Abstract

A foldable chair with a seat portion, a back portion and leg portions is disclosed herein. A sun shade frame is mounted on the upper rear portion of the back portion of the chair. A mounting bracket is secured to the back of the chair, and a vertical post is slidably and rotatably supported by the mounting bracket. Adjustment means are provided on the bracket for changing the angular disposition of the post from a substantially vertical position to an inclined position in alignment with the plane of the back portion of the chair. A sun shade frame is pivotally secured to the upper portion of the post by a hinge means which permits the sun shade to be pivoted from a substantially horizontal operating position on one side of the post to a substantially vertical storage position on the other side of the post. A tray means is secured to one of the leg portions of the chair by a second mounting bracket. This mounting bracket permits the tray to be both vertically and rotatably positioned with respect to the chair. The tray is mounted on an L-shaped support arm which extends through the second mounting bracket, and the tray is adapted to be rotatable about a horizontal axis on the support arm.

Claims

1. A sun shade for a chair or the like comprising:

an upright support post, and a sun shade frame having horizontally disposed parallel rods extending towards said post from opposite sides of said frame, one of said rods terminating in a straight portion which extends through said post, the other of said rods terminating in a hinge comprising a loop element having a free end pivotally extending through said post and a portion which binds against said post below said free and when said frame is in a first operative forwardly horizontal position on one side of said post and said loop element portion passes over the top of said post to the opposite side thereof when said straight portion of said first rod is removed from said post and said frame is moved to a second vertical storage position.

2. The sun shade of claim 1 wherein said free end of said loop element extends through said post in the same direction as said first straight portion.

3. The sun shade of claim 1 wherein a support bracket is secured to said post below said frame;

said support bracket slidably and pivotally receiving said post, means on said support bracket for changing the angular relationship between said support bracket and said post from an operating position to a storage position.
