This Day-That IP -24th Dec 1974-Folding Chair- Patent US3856345A
“A folding seat includes a web which is supported between a pair of folding frames by three detachable cross members extending between the frames. The web forms a sling in which a person may sit. The frame members each include a horizontally extending arm with a front leg pivoted to one end thereof and a rear leg pivoted to the other end thereof. The rear leg is pivoted to fold against and along the arm while the front leg is equipped with a dogleg so that it pivots over and along the rear leg.”
So next time you sit on a folding chair, maybe it is Charles Buckley’s IP you may thank !
Also shows innovations (and patents) are there in many common day items we see around us !
Come to think of it, everything must have been thought up by someone at some time !
