Structure for a chair

Abstract

An improved structure for a chair which allows separation of the main-body, seat portion from the base portion to facilitate long distance transportation of the chair, and to provide simple and easy joining of the two together later on through opposing socket and connector fittings at the place of intended use.

1 . An easily transportable chair having separable chair-seat main-body and base portions, and means for joining the two together at a point of delivery, said means including male and female-members respectively oppositely positioned between a top side of said base portion and an underside of said main-body portion for secure interconnection of said portions when placed one atop another.  
     
     
         2 . The chair of  claim 1  wherein said means includes a first frame on which the male-members are molded at the top side of said base portion, and a second frame on which the female-members are molded at the underside of said main-body portion.  
     
     
         3 . The chair of  claim 1  wherein said means includes a first frame on which the male-members are molded at the underside of said main-body portion, and a second frame on which the female-members are molded at the top side of said base portion.  
     
     
         4 . The chair of claims  2  or  3  wherein said male-members comprise linear extenders and wherein said female-members comprise socket receivers.  
     
     
         5 . The chair of claims  2  or  3  wherein said male-members comprise linear extenders and wherein said female-members comprise socket receivers, and wherein said female-member socket receivers include a step to capture and hold said male-member linear extenders at intersecting joints at the ends thereof.  
     
     
         6 . The chair of claims  2  or  3  wherein each of said first and second frames are in the form of large plus signs (+) on which said male and female-members are molded.  
     
     
         7 . The chair of  claim 1  wherein said male-members are molded on a first plate secured to the top side of base portion, wherein said female-members are molded on a second plate, and wherein said means also includes a rotatable turning plate securing said second plate to the underside of said main-body portion.  
     
     
         8 . The chair of  claim 1  wherein said male-members are molded on a first plate secured to the underside of said main-body portion, wherein said female-members are molded on a second plate, and wherein said third means also includes a rotatable turning plate securing said second plate to the top side of said base portion.  
     
     
         9 . The chair of claims  7  or  8  wherein said male-members comprise linear extenders and wherein said female-members comprise socket receivers.  
     
     
         10 . The chair of claims  7  or  8  wherein said female-member socket receivers include a step to capture and hold said male-member linear extenders at intersecting joints at the ends thereof.  
     
     
         11 . The chair of  claim 1 , also including a key extender through a passage in at least one of said male-members to lock with a corresponding keyhole in at least one of said female-members for securing further interconnection between said chair-seat main-body and base portions of said chair.
