Safety fastening latch for leisure chairs

Abstract

A safety fastening latch for leisure chairs includes a latch member and a fastener. The latch member is coupled with a rear foot of a leisure chair and slidable thereon for a limited distance. The fastener has a first end pivotally engaged with the rear foot and a second end pivotally engaged with a back support of the leisure chair. When the leisure chair is extended, the latch member may be slid to engage with the fastener to prevent the fastener from moving away from the rear foot such that the rear foot and back support will maintain a latched and engaged relationship thereby to prevent the leisure chair from unintentional folding.
