    (54) Leisure furniture article


    (57) An article of furniture (bed, chair, deck-chair, etc.) for camping, for the beach or for similar uses, which comprises a rectangular perimetric tubular frame (10) which is provided with ground-resting legs (16,17,18) articulated thereto and which is divided by joints (14,15) into at least two sections (11,12,13); one end section (13) has no legs. The frame supports, inside it, a resting means (19) made of fabric, net or the like. The joint (15) between the legless section (13) and the rest (11,12) comprises an end element (30) of the legless section and an end element (31) of a leg which are articulated, for each side, between two wings (26) rigidly coupled to the adjacent section (12); respective toothed sectors (34,35) are provided on these end elements and are suitable to mesh together, blocking mutual rotations. Engagement elements (20) allow to support the resting means (19) on the frame (10). These engagement elements comprise a hook portion (23) for engaging with the frame tube (10), a clamping portion (25) with a pair of elastic hook ends (25c,25d) for engaging a rod element (22) connected to the perimetric edge (21) of the resting means (19), and an intermediate elastic portion (24) comprising a series of interconnected tubes, connected between the hook portion (23) and the clamping portion (25).
