Collapsible chair

Abstract

A collapsible chair is described, comprising a carrying frame which receives a covering (4) for a hood-like windshield and is made of support frames (1) mutually swivelable between a storage position and a sitting position and forming a foot part (1). In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the frame structure comprises at least four support frames (1) whose frame planes extending transversally to the base intersect each other in the region of a central axis (5), that the support frames (1) form a tensioning bracket (3, 3a) for the covering (4) starting from the outside of the foot part (2), which bracket acts upon two directly adjacent tensioning brackets (3a) releasing an access opening (10) between themselves, and that the foot parts (2) and tensioning brackets (3, 3a) are linked to each other in the region of the central axis (5).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a collapsible chair, comprising a carrying frame which receives a covering for a hood-like windshield and is made of support frames mutually swivelable from a storage position to a sitting position and forming a foot part.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]In order to provide a collapsible chair with a hood-like windshield, it is known (DE 100 03 663 C2) to provide a support frame which is substantially composed of two framed structures which are connected with each other in a scissor-like manner by a pivoting axle parallel to the base and carry a length of fabric forming a seat and a backrest between themselves. Telescopically extensible supports are linked to the side legs of the support frame carrying the backrest of the length of fabric, which supports carry swivelable props for opening up a hood-like windshield which is pulled over the holder formed by the supports and the linked props and is pulled down against the foot part ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0003]The invention is thus based on the object of providing a collapsible chair of the kind mentioned above in such a way that a light frame construction can be enabled without impairing the stability of the chair. Moreover, the windshield is to be opened together with setting up the frame.

[0007]Another possibility to ensure the support frames from resting on each other in a flat way in the swiveled-in storage position of the frame is obtained when the storage body are composed of mutually swivelable links which form the storage eyes for the inside legs and are swivelable against each other, so that said links are also swiveled along during the swiveling of the support frames against each other into the storage position and thus result in the mutual storage distance transversally to the frame plane of the support frames swiveled against each other.

Problems solved by technology

This means however that the support frames cannot lie flat on each other in the storage position, thus impairing the storage position of the collapsible chair.
