Abstract
Abstract A collapsible back pack chair adapted to be carried on the back of a user. The chair comprises a frame having a seat pivotally attached to its bottom edge. The seat has an elongated leg mounted on its bottom surface which forms a unit therewith. In use, the frame is attached to the back of the user through utilization of straps or the like. When the frame is so attached to the back of the user, the seat and leg may be pivoted as a unit from a stored position in which the leg is upright, adjacent to the frame, to an open position in which the free end of the leg is brought into contact with the ground, thereby providing support for the seat which will be located beneath the user in a position for sitting thereon.
