Certain of the cushions are hinged to each other so that when folded up, in which state its overall shape is that of a compact, rectangular prism, it provides a footstool or hassock.

6 Claims, 7 Drawing Figures Patented May 29, 1973 2 Sheets-Sheet l Patented May 29, 1973 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Chairs and lounges, especially those designed for eye-level viewing of television, should be light in weight and readily movable from place to place since they must often be moved aside or stored. At the same time,
they should be extensive enough to provide adequate comfort for the viewer, who is usually rather stretched out horizontally on them, and yet not occupy an excessive or inconvenient amount of space when not in use. These characteristics havenot, so far as is known, been very well provided by chairs, lounges and the like currently used for this purpose. Rather the latter tend to be somewhat heavy and complex, are not readily portable, and when not in use occupy an unnecessary or inconvenient amount of space. Indeed, most of them when not in use as a chair or lounge are otherwise relatively useless. Hence the primary object of the present invention is a chair or lounge, especially for eye-level television viewing, which provides certain advantages not enjoyed by those currently in use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Each of the cushions making up the portable lounge chair and footstool of the present invention is formed wholly of a foamed plastic or rubber core simply covered with suitable fabric. No steel, wood or other rigid material is employed or needed which consequently reduces both weight and cost since only sewing is needed for assembly. The several cushions of the unit are first separately made up in appropriate shapes, hereafter described in more detail, and selected ones are then joined by additional fabric and sewing so as to form hinged joints therebetween. The latter are located in such a manner as to permit the whole unit to be readily unfolded out into a complete lounge chair and just as readily to be refolded into a compact, easily movable assembly which is useful as a footstool, all as shown in the drawings and described in the more detailed description which follows.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS but illustrating a slightly modified version.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT As shown in FIGS. 1A 1D and 2A 28, the portable footstool and lounge chair combination of the present invention consists of a total of nine individual cushions A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Hand]. Each of these is made up from a suitable plastic foam or foam rubber'block and is encased in typical fashion in a fabric cover 11 sewn thereabout and provided with beaded edges 12, all as indicated in FIGS. 1A 1D. Since there are numerous ways in which such cushions can be so made and since the manner of their covering forms no part of the present invention, this aspect of their construction is not further set forth, as it will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
The cushions A and B are identical in size, each being of rectangular prismatic shape, and are stacked horizontally one on top of the other as indicated in FIGS. 18 1D. The adjacent beaded edges 12 along the front faces of cushions A and B are sewn to each other, or otherwise joined by suitable strips of the cover fabric 11, to form hinges 13 so that the cushion A can be pivoted about the hinges 13, as indicated by the arrow A in FIG. 1C, to the position shown in FIG. 2A. The cushions C and D are also identical in size and of rectangular prismatic shape, being disposed upright along and flush with the respective side faces of cushion B, their rear faces also being flush with the rear faces of cushions A and B. Between the opposed inner faces of the cushions C and D are located two cushions E and F which together also form a rectangular prism, the rear face of cushion E being flush with the rear faces of cushions A and B and the top face of cushion B being flush with the top faces of cushions C and D. The opposed inner faces of the cushions C and D abut the respective side faces of the cushions E and F, while the front face of the cushion F is spaced rearwardly of the front faces of the cushions C and D. The cushions E and F are separated in a rearwardly inclined plane E F normal to the side faces of cushions C and D, which plane intersects the top and bottom faces of cushions E and Fmidway between their front and rear faces. The lower face'of cushion E is suitably attached to the upper face of cushion B, or if desired, cushions B and E can be made integrally as one cushion. The upper side edges of cushion E are hinged at 14 in the foregoing manner to the top inner side edges of cushions C and D, and the adjacent edges of cushions E and F at their top faces are also similarly hinged at 15 so that cushion F can be pivoted about'the hinges 15, as
indicated by the arrow F in FIG. 1C, to the position shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B.
The cushions G and H also form a rectangular prism disposed on top of cushion B at its forward end. The
'frontand side faces of cushions G and H are flush with the front and side faces of cushions A and B and the top face of cushion G is flush with the top faces of the cushions C, D, E and F, while the rear faces of cushions G and H abut the front'faces of cushions C and D, all as shown in FIGS. 1A, 1C and 1D. The cushions G and H are also separated in a rearwardly inclined plane G' H normal to the side faces of cushions A and B, which plane intersects the lower front edge of cushions G and H at the upper front edge of cushion B and the rear faces of cushions G and H between their top and bottom faces, whereby cushion G lies above cushion H. The lower edge of the front face of cushion G is also hinged in'the foregoing manner at 16 .to the upper front edge of the cushion B so that cushion G can pivot, as indicated by the arrow G in FIG. 1C, to the position shown in FIG. 2A. Finally, the cushion I, also of rectangular prismatic shape, is-disposed in the space between the opposed inner faces of cushions C and D at their forward ends and the front and rear faces respectively of cushion F and cushions G and H, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1C. A strip of fabric 17 is hinged at one end at 18lto the lower edge of the front face of cushion l and at the other end at 19 to the lower edge of the front face of cushion F (see FIG. 2A) so that it can be flopped over onto the inclined face of cushion F when the latter is in the position shown in FIG. 2A.
Accordingly, as shown in its fully folded position in FIGS. 1A 1D, the combination is a compact assembly of overall, rectangular prismatic shape which is readily portable and useful as a footstool when turned upside down so that cushion A is uppermost. When unfolded for use as a chair or lounge, the cushion A is swung about its hinges l3 and the cushion G about its hinges 16 to the positions shown in FIG. 2A, whereupon the cushion H can then be removed and placed as indicated in that Figure. Finally, the cushion F is swung about its hinges and the cushion I flopped over onto the inclined face of cushion F, all as shown in FIG. 2A. Hence, the cushions A and B form an elongated base or seat, the cushions C and D providing arm rests and the cushions E and F an inclined back rest with the cushion I acting as a neck rest and the cushions G and F as an elevated leg rest. In the alternate embodiment shown in FIG. 3 the cushion I is simply omitted and the front face of cushion F therefore abuts the rear faces of cushions G and H.
Though the invention has been described in terms of two particular embodiments, being the best modes known of carrying out the invention, it is not limited to those embodiments alone. Instead, the following claims are to be read as encompassing all modifications and adaptations of the invention falling within its spirit and scope.
