Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding chairs, and more particularly to a folding chair. Background Technology

[0002] Folding chairs, as a type of highly practical portable seating, play an important role in many fields due to their foldable nature. In everyday life, whether it's family gatherings, outdoor picnics, or temporarily adding seating indoors, folding chairs can quickly meet people's seating needs thanks to their ease of storage and portability. In public places such as libraries, train stations, and temporary event venues, folding chairs have become an important tool for handling large flows of people and temporary seating needs. In the field of emergency rescue, folding chairs can also provide necessary rest and support for disaster victims and rescue workers during disasters. However, most folding chairs on the market currently only present a fixed position when unfolded, and their backrest tilt cannot be adjusted according to actual usage needs. This single-state design exposes many obvious problems when facing diverse usage scenarios and different user needs.

[0003] When picnicking or camping outdoors, people often want to enjoy nature in a more relaxed manner. In this case, if a folding chair could be adjusted to a certain recline angle, users could lean back more comfortably, relax, and better immerse themselves in the outdoor leisure atmosphere. However, existing fixed-angle folding chairs cannot meet this need; users are forced to maintain a relatively upright sitting posture, which can easily lead to fatigue after prolonged use.

[0004] In offices, libraries, and other places where concentration is required for work or study, users typically need to maintain a relatively upright posture to ensure good visibility and body alignment. While fixed-angle folding chairs can meet this need to some extent, prolonged use may lead to neck and back pain and discomfort because users cannot fine-tune the angle to their own comfort level. For special groups such as the elderly, pregnant women, and people with disabilities, the chair's tilt angle has even more specific requirements. For example, the elderly may need a certain tilt to reduce body pressure and facilitate getting up and sitting down due to declining physical function; pregnant women in their late pregnancy also need a more comfortable sitting posture to alleviate physical strain as their abdomen grows. Existing fixed-angle folding chairs cannot be personalized for these special groups, making it difficult to meet their actual needs. Everyone's body structure, sitting habits, and comfort levels are different. Fixed-angle folding chairs cannot be adjusted according to individual user differences, causing many users to be unable to find the most suitable sitting posture, thus affecting comfort. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, to address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a folding chair. It solves the technical problem that folding chairs are difficult to adjust the backrest tilt and have poor comfort.

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

[0007] A folding chair includes a seat frame, a back frame, a front leg, a rear leg, two armrests, and two extension members. The lower end of the back frame is rotatably connected to the rear end of the seat frame. The front leg is rotatably connected to the side of the seat frame. One end of the extension member is rotatably connected to the rear leg, and the other end of the extension member is rotatably connected to the seat frame. The upper end of the front leg is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rear leg to form a connecting part. The rear ends of the two armrests are rotatably connected to the back frame. Each armrest has at least two locking slots. The connecting part can engage one of the locking slots to adjust the angle of the back frame. The seat frame has a seat portion, and the back frame has a backrest.

[0008] Further:

[0009] The bottom of the handrail is provided with a locking seat, and the locking slot is located on the locking seat.

[0010] The card holder is provided with a horizontal groove, the card slot is connected to the horizontal groove, and the card slot is located at the upper end of the horizontal groove.

[0011] The upper end of the locking slot is tilted forward.

[0012] The number of the card slots is three.

[0013] The extension includes two side plates, a first pivot connected to one end of the side plates, and a second pivot connected to the other end of the side plates. The first pivot passes through the rear leg, and the second pivot is connected to the seat frame.

[0014] The second pivot is equipped with a backrest, which can be supported and fixed against the back frame when the folding chair is unfolded.

[0015] The extension is equipped with a backrest, which can be supported and fixed against the back frame when the folding chair is unfolded.

[0016] The backrest is an elastic sheet.

[0017] The backrest and the seat are made of a single piece of support fabric.

[0018] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This folding chair extension acts as a support lever, altering the seat's tilt. At least two locking slots on the armrests engage with the connecting parts formed by the front and rear legs, allowing users to select different slots to precisely adjust the backrest angle and meet comfort needs in various scenarios. This folding chair flexibly adapts to different usage scenarios and user needs, providing comfortable and stable seating support whether at home, in the office, or on outdoor travel. The specially designed backrest on the extension rests against the backrest when the chair is unfolded, providing additional support and enhancing overall stability, preventing structural instability or tipping risks due to excessive tilting. The backrest is made of elastic material, providing cushioning during support, reducing discomfort from hard contact, and adapting to changes in angle during folding, maintaining structural flexibility and durability. The locking slot design, especially its forward-tilted upper end, makes engaging and disengaging the connecting parts smoother, reducing operational difficulty and improving the user experience. The backrest and seat are made of one-piece molded support fabric, which not only simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces costs, but also makes the overall seat lighter, easier to carry and store.
