CAMP CHAIR.
On more than one occasion we have noticed the improvements in household furniture made by Mr. Tachezi ; and he now invites attention to his "Prince of Wales's revolving centre or folding camp chair." The chair is formed of strips of iron fastened to a centre, and when in use re- sembles two small skeleton umbrellas in contact at their apex; the lower skeleton forms the legs of the chair, whilst the upper skeleton, having a piece of morocco leather (of double thickness), or other strong mate- rial, fastened to the upper points of the diverging ribs, serves for the seat. The lower skeleton has also fitted in its apex a socket into which is placed, provided with a shoulder, the apex of the upper skeleton so that any one sitting on the chair can without effort turn in any direction, without rising. The chair can be provided with arms, a back, an um- brella over head, and a table in front. When taken to pieces each ske • leton closes up like an umbrella, and the whole can be packed in a space of five inches by fifteen inches; the weight being from three to fifteen pounds, according to the strength required. The smallest specimen chair is capable of sustaining three hundred weight. For the camp, lawns, balconies, on ship board, or in boating excursions, the proprietor considers he has introduced a novelty likely to be highly serviceable.
