Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding chair technology, and more specifically, to a three-fold storage chair. Background Technology

[0002] Folding chairs are common items in daily life. When not in use, they can be folded away for storage, taking up little space. When needed, they can be unfolded, making them very convenient. Currently, common folding chairs are those that fold side-to-side or front-to-back. These types of folding chairs do not change in height when folded, and still occupy a considerable amount of space. Chinese patent application number 2011104021569 discloses a folding chair that can be folded back and forth for storage, but its height remains unchanged when folded, resulting in a large space occupation. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a three-fold storage chair that can be folded into three sections and occupies little space after being folded.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a three-fold storage chair, including a seat frame and two support frames arranged on the left and right sides of the seat frame. The support frame includes a front leg and a rear leg that are hinged together. The rear part of the front leg is hinged to a backrest, and the front part of the rear leg is rotatably connected to the seat frame. A limiting member is provided at the rear of the seat frame to limit the front leg and the backrest.

[0005] The support frames on both sides of the seat frame provide support for the entire folding chair. The front and rear legs are hinged together to form the support frame, creating a one-fold structure. The front part of the rear leg is rotatably connected to the seat frame, creating a two-fold structure. The rear part of the front leg is hinged to the backrest, creating a three-fold structure. When folding the chair for storage, the front and rear legs fold forward and backward, the front part of the rear leg folds vertically with the seat frame, and the rear part of the front leg folds vertically with the backrest. This three-fold storage reduces the space occupied by the folding chair, making it easy to carry and store.

[0006] Preferably, a support rod is connected between the upper parts of the two front leg rods, and the support rod supports and positions the chair seat frame.

[0007] When the folding chair is unfolded and in use, the rear of the seat frame is supported on the support rod, making it stable and reliable.

[0008] Preferably, a connector is provided between the backrest and the front leg, the connector comprising a front connector and a rear connector hinged together.

[0009] The backrest and front leg are hinged together by a connector, which makes assembly convenient and the connection reliable.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting seat is provided on the rear connecting body, and a slot is provided on the limiting seat, with the limiting component engaging and connected to the slot.

[0011] When the folding chair is fully unfolded, the slot on the limiting seat engages with the limiting component to achieve positioning of the entire folding chair and ensure its stable support.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the rear connector is inserted into the lower end of the backrest rod, and the lower end of the front connector is inserted into the upper end of the front foot rod.

[0013] The connectors are attached to the backrest and front leg posts using a plug-in method, making assembly convenient.

[0014] Preferably, the front connector and the rear connector are provided with connecting ears, which are hinged together by a hinge shaft. The front connector and the rear connector are joined together by abutting surfaces, one end of which has an L-shaped structure and the other end of which has an arc-shaped structure.

[0015] The front and rear connectors are hinged together by connecting lugs and hinge shafts, and the front and rear connectors are joined together by mating surfaces to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0016] Preferably, the chair frame includes two longitudinal bars, with a front crossbar and a rear crossbar connecting the two longitudinal bars.

[0017] The front and rear crossbars are connected between the two longitudinal bars to form the chair frame, which is structurally stable.

[0018] Preferably, the front part of the longitudinal bar is bent downward to form a bent section, and the front crossbar is bent downward to form an arc-shaped structure.

[0019] The bend at the front of the longitudinal bar and the downward bend of the front crossbar are arc-shaped, making it more comfortable for users to sit on the seat.

[0020] Preferably, a hinged seat is provided on the chair frame, and the rear leg is hinged to the hinged seat.

[0021] The chair frame is hinged to the rear leg rod via a hinged joint, making the connection convenient and reliable.

[0022] Preferably, reinforcing crossbars are connected between the two front leg bars and between the two rear leg bars.

[0023] Strengthening the crossbars can improve the overall structural strength of the folding chair.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) The three-fold storage chair can be folded into three folds, which reduces the space occupied by the folding chair and makes it easy to carry and store; (2) After the folding chair is fully unfolded, the slot on the limiting seat is engaged with the limiting piece to achieve positioning of the entire folding chair and ensure the stable support of the folding chair; (3) The backrest and the front leg are hinged through the connecting piece, which makes assembly convenient and the connection reliable; (4) The bending part at the front of the longitudinal bar and the downward bend of the front cross bar are arc-shaped, making it more comfortable for the user to sit on the seat.
