A folding chair comprises lower and upper frame sections formed generally as U-shaped members, each having a pair of legs and a central portion between the pair of legs. The ends of the central section are connected to the legs by a pair of curved frame portions curved in planes such that the central frame portions have longitudinal axes displaced away from the legs. The frame sections are preferably formed to be generally identical except that the legs of one frame section may be longer than the legs of the other. The ends of the frame sections are connected together by hinges. A flexible material formed generally as a sling is mounted to the central portions of the upper and lower frame sections to support the weight of a person sitting in the chair. The frame and the hinges the legs cooperate to retain the angle between the upper and lower frame sections at an value determined by the position of the user in the chair. The pivotal connections between the legs includes means for preventing the ends of the legs from extending to the floor. The folding chair may include a pair of pouches behind the seat covering for storing small articles and for storing the covering when the chair is not in use.

A folding chair, comprising: a lower frame section formed generally as a U-shaped member; an upper frame section formed generally as a U-shaped member; a pair of hinges for connecting the lower frame section and the upper frame section together, each hinge including: a bolt; a support ring mounted on the bolt; an end of one of the frame sections pivotally mounted on the bolt adjacent the support ring; an end of the other frame section pivotally mounted on the bolt, the support ring being formed to have an outer surface that extends beyond the end edges of the frame sections such that when the chair rests upon a hard, flat surface such as a floor, the support ring contacts the floor while holding the ends of the frame sections above the floor; means mounted on the bolt between the ends of the frame sections for permitting the frame sections to rotate about the bolt relative to one another while preventing frictional contact between the frame ends; and a covering mounted to the upper and lower frame sections such that a person occupying the chair may adjust the angle between the upper and lower frame sections by shifting his weight in the chair.
