Abstract
Abstract A sun chair is provided which is easily adjustable to achieve any conceivable orientation to which the human body will conform and comprises a lower platform which forms the bottom half of the chair deck and can be oriented to any angle between the horizontal and the vertical and supported in this position by a ground supporting member which is drawn toward the lower platform by either a strap or a rack structure, and an upper platform defining the upper half of the chair deck is pivoted to the lower half and supported on the ground support member such that it may achieve any conceivable angle relative to the lower platform.
