Present invention teaches a screwless chair where the unassembled product can come in a flat package, reducing the size of storage and adding to the ease of transportation. No screws are needed for the chair of present invention; no tools are needed for the assembly/disassembly when a user unfolds the seat back from the seat base, slides the hook pieces along the groove pieces and set the seat back down by inserting the protrusion pieces to the corresponding receiving tubes; the locking tabs on the protrusion pieces provide the locking function when inserting into the receiving tubes. Errors in setting up the chair can be avoided. The ease of setting up, and thus the sturdiness and the safety of the chair, is not affected by repeated disassembly/re-assembly.

A foldable hanging basket includes a hanger and a hanging basket body. The hanging basket body is suspended on the hanger by a sling chain. The hanging basket body comprises a hanging basket chair and a lifting frame assembly. The lifting frame assembly comprises a main frame and several auxiliary frames. The main frame and the several auxiliary frames are arranged in intervals, a lower border of the main frame is hinged and matched with a front border of the hanging basket chair, and two ends of each of the several auxiliary frames are successively hinged and matched with borders on both sides of the hanging basket chair. The main frame and the auxiliary frames may be rotated and folded in a plane of the hanging basket chair.

A chair adapted for no-tool assembly that includes a lower chair frame supported by an upper chair frame. A first, e.g., front, interface prevents relative movement between the chair frames, e.g., via orifice engaging a protrusion of, e.g., a hook member, or engagement of mating caps of the upper and lower chair frames with protrusions and orifices. A second, e.g., second interface includes a latch receiver and latch. In use, the upper chair frame is placed on the lower chair frame. The first interface is engaged for preventing relative movement between the upper and lower chair frames and the second interface between the lower chair frame and the upper chair frame is also engaged.

Various systems and methods relate to an adaptive chair system having (i) a stowed mode in which the members of the chair frame are contained within a compact flexible multi-function bag (MFB), and (ii) a deployed mode in which the MFB is adapted to releasably couple to an arm of the chair to provide a multipurpose accessory chamber. In an illustrative example, the MFB may, for example, fold in on itself in an accessory mode. The MFB may provide various utilities for hikers, for example, by providing a case to receive an inflatable bladder so as to form a pillow. The MFB may receive a thermal liner adapted to maintain, for example, food or beverage temperature. Various embodiments may advantageously provide a rugged, water resistant MFB system in an ultralight form factor that serves as a multipurpose accessory (e.g., to store items), yet provides a compact, adaptive chair frame containment.

A support frame may be mounted to a corresponding support platform. The support frame may include an elongate rigid column including a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end. A platen bracket may be connected to the elongate rigid column nearer the proximal end than the distal end. A support platen may be connected to the platen bracket. A flanged sleeve may be coaxially received on the elongate rigid column nearer the distal end than the proximal end. The flanged sleeve may include a sleeve portion slidably received on the elongate rigid column and a mounting flange extending from the sleeve portion. The mounting flange may be configured to interface with the support platform. A guide sleeve may be coaxially received on the elongate rigid column between the platen bracket and the flanged sleeve. The guide sleeve may be configured to maintain the platen bracket and the flanged sleeve in a spaced apart orientation when the support frame is mounted to the corresponding support platform.

A ready-to-assemble upholstered and non-upholstered chair consisting of factory assembled sub-assemblies reducing the number of overall parts and assembly hardware which decreases the packaged cubic measure allowing more units to be loaded into shipping containers and trailers, inventoried in warehouses and distribution centers and displayed in retail outlets thereby reducing transportation and handling costs, while simplifying and expediting the assembly process. The invention includes a seat box sub-assembly so constructed to allow a portion of the chair back leg sub-assembly to nest therein reducing the package profile and cubic measure, as well as a front leg sub-assembly. The front leg and back leg sub-assemblies are assembled utilizing a left and right tenoned side rail which inserts into mortises on the front and back leg assemblies. The leg sub-assemblies are secured with a metal bolt, threaded on each end, housed longitudinally within a routed channel running on the exterior face of each side rail. The bolt is secured by threading one end into the pre-installed knurled nut in the back leg sub-assembly and a hex socket T-nut and washer on the face of the front leg sub-assembly. The seat box sub-assembly is fitted over the front leg sub-assembly and the left and right side rails and secured on the underside with metal bolts. With the factory manufactured pre-assemblies resulting in fewer joints, the assembled chair is stronger eliminating potential racking. On upholstered chairs, the removable outer decorative back and seat cover are positioned over the chair back and chair seat and quickly Velcro's into place. Chair covers can be removed for cleaning or retailers can sell additional covers in a variety of materials and designs without needing to stock additional chairs. Once assembled, the invention offers the distinction that no assembly hardware is visible, giving the chair a “factory made” look.
