[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a seat foot pad, which is connected to the tubular foot 1.

[0045] The seat foot pad includes a connecting support 2, an adapting pad 3, and a screw 4. The screw 4 passes through the connecting support 2 and connects to the tubular foot 1; the adapting pad 3 is connected to the connecting support 2; and the adapting pad 3 is connected to the screw 4.

[0046] The connecting support 2 is provided with a first accommodating space 2.1, a second accommodating space 2.2, and a through hole 2.3. The first accommodating space 2.1 and the second accommodating space 2.2 are respectively located at both ends of the connecting support 2, and the first accommodating space 2.1 and the second accommodating space 2.2 are connected through the through hole 2.3. The diameter of the through hole 2.3 is smaller than the diameter of the first accommodating space 2.1 and the second accommodating space 2.2.

[0047] The tubular foot 1 includes a lower end 1.1, and a threaded connection hole 1.2 is provided on the inner side of the lower end 1.1; the lower end 1.1 is placed in the first accommodating space 2.1.

[0048] The adaptation pad 3 is placed within the second accommodating space 2.2.

[0049] The connecting support 2 is sleeved on the outside of the tubular foot 1, and there is a certain gap between the inner wall of the connecting support 2 and the outer wall of the tubular foot 1 (the inner wall of the connecting support 2 is not in contact with the outer wall of the tubular foot 1).

[0050] The screw 4 includes a head 4.1 and a tail 4.2; the head 4.1 and the tail 4.2 are connected; the tail 4.2 is provided with external threads.

[0051] The threaded connection hole 1.2 on the inner side of the lower end 1.1 of the connecting support 2 is provided with an internal thread; the internal thread matches the external thread.
