Le tissu dassise 202 est monte sur ltensemble de pied 201. Lorsque l 'ensemble de pied 201 est ouvert, ['ensemble de pied 201 forme un cadre de chaise et le tissu d'assise 202 est egalement ouvert par les organes de pied afin de former une base de siege. Le tissu d'assise est forme dun morceau de textile fort, rea lise en toile ou en un autre textile synthetique. Le dossier inclinable 203 comporte une padre d'organes support 2031. Le tissu de dossier monte sur le dossier inclinable 203 est une extension du tissu d'assise 202 qui est fixe sur les deux organes supports 2031. Chaque o organe support 2031 est relic a ['ensemble de pied 201 par un ensemble d' articulation 2001. En plus de la liaison de l'organe support 2031 a ['ensemble de pied 201, chaque ensemble darticulation 2001 fournit egalement la fonction de commandes de l' angle d'incli  The seat fabric 202 is mounted on the foot assembly 201. When the foot assembly 201 is open, the foot assembly 201 forms a chair frame and the seat fabric 202 is also opened by the foot members to form a seat base. The seat fabric is formed from a piece of strong fabric, made of canvas or another synthetic textile. The reclining backrest 203 comprises a pad of support members 2031.

La Fig. 2 represente une vue eclatee a plus grande echelle de lensemble d' articulation 2001 selon un mode de realisation de l' invention. L'organe support 2031 est loge dans un trou traversant 2002 forme dans l'en o semble darticulation 2001. Un organe en dents de scie 2032 est forme d'une seule piece sur l'extremite inferieure de l'organe support 2031. La partie supe rieure du trou traversant 2002 est conformee de maniere que ltorgane support 2031 puisse etre incline tel que represente sur la Fig. 1. L'extremite inferieure de l'organe support 2031 est supportee a pivotement par une tige de pivotement qui a une extremite fixee sur une paroi laterale du trou traversant 2002 et l'autre extremite situee sur une autre paroi laterale. La par tie inferieure du trou traversant 2002 a suffisamment d'espace pour que ltorgane support 2031 soit incline et que l'organe en dents de scie 2032 soit tourne dans la  Fig. 2 represents an exploded view on a larger scale of the articulation assembly 2001 according to an embodiment of the invention. The support member 2031 is housed in a through hole 2002 formed in the joint hinge 2001. A sawtooth member 2032 is formed in one piece on the lower end of the support member 2031. The part of the through hole 2002 conforms so that the support member 2031 can be tilted as shown in FIG. 1. The lower end of the support member 2031 is pivotally supported by a pivot rod which has one end fixed to a side wall of the through hole 2002 and the other end located on another side wall. The lower part of the through hole 2002 has enough space for the support member 2031 to be inclined and for the sawtooth member 2032 to be turned in the

limite d'une plage angulaire.limit of an angular range.

L' ensemble d' articulation 2001 inclut un disposi tif de commande qui comprend un bloc d'ajustement 2003, une poignee 2004, un organe elastique 2005, et un bou ton de commande 2008. Un canal traversant 2006, relic au trou traversant 2002, est forme dans ['ensemble darticulation 2001. Le bloc dajustement 2003, qui est dispose dans le canal traversant 2006, peut etre deplace horizontalement de maniere a etre mis en prise avec l'organe en dents de scie 2032 dans la partie inferieure du trou traversant 2002. Le bloc dajuste ment 2003 est forme d'une seule piece avec la poi gnee 2004 qui passe par l'organe elastique 2005 et une o ouverture laterale 2007 du canal traversant 2006, afin  The articulation set 2001 includes a control device which includes an adjustment block 2003, a handle 2004, an elastic member 2005, and a control button 2008. A through channel 2006, relic to the through hole 2002, is formed in the hinge assembly 2001. The adjustment block 2003, which is arranged in the through channel 2006, can be moved horizontally so as to be engaged with the sawtooth member 2032 in the lower part of the through hole 2002. The 2003 adjustment block is formed in one piece with the 2004 handle passing through the elastic member 2005 and a 2007 lateral opening of the through channel 2006, in order

de relier au bouton de commande 2008.  to link to the 2008 command button.

Ainsi qu'on peut le comprendre sur la Fig. 2, l'organe elastique 2005 est bloque entre le bloc d'ajustement 2003 et l'ouverture laterale 2007. Lorsque le bouton de commande 2008 est en position neutre, la force elastique de l'organe elastique 2005 pousse le  As can be understood in FIG. 2, the elastic member 2005 is blocked between the adjustment block 2003 and the lateral opening 2007. When the control button 2008 is in the neutral position, the elastic force of the elastic member 2005 pushes the

bloc d'ajustement 2003 dans le trou traversant 2002.  adjustment block 2003 in the through hole 2002.

L'organe en dents de scie 2032 est ainsi mis en prise avec et bloque par le bloc d'ajustement 2003. Si le bouton de commande est tire horizontalement, le bloc  The serrated member 2032 is thus engaged with and blocked by the adjustment block 2003. If the control button is pulled horizontally, the block

