US Patent 10357098 Carrying strap for folding furniture

A folding chair has a carrying strap attached across the chair from a top brace to a rear leg of the chair. The carrying strap may pass across the chair's center of gravity. Alternatively, the carrying strap may be offset from the chair's center of gravity and may have an upper end made sufficiently broad so as to resist a swinging force imparted by the offset. Duplicate carrying straps may be provided to enable carrying the chair like a backpack.
