[0025] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides a more detailed account of the folding chair of this utility model that is easy to store.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0027] See Figures 1-5 This embodiment of a folding chair allows for easy storage, reducing its space-consuming nature when not in use and facilitating storage. Furthermore, its overall structure does not employ the traditional cross-folding method, resulting in strong structural stability and load-bearing capacity when unfolded, making it suitable even for heavier individuals. The folding and unfolding operation is also convenient, making it ideal for outdoor use. In this embodiment, it primarily comprises two horizontally arranged, oppositely positioned support plates 1, with their opposite ends interlocked. Both support plates 1 have a grid structure at their opposite ends and are horizontally staggered, allowing them to slide horizontally relative to each other. The cross-sliding support plates 1 enable the folding and unfolding of the chair's support surface, facilitating both use and storage.
[0028] A crossbeam 2 is horizontally slidably mounted at the midpoint of the bottom ends of the two support plates 1. A bracket 6 is horizontally fixed at the bottom end of each support plate 1. Both brackets 6 are C-shaped with their open ends facing the crossbeam 2. Each bracket 6 horizontally penetrates the crossbeam 2, and a limiting block 7 is fixed at its end to limit its extreme position. The openings of the two brackets 6 are staggered. When the chair is unfolded, the brackets 6 support the crossbeam 2 within it, thereby supporting the midpoint of the two support plates 1 through the crossbeam 2, ensuring the support capacity of the chair's midpoint.
[0029] To achieve the folding and unfolding of the chair, in this embodiment, see... Figures 1-5 A support assembly 3 is hinged to the bottom of the opposite side of the support plate 1. The support assembly 3 includes a hinge block 31 hinged to the middle of the bottom of the opposite side of the support plate 1. A horizontal bar 32 is fixedly fixed to the bottom of the hinge block 31 along the width direction of the support plate 1, with the hinge block 31 located in the middle of the horizontal bar 32. Support rods 33 are fixedly installed at the top of both sides of the horizontal bar 32, with the top of the support rods 33 abutting against the bottom of the support plate 1. When the chair is unfolded, the support rods 33 support the four corners of the chair. The top of the support rod 33 facing the direction of the crossbeam 2 has an arc structure. The arc structure facilitates the folding of the support rod 33. A detachable vertical beam 4 is provided between the two support assemblies 3. A slot 8 is horizontally provided through the middle of the hinge block 31 along the length of the support plate 1. Two slots 8 are arranged opposite each other, and both ends of the vertical beam 4 are inserted into the corresponding slots 8. The top end of the vertical beam 4 can abut against the bottom end of the crossbeam 2. When the chair is unfolded, the vertical beam 4 is inserted into the slot 8 to support the crossbeam 2, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the chair, enhancing the chair's load-bearing capacity, and making the chair suitable for heavier people.
[0030] The top of the vertical beam 4 has a groove 9 along its length, and the bottom end of the crossbeam 2 is fixedly provided with a slider 10 that can slide within the groove 9. When folding, the vertical beam 4 is removed from the slot 8, and then the vertical beam 4 is installed at the slider 10 through the groove 9, thereby facilitating the carrying of the vertical beam 4.
[0031] For easy folding of the chair. See details. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 5The lower part of the support assembly 3 is provided with a leg assembly 5 supporting the bearing plate 1. The leg assembly 5 includes a horizontally opening movable groove 51 on both sides of the crossbar 32 along its length direction. Two support columns 52 are vertically arranged at the bottom end of the crossbar 32. The top end of the support columns 52 abuts against the bottom end of the crossbar 32. Movable blocks 53 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the support columns 52 and can slide within the corresponding movable groove 51. A placement groove 54 is horizontally opened at the bottom end of the crossbar 32 along its length direction. The placement groove 54 is also arranged on the upper part of the opposite side of the support columns 52. A stabilizing rod 55 is horizontally arranged at the opposite end of the support columns 52. Both ends of the stabilizing rod 55 are arranged in the placement groove 54 of the corresponding support column 52. The stabilizing rod 55 can move into the placement groove 54 of the crossbar 32. When the chair is unfolded, the support columns 52 are moved to both ends of the crossbar 32 by moving the movable blocks 53 within the movable groove 51. The stabilizer bar 55 is moved downward from the placement slot 54 of the crossbar 32 to the placement slot 54 of the support column 52, thereby positioning the support column 52 by means of the stabilizer bar 55. When folding, the stabilizer bar 55 is moved into the placement slot 54 of the crossbar 32. At this time, the position of the support column 52 on the crossbar 32 is moved, so that the support columns 52 are staggered.
[0032] The method of using this folding chair for easy storage is as follows: First, the supporting surface of the chair is folded and unfolded by the cross-sliding support plates 1, making it easy to use and store. When the chair is unfolded, the insert bracket 6 supports the crossbeam 2 within the crossbeam 2, thereby supporting the middle position of the two support plates 1 through the crossbeam 2, ensuring the support capacity of the middle position of the chair. The four corners of the chair are supported by the support rods 33. The vertical beam 4 is inserted into the slot 8 to support the crossbeam 2, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the chair, enhancing the weight-bearing capacity of the chair, and making the chair suitable for heavier people. The support column 52 is moved to both ends of the crossbeam 32 by the moving block 53 moving within the moving slot 51. The stabilizing rod 55 is moved downward from inside the placement slot 54 of the crossbeam 32 to inside the placement slot 54 of the support column 52, thereby positioning the support column 52 through the stabilizing rod 55.
[0033] During folding, the vertical beam 4 is removed from the slot 8, and then installed at the slider 10 via the slide groove 9, facilitating its transport. The stabilizer bar 55 is moved into the placement slot 54 of the crossbar 32. At this time, the position of the support column 52 on the crossbar 32 is moved so that the support columns 52 are staggered. The bearing plate 1 is then moved towards the center position to achieve folding.
