US Patent 10485348 Folding chair with reduced footprint

A chair including a support, a backrest with a backrest frame hingedly connected to the support, a seat bottom with a seat frame hingedly connected to the backrest and a bracket extending rearward from the seat frame, a linkage arm with a proximal end hingedly connected to the support at a fixed vertical position and a distal end hingedly connected to the bracket, and a return mechanism. Rotation of the seat bottom from a closed position to an open position causes, by way of interaction between the linkage arm and the bracket, the seat bottom to move forward from the support and the backrest to rotate about the support and recline.
