DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(4) With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 3 thereof, example of the instant space saving convertible seat and chest of drawers apparatus employing the principles and concepts of the present space saving convertible seat and chest of drawers apparatus and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.

(5) Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3 a preferred embodiment of the present space saving convertible seat and chest of drawers apparatus 10 is illustrated.

(6) The present space saving convertible seat and chest of drawers apparatus 10 has been devised to enable efficient space saving arrangement wherein a first chair 20a and a second chair 20b are positional as a set of two, separate chairs, or re-positional with the first chair 20a inverted and stacked superimposed upon a seat of a second chair 20b to form a chest of drawers 100.

(7) Each of the first and second chair 20a, 20b, therefore, includes a seat 22 disposed angled from a rear edge 24 up towards a front edge 26 whereby position of the first chair 20a inverted, to position said first chair's 20a seat 22 atop the second chair's 20b seat 22, enables action of gravity to maintain inverted engagement of said first chair 20a atop the second chair 20b.

(8) Each of the first and second chairs 20a, 20b also includes a back 28 disposed as an angled, faceted surface 30 conjunct the seat 22 rear edge 24. The back 28 comprises a continuous surface disposed from any ground surface upon which each said chair 20a, 20b is positioned, to an upmost extremity 32 of said back 28. The faceted surface 30 includes a first angled portion 34, disposed up from said ground surface; a second angled portion 36, disposed atop the first angled portion 34 and obliquely angled relative the first angled portion 34, said second angled portion 36 conjunct the first angled portion 34 at a first transverse axis 40, which first transverse axis 40 is disposed protruding farthermost backwards from the back 28; and a third angled portion 38, disposed atop the second angled portion 36 obliquely angled relative said second angled portion 36, said third angled portion 38 conjunct the second angled portion 36 at a second transverse axis 42 disposed protruded farthermost frontwards from the back 28. Thus the back 28 faceted surface 30 comprises angled portions 34, 36, 38 disposed conjunct a first transverse axis 40 protruded farthermost backwards form the back 20 and a second transverse axis 42 disposed protruding farthermost frontwards from said back 28.

(9) In an example embodiment illustrated herewith, the first transverse axis 40 is disposed upon the faceted surface 30 approximately midway between the seat 22 and an underlying ground surface and the second transverse axis 42 is disposed approximately midway between said seat 22 and the utmost extremity 32 of the back 28.

(10) Each of said first and second chairs 20a, 20b further includes a front apron 44 disposed as an angled, concave surface 46 disposed from the seat 22 front edge 26 to an underlying ground surface. The concave surface 46 has a first portion 48 disposed in parallel with the second angled portion 36 of the back 28. The first portion 48 is angularly disposed relative a second portion 50, disposed in parallel with the first angled portion 34 of the back 28. The first and second portions 48, 50 are disposed obliquely convergent at a medial transverse axis 52 therebetween, said medial transverse axis 52 disposed parallel the first transverse axis 40 of the back 28.

(11) Thus, when the first chair 20a is inverted for position with seat 22 disposed atop the seat 22 of the second chair 20b, and the first and second chairs 20a, 20b thereby render the chest of drawers 100, the front apron 44 of the first chair 20a nests flushly into the back 28 of the second chair 20b, whereby the medial transverse axis 52 of the front apron 44 is positional conjunct the second transverse axis 42 of the back 28.

(12) Each of the first and second chairs 20a, 20b includes a drawer 54 disposed under the seat 22. The drawer 54 is slidable within a transverse plane relative the chair 20a, 20b and is thereby usable for storage. The drawer 54 includes a handle member 56. The drawer 54 is invertible and reversibly positional beneath the seat 22, as desired, whereby the drawer 54 is positional upright when the chair 20a, 20b is disposed in an upright position and the drawer 54 may be turned upright when the chair 20a, 20b is inverted for use when each of the first and second chair 20a, 20b is disposed stacked as a chest of drawers 100.

(13) Thus the first chair 20a is superimposable inverted onto the second chair 20b, the seat 22 of the first chair 20a fits flushly onto the seat 22 of the second chair 20b when said first chair 20a is inverted, the back 28 of the first chair 20a fits flush overlying the front apron 44 of the second chair 20b, and the front apron 44 of the first chair 20a nestles flush into the back 28 of the second chair 20b, each back 28 of the first and second chairs 20a, 20b thereby formative of respective sides of a chest of drawers 100, whereby the first and second chairs 20a, 20b are arrangeable as a set of two chairs 20a, 20b separately disposed or as a single chest of drawers 100, as desired.
