A canopy for an article of furniture, such as a chair, having a seat portion and a back portion. The canopy includes a pair of arm structure and a flexible covering extending therebetween. Each arm structure includes an upright member including a proximal end portion extending from the back portion of the chair, a distal end portion, and a medial portion extending therebetween. The arm structure also includes a cantilever member pivotable about the distal end portion and a brace pivotably attached to the cantilever member and selectively positionable along the medial portion, thereby providing angle adjustment of the cantilever member relative to the seat portion. The flexible covering may include a plurality of panel sections, extending between the pair of arm structures and retained thereto by a pair of tethers or tabs each connecting to one of the cantilever members.

1. A canopy for use with an article of furniture having, a seat portion and a back portion, said canopy comprising: (A) a mounting fitting securable to the back portion;(B) an arm structure including: (i) an upright member including a proximal end portion pivotably attached to said mounting fitting
1. A canopy for use with an article of furniture having, a seat portion and a back portion, said canopy comprising: (A) a mounting fitting securable to the back portion;(B) an arm structure including: (i) an upright member including a proximal end portion pivotably attached to said mounting fitting whereby said upright member is pivotable about a horizontal axis between a stowed state and a deployed state while said mounting fitting is secured to the back portion, a distal end portion, and a medial portion extending therebetween, wherein said mounting fitting includes a retainer having a pair of opposing tangs spaced and configured such that said upright member snaps into said retainer selectively retaining said upright member in the deployed state;(ii) a cantilever member pivotable about said distal end portion;(iii) a slide fitting translatable along said medial portion, wherein said slide fitting includes a detent operative to engage said medial portion at discrete locations to selectively retain said slide fitting at a desired position along said medial portion; and(iv) a brace pivotably attached to said cantilever member and pivotably attached to said slide fitting, thereby providing angle adjustment of said cantilever member relative to the seat portion; and(C) a flexible covering supported by said cantilever member. 2. A canopy according to claim 1 including a pair of said arm structures and said flexible covering extending between said pair of arm structures. 3. A canopy according to claim 2, including a pair of tethers each attached at a first end to one of said cantilever arms and secured at a second end to said flexible covering. 4. A canopy according to claim 3 wherein said tether is a pouch. 5. An article of furniture, comprising: (A) a chair having a seat portion and a back portion extending therefrom, wherein said chair is configurable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration;(B) a canopy including: (1) a pair of mounting fittings secured to the back portion;(2) a pair of collapsible arm structures, each including: (i) an upright member including a proximal end portion rotatably attached to a corresponding one of said pair of mounting fittings, whereby said canopy is movable between a stowed state and a deployed state, a distal end portion, and a medial portion extending therebetween, wherein said mounting fitting includes a retainer having a pair of opposing tangs spaced and configured such that said upright member snaps into said retainer selectively retaining said upright member in the deployed state;(ii) a slide fitting translatable along said medial portion, wherein said slide fitting includes a detent operative to engage said medial portion at discrete locations to selectively retain said slide fitting at a desired position along said medial portion;(iii) a cantilever member pivotable about said distal end portion; and(iv) a brace pivotably attached to said cantilever member and pivotably attached to said slide fitting; and(3) a flexible covering, including a plurality of panel sections, extending between said pair of collapsible arm structures and retained thereto by a pair of tabs each connecting to one of said cantilever members. 6. An article of furniture according to claim 5, wherein said flexible covering is sized and configured to enclose said chair and said pair of collapsible arm structures when said canopy is in the stowed state and said chair is in the stowed configuration. 7. A canopy for use with an article of furniture having a seat portion and a back portion, said canopy comprising: (A) a pair of arm structures, each including: (i) a mounting fitting securable to the back portion;(ii) an upright member including a proximal end portion pivotably attached to said mounting fitting, a distal end portion, and a medial portion extending therebetween, wherein said upright member is pivotable about a horizontal axis between a stowed state and a deployed state, and wherein said mounting fitting includes a retainer for selectively retaining said upright member in the deployed state;(iii) a slide fitting translatable along said medial portion, wherein said slide fitting includes a detent operative to engage said medial portion at discrete locations to selectively retain said slide fitting at a desired position along said medial portion;(iv) a cantilever member pivotable about said distal end portion; and(v) a brace pivotably attached to said cantilever member and pivotably attached to said slide fitting, thereby providing angle adjustment of said cantilever member relative to the seat portion; and(B) a flexible covering extending between said arm structures. 8. A canopy according to claim 7 wherein said flexible covering includes an auxiliary panel aligned with said upright members and including a pair of sleeves for receiving said upright members therethrough. 9. A canopy according to claim 7, wherein said flexible covering is attached to said pair of arm structures by a pair of tethers each connecting to one of said cantilever members. 10. A canopy according to claim 9 wherein said tethers are each in the form of a pouch attached to said flexible covering.