ton de commande 2008 peut etre relache pour mettre en prise le bloc d'ajustement 2003 avec ltorgane en dents de scie 2032. L'organe en dents de scie 2032 comporte une pluralite de dents de scie devant permettre la mise en prise avec le bloc d'ajustement 203 sous differents angles. La Fig. 3 represente une vue eclatee, a plus grande echelle, de l' ensemble d' articulation 2001 selon un mode de realisation de l' invention. Dans ce mode de realisation ['ensemble darticulation 2001 inclut un dispositif de commande qui comprend un bloc dajuste l, ment 2003, une poignee 2004, un organe elastique 2005, une liaison d'accouplement 4001, une bielle d'accouple ment 4002 et un bouton de commande 4003. Ainsi qu'on peut le voir d'apres la Fig. 3, le bouton de com mande 4003 est couple a la poignee 2004 a l' aide de la liaison d'accouplement 4001 et de la tige d'accouple ment 4002. Pour ajuster l' angle d'inclinaison du dos sier inclinable dans ce mode de realisation, le bouton  order tone 2008 can be released to engage the 2003 adjustment block with the 2032 sawtooth member. The 2032 sawtooth member has a plurality of saw teeth to allow engagement with the 2032 saw block '203 adjustment from different angles. Fig. 3 represents an exploded view, on a larger scale, of the articulation assembly 2001 according to an embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the articulation assembly 2001 includes a control device which includes a block adjusted in 2003, a handle 2004, an elastic member 2005, a coupling link 4001, a coupling rod 4002 and a control button 4003. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the control button 4003 is coupled to the handle 2004 using the coupling link 4001 and the coupling rod 4002. To adjust the angle of inclination of the reclining back in this mode of realization, the button

de commande 4003 est pousse au lieu d'etre tire.  4003 is pushed instead of pulled.

o Telle qu'illustre sur la Fig. 3, la liaison d'ac couplement 4001 comporte deux bras 4004. Un bras est loge dans un trou d'accouplement 4005 forme sur la poi gnee 2004, et l'autre bras est loge dans un trou d'ac couplement 4006 forme sur la tige d'accouplement 4002 qui est connectee au bouton de commande 4003. Une tige de pivotement passant a travers la liaison d'accouple ment 4001 entre les deux bras 4004 fixe la liaison d'accouplement 4001 sur la structure de ltensemble d' articulation 2001. En poussant le bouton de com mande 4003 vers ltensemble d' articulation 2001, la liaison daccouplement 4001 est tournee par pivotement afin de deplacer la poignee 2004 et le bloc d'ajuste ment 2003 horizontalement pour obtenir un ecartement vis-a-vis du trou traversant 2002 pour un passage hors  o As illustrated in Fig. 3, the coupling link 4001 has two arms 4004. One arm is housed in a coupling hole 4005 formed on the handle 2004, and the other arm is housed in a coupling hole 4006 formed on the coupling rod 4002 which is connected to the control button 4003. A pivot rod passing through the coupling link 4001 between the two arms 4004 fixes the coupling link 4001 on the structure of the articulation assembly 2001. By pushing the control button 4003 towards the articulation assembly 2001, the coupling link 4001 is rotated by pivoting in order to move the handle 2004 and the adjustment block 2003 horizontally to obtain a spacing with respect to the through hole 2002 for a move out

de prise vis-a-vis des organes en dents de scie 2032.  of grip with sawtooth organs 2032.

Le dossier inclinable 203 peut ainsi etre ajuste avec differents angles jusquta ce que le bouton de com mande 4003 soit relache et que la force elastique de ltorgane elastique 2005 pousse le bloc d'ajuste so ment 2003 pour venir en prise avec et bloquer l'organe  The reclining backrest 203 can thus be adjusted with different angles until the control button 4003 is released and the elastic force of the elastic organ 2005 pushes the adjustment block 2003 to engage with and block the organ

en dents de scie 2032.sawtooth 2032.

La liaison daccouplement 4001 et la bielle d'ac-  The coupling link 4001 and the connecting rod

couplement 4002 peuvent etre agencees et fixees dans  coupling 4002 can be arranged and fixed in

l 'ensemble d' articulation 2001 de differentes manieres.  the articulation set 2001 in different ways.

Dans l'exemple represente sur la Fig. 3 elles vent logees dans une cavite 4007 formee dans ['ensemble d' articulation 201. La liaison d'accouplement 4001 est fixee sur une paroi laterale de la cavite 4007. La bielle d'accouplement 4002 est agencee en parallele avec la poignee 2004. Lorsque le bouton de com s mande 4003 est pousse, la liaison daccouplement 4001 est tournee parce que son bras inferieur 4004 est cou ple a la tige daccouplement 4002 reliee au bouton de commande 4003. La rotation de la liaison d'accouple ment 4001 fait que son bras superieur 4004 deplace la o poignee 2004 et ainsi ecarte horizontalement le bloc  In the example shown in FIG. 3 they are housed in a cavity 4007 formed in the articulation assembly 201. The coupling link 4001 is fixed to a side wall of the cavity 4007. The coupling rod 4002 is arranged in parallel with the handle 2004. When the control button 4003 is pushed, the coupling link 4001 is rotated because its lower arm 4004 is coupled to the coupling rod 4002 connected to the control button 4003. The rotation of the coupling link 4001 causes its upper arm 4004 moves the handle o 2004 and thus spreads the block horizontally

Le pied superieur 2012 peut etre loge dans le pied inferieur 2013 qui a un diametre legerement superieur au pied superieur 2012. Par consequent la longueur de  The upper foot 2012 can be accommodated in the lower foot 2013 which has a diameter slightly greater than the upper foot 2012. Therefore the length of

Il va egalement sans dire que, lorsque le dossier inclinable 203 de la chaise pliante est incline, la longueur des accoudoirs 204 doit etre etendue pour s' adapter a la plus grande distance qu'on a entre le dossier inclinable et ltorgane formant pied avant. De maniere correspondante chaque accoudoir 204 comprend une partie elastique 2041 qui peut etre etiree pour stajuster a la longueur, telle qutillustre sur la Fig. 1. Dans la presente invention la force elastique  It also goes without saying that, when the reclining backrest 203 of the folding chair is tilted, the length of the armrests 204 must be extended to adapt to the greatest distance that there is between the reclining backrest and the member forming the front leg. Correspondingly each armrest 204 includes an elastic part 2041 which can be stretched to adjust to the length, as illustrated in FIG. 1. In the present invention the elastic force
