Collapsible Stool and Cover Assembly

Abstract

A collapsible stool and cover assembly for providing portable seating and shade includes a stool comprising a pair of stool legs having a pair of stool axles. A foldable stool sling is coupled to the pair of stool legs and limits the range of motion of the pair of stool legs between an expanded position with the stool sling taut and an alternative folded position. A shade cover comprises a pair of horizontal supports. Each of the pair of supports comprises a first half and a second half. A pair of support hinges is coupled to the pair of supports. Each of the pair of support hinges is coupled between the first half and the second half of the pair of supports. A cover sling is coupled to the pair of horizontal supports. The shade cover moves between an erect position and an alternate collapsed position.

         6 . The collapsible stool and cover assembly of  claim 1  further comprising each of the support hinges comprises a first hinge portion fixedly coupled to the first half, a second hinge portion fixedly coupled to the second half, and an obround medial hinge portion pivotably coupled to each of the first hinge portion and the second hinge portion. 
     
     
         7 . The collapsible stool and cover assembly of  claim 1  further comprising each of the set of leg hinges having a rounded end pivotably coupled to the distal end and a flat end fixedly coupled to the respective cover leg such that the leg hinge extends perpendicularly from the cover leg. 
     
     
         8 . A collapsible stool and cover assembly comprising:
 a stool, the stool comprising:
 a pair of stool legs, the pair of stool legs comprising a first and a second stool leg, each of the pair of stool legs being a squared U-shape comprising a pair of arms and a medial portion between the pair of arms;
