ( 130 ,  130 ), respectively; a first and second front chair support members ( 125 ,  125 ) releasably coupled to the first and second mechanical junctions ( 130 ,  130 ), respectively; and, a flexible chair seat ( 135 ) comprising a front right section, a front left section, a top right section, and a top left section, wherein when the first and second poles ( 115 ,  115 ) are respectively coupled with the first and second mechanical junctions ( 130 ,  130 ):\n the first and second poles ( 115 ,  115 ) function as a third and fourth legs, respectively, of the collapsible chair ( 100 ), and, \n the front right section is adapted to releasably couple with the first front chair support member ( 125 ), the front left section is adapted to releasably couple with the second front chair support member ( 125 ), the top right section is adapted to releasably couple with a distal end of the first pole ( 115 ), and the top left section is adapted to releasably couple with a distal end of the second pole ( 115 ), \n wherein the first leg ( 110 ) is shock-cord-coupled to the first mechanical junction ( 130 ), the second leg ( 110 ) is shock-cord-coupled to the second mechanical junction ( 130 ), the first front chair support member ( 125 ) is shock-cord-coupled to the first mechanical junction ( 130 ), and the second front chair support member ( 125 ) is shock-cord-coupled to the second mechanical junction ( 130 ).
