The present device is directed to a hanging chair that includes a chair and a suspension structure for connecting the chair to an overhead support. The suspension structure includes a longitudinally extending support member that is operatively attached to the chair and located substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chair. Also included in the suspension structure is a device that permits the user to adjust the angle of chair relative to the ground.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A hanging chair for suspending from an overhead support comprising:a flexible panel having an edge and first, second, third and fourth attachment points;wherein said first and second attachment points are separated by a first distance;wherein said third and fourth attachment points are separated by a second distance;wherein said first and third attachment points are separated by a third distance;wherein said second and fourth attachment points are separated by a fourth distance that is substantially equal to said third distance;wherein both said third and fourth distances are greater than both said first and second distances;wherein said flexible panel has a longitudinal line that extends through a first longitudinal point located substantially midway between said first and second attachment points and a second longitudinal point located substantially midway between said third and fourth attachment points;wherein said flexible panel includes a back portion that extends from said first and second attachment points towards said third and fourth attachment points;wherein said flexible panel includes a seat portion that extends from said third and fourth attachment points towards said first and second attachment points;wherein said back portion is of a sufficient length to support the torso of a user;wherein said seat portion is of a sufficient length, when a user is seated normally and the user's legs are parallel to one another, to support the thighs of the user but not the feet of the user;wherein said longitudinal line, when said flexible panel is suspended from the overhead support, defines a first plane that is perpendicular to the ground;wherein said back portion, when said flexible panel is suspended from the overhead support, lies roughly in a second plane that is perpendicular to said first plane;wherein said seat portion, when said flexible panel is suspended from the overhead support, lies roughly in a third plane that is perpendicular to said first plane;wherein an angle between said second and third planes along said longitudinal line is less than 180 degrees;wherein, when a user is seated normally and the user's legs are parallel to one another, the user's feet extend past a portion of said edge that is located between said third and fourth attachment points and can hang freely;a longitudinal support member for use in suspending said flexible member above the ground;wherein said longitudinal support member, when said flexible panel is suspended from the overhead support, is separated from the ground;wherein said longitudinal support member, when said flexible panel is suspended from the overhead support, lies substantially in said first plane defined by said longitudinal line of said flexible member;first means for connecting said first, second, third and fourth attachment points of said flexible panel to said longitudinal support member;wherein said first means, when said flexible panel is suspended from the overhead support, is separated from the ground; anda second means for attaching said longitudinal support member to the overhead support;wherein said second means, when said flexible panel is suspended form the overhead support, is separated from the ground;wherein said longitudinal support member, first means and second means, when said flexible panel is suspended from an overhead support, collectively bear substantially all of the weight of the user;wherein said second means includes means for adjusting the angle of both said longitudinal support member and said flexible panel member relative to the ground so that a user can recline in the chair at a desired angle.
