Abstract

A chair having a receiving area with a horizontal section and a generally parabolic section extending transverse to the horizontal section, and a plurality of separate legs extending downwardly from the receiving area. Each of the legs has a foot extending horizontally outwardly therefrom. The receiving area and the plurality of legs are integrally formed together of a polymeric material. The horizontal section and the generally parabolic section have a cruciform configuration. Each of the legs has a rectangular cross-section in a horizontal plane. The horizontal section of the receiving area has a numerical indicia molded thereon which is indicative of a distance between a top of the horizontal section and a bottom of the foot. The foot of one of the plurality of separate legs has a top surface with a numerical indicia molded thereon. The numerical indicia on the horizontal section of the receiving area is oriented in a different direction than the numerical indicia on the foot.

Claims

1. A chair comprising:

a receiving area having a horizontal section and a generally parabolic section in a plane extending transverse to a plane of said horizontal section, said generally parabolic section having a portion of a top surface thereof in coplanar relationship with a top surface of said horizontal section; and

a plurality of separate legs extending downwardly from said receiving area, a pair of said plurality of separate legs extending downwardly from opposite ends of said horizontal section, another pair of said plurality of separate legs extending downwardly from opposite ends of said parabolic section, each of said plurality of legs having a foot extending horizontally outwardly therefrom, a foot of one of said plurality of legs being separate from a foot of an adjacent leg, said receiving area and said plurality of legs and the foot associated with each of said plurality of legs being integrally formed together of a polymeric material.

2. The chair of claim 1, said receiving area having a numerical indicia molded thereon, said numerical indicia being indicative of a distance of a top of said horizontal section from a bottom of said foot.

3. The chair of claim 2, said numerical indicia being formed on said horizontal section.

4. The chair of claim 2, the foot of one of said plurality of separate legs having a top surface with a numerical indicia molded thereon, said numerical indicia on the foot having an identical value as said numerical indicia on said receiving area.

5. The chair of claim 4, said numerical indicia on said receiving area being oriented in a direction, said numerical indicia on the foot being oriented in a different direction than said numerical indicia on said receiving area.

6. The chair of claim 1, said legs extending downwardly from said horizontal section extending in a plane transverse to said legs extending downwardly from said generally parabolic section.

7. The chair of claim 1, each of said plurality of separate legs having a rectangular cross-section.

8. The chair of claim 1, each foot of said plurality of separate legs having a planar horizontal top surface.

9. The chair of claim 8, said top surface of one of the feet of said plurality of separate legs having a numerical indicia formed thereon, said numerical indicia being indicative of a distance between a bottom of the foot and a top of said horizontal section.

10. The chair of claim 1, said receiving area having a cruciform configuration.

11. A chair comprising:

a receiving area having a horizontal section and a generally parabolic section in a plane transverse to a plane of said horizontal section; and

a plurality of separate legs extending downwardly from said receiving area, each of said legs having a foot integrally formed therewith and extending horizontally outwardly therefrom, said receiving area and said plurality of legs being integrally formed together of a polymeric material, each of said plurality of separate legs having a rectangular cross-section in a horizontal plane, said foot of at least one of said plurality of separate legs having a top surface with a numerical indicia formed thereon, said numerical indicia being representative of a distance between a bottom of the foot and a surface of said receiving area.

12. The chair of claim 11, said receiving area having a numerical indicia molded thereon, said numerical indicia on said receiving area being representative of the distance between a bottom of the foot and the surface of said receiving area.

13. A chair comprising:

a receiving area;

a plurality of legs extending downwardly from said receiving area, each of said legs having a foot extending horizontally outwardly therefrom, said receiving area and said plurality of legs being integrally formed together of a polymeric material; and

a numerical indicia molded on at least one of said receiving area and said plurality of separate legs, said numerical indicia being indicative of a distance between a bottom of the foot and a surface of said receiving area.

14. The chair of claim 13, said receiving area having a horizontal section extending transverse to a generally parabolic section, said receiving area 10 having a cruciform configuration.

15. The chair of claim 14, said numerical indicia being molded onto said horizontal section.

16. The chair of claim 13, each of the feet of said plurality of legs having a planar horizontal top surface, said numerical indicia being molded onto said top surface of at least one of the feet of said plurality of legs.

17. The chair of claim 16, said receiving area having a horizontal section extending transverse to a generally parabolic section, said numerical indicia being molded onto said horizontal section, said numerical indicia on said horizontal section having an orientation different than an orientation of said numerical indicia on the foot.
