Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seating technology, and in particular to an elastic support bar stool. Background Technology

[0002] Bar stools are chairs used in conjunction with a bar counter; bar stools also come in different heights, and some bar stools can be adjusted. The term "bar counter" originally came from places with the word "bar" in their names, such as bars and internet cafes, and represented the main service counter (cashier counter) of these places; it is also used to refer to the main service counter of some modern entertainment and leisure service places such as restaurants and hotels.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN221229038U discloses a height-adjustable bar stool, comprising: a base, a pneumatic rod fixedly mounted on the top of the base, a seat cushion fixedly mounted on one end of the pneumatic rod, a pull handle on one side of the seat cushion, and a telescopic assembly disposed on the surface of the pneumatic rod. The telescopic assembly includes a telescopic sleeve, a telescopic rod slidably connected inside the telescopic sleeve, and a telescopic spring disposed at one end of the telescopic rod inside the telescopic sleeve. This utility model provides a height-adjustable bar stool where, by pulling the handle, the pneumatic rod extends to one side, causing the seat cushion and telescopic assembly to move to one side, thereby simultaneously moving the support frame to a suitable position. This facilitates the movement and height adjustment of the seat cushion and support frame. Furthermore, by using a fixing groove in conjunction with the fixing handle, fixing spring, and fixing assembly, the support frame can be raised and lowered independently, facilitating the positioning and limiting of the support frame after it has been moved to the desired position.

[0004] In the above solution, the bar stool has a stable and non-disassembled structure, resulting in a large overall packaging volume, low container loading capacity, and high transportation costs. In addition, the bar stool structure cannot provide elastic support, which means that the bar stool does not have cushioning and shock absorption functions and does not provide sufficient comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention aims to provide an elastically supported bar stool. The seat is configured in a U-shape, and the support legs in a Z-shape, creating elastic spaces on both the seat and the support legs to provide elastic support. This allows the bar stool to have cushioning and shock absorption functions, increasing comfort. Furthermore, the seat and support legs are detachable, as are the support legs and footrests. The detachable support legs reduce packaging volume, increase container capacity, and lower transportation costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A flexible support bar stool includes a seat and support legs mounted on the bottom of the seat. The seat is U-shaped, forming a first elastic space that allows for vertical rebound. The support legs are Z-shaped, with a second elastic space between the upper support rod and the inclined support rod, and a third elastic space between the inclined support rod and the lower support rod.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the chair seat is U-shaped, forming a first elastic space with vertical rebound. The support leg is Z-shaped, forming a second elastic space with vertical rebound between the upper support rod and the diagonal support rod, and a third elastic space with vertical rebound between the diagonal support rod and the lower support rod. The first elastic space provides direct elastic support to the user, the second elastic space provides elastic support to the entire chair seat, and the third elastic space provides elastic support to the diagonal support rod and above, thus giving the bar stool cushioning and shock absorption functions and increasing user comfort.

[0009] Preferably, the support leg includes two symmetrically arranged Z-shaped frames. The upper support rod, lower support rod, and diagonal support rod of the support leg are respectively the upper beam, lower beam, and diagonal beam of the two Z-shaped frames. A connecting pipe is provided between the two lower beams. Openings are formed on both sides and the rear side of the chair seat, and the end of the upper beam is located below the front side of the chair seat. In this technical solution, the support leg includes two Z-shaped frames, which are connected as a whole by a connecting pipe, making the entire support leg structure more stable.

[0010] Preferably, the Z-shaped frame is tilted outwards from top to bottom relative to the seat. In this technical solution, the smaller angle at which the Z-shaped frame tilts outwards from top to bottom relative to the seat is more conducive to the support of the entire support leg.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the chair seat is formed with multiple connecting columns, the lower end of which has a connecting hole. Multiple connecting pieces are provided on the opposite inner sides of the two upper beams, abutting the lower ends of the connecting columns. Each connecting piece has a slotted hole corresponding to the connecting hole. In this design, the chair seat rests against the upper beams, the connecting columns extend between the two upper beams and abut against the connecting pieces, and screws are screwed into the slotted holes and connecting holes to connect the chair seat and support legs. This design facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, and the slotted holes allow for easy alignment with the connecting holes during installation.

