Three point adirondack chair

Abstract

The present invention relates to an Adirondack style chair with an improved design that increases stability on uneven ground and increases structural strength by means of a triangular seat support assembly. Specifically, the Adirondack style chairs of the present invention comprise first and second seat members angled toward each other to form a “V” shape where the point of the “V” extends beyond the rear of the chair so as to come together at the point of contact with the ground, a seat section attached to the top of the seat support members, a back support section attached to the seat support members to form an angle generally comfortable for sitting and two vertical first and second front legs attached to each side of the seat support member at the front or side of the chair. The present invention also relates to an Adirondack style loveseat formed by positioning two 3-point Adirondack Chairs next to each other where each chair has been fabricated to remove the abutting armrests, and the abutting front leg member does not extend above the height of the seat section.

         1 . A chair comprising:
 first and second seat support members angled toward each other to form a “V” shape where the point of the “V” extends beyond the rear of the chair so as to come together at the point of contact with the ground;   a seat section attached to the top of the seat support members;   a back section attached to the seat support members to form an angle generally comfortable for sitting; and   two vertical first and second front legs attached to each side of the seat support member at the front or side of the chair.   
     
     
         2 . A chair according to  claim 1  further comprising at least one horizontal armrest connecting the top of the leg with the side of the back support section. 
     
     
         3 . A chair according to  claim 2  further comprising a first and a second horizontal armrest connecting the top of each leg with the side of the back support section. 
     
     
         4 . A chair according to  claim 3  further comprising first and second armrests extending beyond the front of the front legs. 
     
     
         5 . A chair according to  claim 4  further comprising a back support post of at least one member that attaches the back support members to the seat support members at the point at which the seat support members come together. 
     
     
         6 . A chair according to  claim 5  wherein the seat section is comprised of a plurality of seat covering members extending between the outside edges of the first and second seat support members. 
     
     
         7 . A chair according to  claim 6  wherein the seat covering members extend beyond the outside edges of the first and second seat support members. 
     
     
         8 . A chair according to  claim 7  wherein the first seat support member and second seat support member are formed with a contoured and beveled top so that the seat covering members define a contoured surface. 
     
     
         9 . A chair according to  claim 8  wherein an additional crossbar support is attached to the inner faces of seat support members providing additional sideways stability. 
     
     
         10 . A chair according to  claim 4  further comprising a back support post two members that attaches the back support members at complimentary positions proximal to said first and second arm rests to the seat support members at the point at which the seat support members come together. 
     
     
         11 . A chair according to  claim 10  wherein the seat section is comprised of a plurality of seat covering members extending between the outside edges of the first and second seat support members. 
     
     
         12 . A chair according to  claim 11  wherein the seat covering members extend beyond the outside edges of the first and second seat support members. 
     
     
         13 . A chair according to  claim 12  wherein the first seat support member and second seat support member are formed with a contoured and beveled top so that the seat covering members define a contoured surface. 
     
     
         14 . A chair according to  claim 13  wherein an additional crossbar support is attached to the inner faces of seat support members providing additional sideways stability. 
     
     
         15 . A loveseat comprising:
 a first chair section comprising:
 first and second scat support members angled toward each other to form a “V” shape where the point of the “V” extends beyond the rear of the chair so as to come together at the point of contact with the ground; 
 a seat section attached to the top of the seat support members; 
 a back section attached to the seat support members to form an angle generally comfortable for sitting; 
 one vertical left side front leg attached to the side of the seat support member at the front or side of the chair and extending above the height of the seat section; 
 one vertical right side front leg attached to the side of the seat support member at the front or side of the chair and not extend above the height of the seat section; and 
 one left side horizontal armrest connecting the top of the leg with the side of the back support section, and 
   a second chair section comprising:
 first and second seat support members angled toward each other to form a “V” shape where the point of the “V” extends beyond the rear of the chair so as to come together at the point of contact with the ground; 
 a seat section attached to the top of the seat support members; 
 a back section attached to the seat support members to form an angle generally comfortable for sitting; 
 one vertical right side front leg attached to the side of the seat support member at the front or side of the chair and extending above the height of the seat section; 
 one vertical left side front leg attached to the side of the seat support member at the front or side of the chair and not extend above the height of the seat section; and 
 one right side horizontal armrest connecting the top of the leg with the side of the back support section, 
   wherein the first chair section and the second chair section are positioned such that the right side seat section of the first chair section and the left side of the second chair section are in contact and form a double seat.   
     
     
         16 . A loveseat according to  claim 15  further comprising a releasable attachment between said the right side seat section of the first chair section and the left side of the second chair section.
