1. A portable folding chair comprising:
- a folding chair member having a first and a second rear vertical support and a plurality of center pivoting support members supported by pivot feet;
a first end pivoting vertical supports each having a first end pivotally connected to the first rear vertical support and a second end;
a second end pivoting vertical supports each having a first end pivotally connected to the second rear vertical support and a second end;
a first laterally displaceable canopy strut having a first end pivotally connected to the second end of the first pivoting vertical support;
a second laterally displaceable canopy strut having a first end pivotally connected to the second end of the second pivoting vertical support;
a first angular fixation fitting having a first end connected to the first pivoting vertical support and a second end connected to the first laterally displaceable canopy strut, to set the angular displacement between the first pivoting vertical support and the first laterally displaceable canopy strut;
a second angular fixation fitting having a first end connected to the second pivoting vertical support and a second end connected to the second laterally displaceable canopy strut, to set the angular displacement between the second pivoting vertical support and second laterally displaceable canopy struta canopy member engaged by the first and second laterally displaceable canopy struts.

Abstract
A folding chair includes a canopy which is stabilized in a front to back longitudinal direction using stiff segments which can be folded laterally, and a canopy supported from a pivoting back support with a bracket support which is preferably a multi-detent bracket support which can angularly adjust, upon manual movement by the user to react to changing light conditions. The user can pull the canopy to angle down to block light and wind, or the user can push the canopy to angle up to form a more open appearance while still receiving some benefits from the canopy.