[0012] Preferably, the inner ends of the two lower beams are bent to form connecting pipes, the diameter of which is the same as that of the connecting pipes, and inserts are provided on both sides of the connecting pipes to be inserted into the connecting pipes. In this technical solution, the connecting pipes and the connecting pipes are connected by inserts, which facilitates easy assembly and disassembly.

[0013] Preferably, a sleeve is fitted over the outer side of the connecting pipe and the connecting tube, the sleeve covering the connection between the connecting pipe and the connecting tube; a pad is formed at the bottom of the sleeve. In this technical solution, the sleeve improves the connection strength between the connecting pipe and the connecting tube, conceals gaps, and is more aesthetically pleasing; the pad formed at the bottom of the sleeve provides support and prevents the rear side of the support foot from contacting the ground and rubbing against it, thus preventing wear on the support foot.

[0014] Preferably, an anti-slip pad is fixedly provided on the lower outer end of the lower beam. In this technical solution, the anti-slip pad prevents the front side of the bottom of the support foot from contacting and rubbing against the ground, thus preventing wear on the support foot. Furthermore, the bottom of the anti-slip pad is slightly lower than the bottom of the rear pad, so the support frame is slightly tilted backward on the ground, which is more conducive to support.

[0015] Preferably, the system also includes a foot pedal tube connecting the two inclined beams. Both ends of the foot pedal tube have tabs that fit onto the inclined beams, and the tabs have corresponding fixing holes on the inclined beams. In this technical solution, tabs are provided on both sides of the foot pedal tube, and screws are screwed into the fixing holes between the tabs and the inclined beams to fix the foot pedal tube and the support leg together. This makes assembly and disassembly very convenient, and the fixing holes on the tabs are oblong, which facilitates installation.

[0016] Preferably, the chair seat includes an upper seat plate, a lower seat plate, and a connecting plate connecting the upper and lower seat plates. A baffle is formed upwards at the rear end of the upper seat plate, and the upper seat plate, the baffle, and the connecting plate are recessed in the middle. In this design, the recesses on the upper seat plate and the baffle conform better to the buttocks, providing a more enveloping feel; while the recess in the middle of the connecting plate enhances support strength to some extent.

[0017] Preferably, the chair seat is made of PP fiberglass composite material. In this technical solution, the chair seat is made of PP fiberglass composite material, which has high tensile strength, flexural strength and flexural modulus, while its impact resistance is significantly enhanced, it is not prone to stress cracking, and its structure is stable, thus enabling the chair seat to have an automatic reset function.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 The illustrated elastic support bar stool includes a seat 1 and support legs 2 supported at the bottom of the seat 1. The seat 1 is U-shaped, with a first elastic space 3 forming within it that allows for vertical rebound. The support legs 2 are Z-shaped, with a second elastic space 4 formed between the upper support rod and the inclined support rod of the support legs 2, and a third elastic space 5 formed between the inclined support rod and the lower support rod of the support legs 2.

[0031] In the above technical solution, the chair seat is U-shaped, forming a first elastic space with vertical rebound. The support leg is Z-shaped, forming a second elastic space with vertical rebound between the upper support rod and the diagonal support rod, and a third elastic space with vertical rebound between the diagonal support rod and the lower support rod. The first elastic space provides direct elastic support to the user, the second elastic space provides elastic support to the entire chair seat, and the third elastic space provides elastic support to the diagonal support rod and above, thus giving the bar stool cushioning and shock absorption functions and increasing user comfort.

[0032] Furthermore, the support leg 2 includes two symmetrically arranged Z-shaped frames 6. The upper support rod, lower support rod, and diagonal support rod of the support leg 2 are respectively the upper beam 7, lower beam 8, and diagonal beam 9 of the two Z-shaped frames 6. A connecting pipe 10 is provided between the two lower beams 8. Openings are formed on both sides and the rear side of the chair seat 1. The end of the upper beam 7 is located below the front side of the chair seat 1. In this technical solution, the support leg includes two Z-shaped frames, which are connected as a whole by a connecting pipe, making the entire support leg structure more stable.

[0033] It should be noted that, in order to improve the support strength of the Z-shaped frame, thick-walled steel pipes are used for the Z-shaped frame.

