Chair that aids the readying of the occupant of a lay-down blind

Abstract

One embodiment of a reclining chair for placement in a lay-down blind. The chair aids the readying of its occupant. The chair reclines by the backrest pivoting on a hinge at the back of the seat. The chair aids the occupant in sitting up by providing pivotal force to the backrest. The pivotal force is provided by torsion springs in the hinge. The Other embodiments are described and shown.

1 . A chair for use in a lay-down blind comprising:
 a. a base having a seat,   b. a backrest having a top edge and a bottom edge,   c. a hinge element that pivotally attaches the bottom edge of said backrest to said base so that said seat and said backrest form a chair with a reclining backrest,   d. a spring element integrated with the hinge to supply pivotal force to the backrest tending to pivot the backrest towards the seat.   
     
     
         2 . The chair of  claim 1  further comprising a hood, said hood pivotally attached near the hood's back side to the backrest near the backrest's top edge. 
     
     
         3 . The chair of  claim 1  further comprising a social bar pivotally attached to the base behind the backrest. 
     
     
         4 . A method of aiding an occupant of a lay-down blind in transitioning from the concealed position to the ready position comprising:
 a. placing in a lay-down blind a chair with a reclining backrest, the reclining of said backrest is resisted by pivotal force tending to pivot the backrest toward the seat,   b. occupying the chair,   c. overcoming the pivotal force in the backrest thereby reclining the backrest and laying down,   d. being aided by the pivotal force in the backrest when readying.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4  further comprising placing a pivoting hood over the chair to conceal the occupant.
