Traditional folding chairs require support from objects or to be laid flat when placed, lacking stability and convenience.
A Σ-shaped folding chair was designed, which adopts a first support component and a second support component symmetrically arranged. By combining the first folding component and the second folding component, and through the design of hinges and adapters, the support rod can be stably unfolded and smoothly supported when inverted. It is equipped with hinge plates and limit plates to ensure unfolding stability, and pads are used to prevent the chair fabric from contacting the ground when inverted.
This allows the folding chair to be placed stably without relying on other objects, improving its convenience and stability while keeping the chair fabric clean and hygienic.

[0031] Furthermore, both ends of the fourth support rod 140 and both ends of the eighth support rod 240 are provided with first pads 170.
[0032] Furthermore, the Σ-shaped folding chair includes a first hinge piece and a second hinge piece 270. The first support rod 110 has a first limiting piece at its middle portion, and the first limiting piece has a first adjusting hole at its middle portion. The upper end of the first hinge piece is hinged to the middle portion of the third support rod 130, and one end of the first hinge piece is hinged to the first limiting piece through the first adjusting hole. The fifth support rod 210 has a second limiting piece 260 at its middle portion, and the second limiting piece 260 has a first adjusting hole at its middle portion. The upper end of the second hinge piece 270 is hinged to the middle portion of the seventh support rod 230, and one end of the second hinge piece 270 is hinged to the second limiting piece 260 through the second adjusting hole.
[0033] Working Principle: When using the Σ-shaped folding chair, unfolding the first support assembly, the second support assembly, the first folding assembly, and the second folding assembly—that is, pulling them forward and backward to unfold the first and second folding assemblies, and pulling them left and right to unfold the first and second support assemblies—also unfolds the chair fabric, allowing it to support the user's weight. When unfolding the Σ-shaped folding chair, the first hinge piece, in conjunction with the first limiting piece, provides additional support for the third support rod 130 and acts as a limiter through the first adjustment hole. Similarly, the second hinge piece 270, in conjunction with the second limiting piece 260, provides support for the seventh support rod 230, and the first adjustment hole also acts as a limiter. The first limiting hole 261 and the second limiting hole not only ensure the rotation of the third support rod 130 and the seventh support rod 230 but also ensure their limiting. Meanwhile, the hinge joints of the third support rod 130 and the fourth folding rod 410, as well as the hinge joints of the seventh support rod 230 and the fifth folding rod 420, are all equipped with limiting components to restrict the unfolding angle, thus ensuring stability during unfolding. When the Σ-shaped folding chair is folded up, the first support assembly, the second support assembly, the first folding assembly, and the second folding assembly are all folded up, and the Σ-shaped folding chair is inverted. Since the first support rod 110 and the fifth support rod 210 are Σ-shaped, the Σ-shaped folding chair can be placed flat, ensuring its stability when inverted. In addition, the support of the first pad 170 prevents the chair fabric from contacting the ground when inverted, thus preventing the chair fabric from getting dirty and making it cleaner and more hygienic.
[0034] Second embodiment.
[0035] This embodiment provides a Σ-shaped folding chair. Compared with the first embodiment described above, this embodiment also provides: the lower end of the first support rod 110 is provided with a first reinforcing part, and the lower end of the second support rod 120 is provided with a second reinforcing part, wherein the first reinforcing part and the second reinforcing part are spirally twisted.
[0036] The first and second reinforcing parts in this embodiment enhance the structural strength of the first support rod 110 and the second support rod 120, and are also more aesthetically pleasing.
[0037] Third embodiment.
[0038] This embodiment provides a Σ-shaped folding chair. Compared with the first embodiment described above, this embodiment also provides: a first hanging member 150 is provided at the right end of the fourth support rod 140, and a first hanging hole 151 is provided at the lower right end of the first hanging member 150; a second hanging member 250 is provided at the right end of the eighth support rod 240, and a second hanging hole 251 is provided at the lower right end of the second hanging member 250.
[0039] When the Σ-shaped folding chair is folded up, the first hanging piece 150 and the second hanging piece 250 function as the first pad 170, supporting the chair and preventing the chair fabric from touching the ground directly. Furthermore, when the Σ-shaped folding chair is unfolded, items can be hung using the first hanging opening 151 and the second hanging opening 251, thus serving multiple purposes.
[0040] Fourth embodiment.
[0041] This embodiment provides a Σ-shaped folding chair. Compared with the first embodiment described above, this embodiment also provides: a first decorative plate is provided at the front end of the second support rod 120, a second decorative plate is provided at the rear end of the sixth support rod 220, a third decorative plate is provided at the upper end of the first support rod 110, and a fourth decorative plate is provided at the upper end of the fifth support rod 210.
[0042] The first and second decorative panels can enhance the second support rod 120 and the sixth support rod 220. The third and fourth decorative panels not only serve a decorative purpose, but also, because they are positioned on the armrest, prevent the arms from directly contacting the metal first support rod 110 and the fifth support rod 210, thus avoiding them from becoming scalding hot in summer or icy cold in winter, ensuring a more comfortable user experience.
[0043] It is worth mentioning that the technical features of decorative panels, chair fabrics, etc. involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement methods of these technical features can be adopted using conventional choices in the field, and should not be regarded as the utility model point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not be further elaborated in detail.
[0044] For those skilled in the art, modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