[0034] Furthermore, the Z-shaped frame 6 is tilted outward from top to bottom relative to the seat 1. In this technical solution, the smaller angle at which the Z-shaped frame tilts outward from top to bottom relative to the seat is more conducive to the support of the entire support leg.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the seat 1 is formed with multiple connecting posts 11, and the lower end of each connecting post 11 has a connecting hole 12. The inner sides of the two upper beams 7 are provided with multiple connecting pieces 13 that abut against the lower ends of the connecting posts 11. Each connecting piece 13 has a waist-shaped hole 14 corresponding to the connecting hole 12. In this technical solution, the seat abuts against the upper beams, the connecting posts extend between the two upper beams and abut against the connecting pieces, and screws are screwed into the waist-shaped holes and connecting holes to connect the seat and the support legs. Disassembly and assembly are very convenient, and the waist-shaped holes facilitate installation by aligning with the connecting holes.

[0036] Furthermore, the inner ends of the two lower beams 8 are bent to form connecting pipes 15. The diameter of the connecting pipe 10 is the same as that of the connecting pipe 15. Insert pipes 16 are provided on both sides of the connecting pipe 10 to be inserted into the connecting pipe 15. In this technical solution, the connecting pipe and the connecting pipe are connected by insert pipes, which makes disassembly and assembly convenient.

[0037] Furthermore, a sleeve 17 is fitted over the outer side of the connecting pipe 10 and the connecting pipe 15, the sleeve 17 covering the connection between the connecting pipe 10 and the connecting pipe 15; a pad 18 is formed at the bottom of the sleeve 17. In this technical solution, the sleeve improves the connection strength between the connecting pipe and the connecting pipe, conceals gaps, and is more aesthetically pleasing; the pad formed at the bottom of the sleeve provides support and prevents the rear side of the support foot from contacting the ground and rubbing against it, thus preventing wear on the support foot.

[0038] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad 19 is fixedly provided on the lower outer end of the lower beam 8. In this technical solution, the anti-slip pad prevents the front side of the bottom of the support foot from contacting and rubbing against the ground, thus preventing wear on the support foot. Moreover, the bottom of the anti-slip pad is slightly lower than the bottom of the rear pad, so the support frame is slightly tilted backward on the ground, which is more conducive to support.

[0039] Furthermore, the bar stool also includes a footrest tube 20 connected between two inclined beams 9. Both ends of the footrest tube 20 are provided with tabs 21 that fit onto the inclined beams 9, and the tabs 21 and the inclined beams 9 are respectively provided with fixing holes 22. In this technical solution, tabs are provided on both sides of the footrest tube, and screws are screwed into the fixing holes between the tabs and the inclined beams to fix the footrest tube and the support legs together. This makes assembly and disassembly very convenient, and the fixing holes on the tabs are oblong, facilitating installation.

[0040] Furthermore, the chair seat 1 includes an upper seat plate 23, a lower seat plate 24, and a connecting plate 25 connecting the upper seat plate 23 and the lower seat plate 24. A baffle 26 is formed upwards at the rear end of the upper seat plate 23, and the upper seat plate 23, the baffle 26, and the connecting plate 25 are all recessed in the middle. In this technical solution, the recesses on the upper seat plate and the baffle fit the buttocks better, providing a more enveloping feel; while the recess in the middle of the connecting plate enhances the support strength to some extent.

[0041] Furthermore, the seat 1 is made of PP fiberglass composite material. In this technical solution, the seat is made of PP fiberglass composite material, which has high tensile strength, flexural strength and flexural modulus, while its impact resistance is significantly enhanced, it is not prone to stress cracking, and its structure is stable, thus enabling the seat to have an automatic reset function.

[0042] In this specific embodiment, addressing the issues of existing bar stools being non-detachable, bulky in packaging, lacking elastic support, and offering poor comfort, the above solution configures the seat in a U-shape, creating a first elastic space with vertical rebound within the seat. The support legs are configured in a Z-shape, with a second elastic space between the upper and diagonal support rods of the support legs, and a third elastic space between the diagonal and lower support rods of the support legs. The first elastic space provides direct elastic support to the user, the second provides elastic support to the entire seat, and the third provides elastic support to the diagonal support rods and above, thus giving the bar stool cushioning and shock absorption functions, increasing user comfort. The seat and support legs are detachable; the support legs can be disassembled into two Z-shaped frames and connecting tubes, and the foot pedal tube is also detachable. This reduces packaging volume, increases container capacity, and reduces transportation costs.
