Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, specifically a multi-point suspended hanging basket. Background Technology

[0002] A hanging basket, also known as a hanging chair, is a common type of leisure furniture for people to sit on. By suspending the seat from a frame, a hanging basket provides a unique, swing-like feeling of suspension and a slight swaying experience, which is very popular with consumers and is widely used in places such as home balconies, courtyards, hotels, and leisure clubs.

[0003] Currently, most hanging basket products on the market typically consist of a C-shaped or A-shaped support frame, with the seat suspended from a single point on the cantilever end of the frame via a chain or rope. While this single-point suspension structure achieves the seat's suspension function, its inherent technical shortcomings have gradually become apparent over long-term use, mainly in the following aspects:

[0004] 1. The single-point suspension structure means that there is only one connection pivot point between the seat and the frame. When a user sits in or gets out of the basket, or when subjected to slight external forces (such as a breeze or minor body movements), the seat will rotate uncontrollably around this single suspension point. This unpredictable rotation not only severely compromises the comfort and relaxation of the ride, but in some cases may even cause dizziness, greatly reducing the user experience.

[0005] 2. Due to its single-point suspension, the entire seat is essentially a large pendulum. It has a very high degree of freedom of movement in the forward / backward and left / right directions, easily resulting in significant swaying. This excessive swaying can make occupants, especially the elderly and children, feel unsafe. Furthermore, in confined spaces (such as indoors or on a balcony), excessive swaying also increases the risk of the seat colliding with surrounding walls or other objects.

[0006] 3. A single-point suspension structure concentrates the entire weight of the seat and occupant on a single point of the suspension frame, a single point of the rigging, and a single point of the seat. This high concentration of stress places extremely high demands on the material strength and fatigue resistance of the suspension point and connecting components. If this critical point fails due to material aging, fatigue fracture, or manufacturing defects, it will directly lead to the entire seat falling, posing a serious safety hazard.

[0007] 4. When the occupant shifts position within the seat and fails to maintain their center of gravity directly below the suspension point, the seat will immediately tilt noticeably. The occupant needs to actively adjust their posture to find balance, which contradicts the "casual and relaxed" design philosophy of the hanging basket product. Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a multi-point suspended basket that is more stable in structure, safer to use, and more comfortable to use.

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is achieved by the following means: a multi-point suspended basket, which includes a base, a bracket extending upward from the base, a suspension frame provided at the top of the bracket, a plurality of suspension points provided on the suspension frame, and rigging installed on the suspension points;

[0010] It also includes a seat, which is provided with multiple anchor points. The lower part of the rigging is connected to the anchor points, and the multiple anchor points of the seat are connected to multiple suspension points on the suspension frame through the rigging.

[0011] Furthermore: the base is U-shaped with an open front end, and a horizontal beam is arranged inside the base. The two ends of the beam are connected to the waist of the base. The bottom of the support is connected to the middle of the beam. Several columns are also arranged at the rear of the base and connected to the support.

[0012] Furthermore, the suspension frame includes a first crossbar and a second crossbar that are arranged in parallel front and back and fixed on the support, with suspension points provided at the left and right ends of the first crossbar and the second crossbar.

[0013] Furthermore, the suspension frame includes a first crossbar and a second crossbar that are arranged in a cross shape and fixed on the support, and the left and right ends of the first crossbar and the second crossbar are provided with suspension points.

[0014] Furthermore: the suspension frame is a circular frame, with any one outer circular point of the suspension frame fixed to the support, and the suspension points are distributed in a ring on the suspension frame.

[0015] Furthermore: the suspension frame is a rectangular frame, with the midpoint of any side of the suspension frame connected to the support, and the suspension points set on two opposite sides of the rectangular frame.

[0016] The suspension frame is a "C" shaped frame, with the highest point of the suspension frame connected to the support, and the suspension points set at both ends of the "C" shaped frame.

[0017] Furthermore: the anchor point is located on the edge of the seat.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Simple structure, low production cost, and improved market competitiveness.

[0019] 2. This utility model establishes a spatial, three-dimensional, polygonal constraint structure by setting multiple suspension points on the suspension frame and multiple anchor points on the seat, and then connecting these points one by one with rigging. This structure fundamentally eliminates the single rotation pivot, and any force attempting to rotate the seat is quickly counteracted by the tension formed by multiple spatially separated rigging. Therefore, even when the user is sitting or getting up, the seat maintains a high degree of directional stability, preventing annoying rotation and greatly improving riding comfort.

[0020] 3. The multi-point suspension structure of this invention limits the swaying of the seat to a gentle and controllable range. When the seat is subjected to external force, its swaying is restrained and buffered by multiple cables from different directions, and its movement trajectory is more like a smooth platform swing rather than a free large-arc swing. This smooth micro-swaying retains the recreational fun of the hanging basket while effectively avoiding the panic caused by excessive swaying and the risk of collision with surrounding objects, providing users, especially the elderly and children, with a greater sense of security.

[0021] 4. This utility model distributes the load evenly across multiple suspension points of the suspension frame and multiple anchor points of the seat using multiple rigging systems. This design ensures that the actual stress at each load-bearing point is far lower than the total load, effectively avoiding stress concentration. This not only significantly reduces the risk of overall collapse due to single-point failure, but also means that lightweight design of local components can be implemented while maintaining the same safety factor. Simultaneously, the overall durability and fatigue life of the machine are significantly enhanced.

[0022] 5. By setting anchor points along the edges of the seat, this invention provides suspension support from all sides, creating a stable "hammock" or "cradle" effect. Even if the user's posture shifts or the center of gravity is not strictly centered, the seat itself maintains good balance and will not tilt significantly. This allows users to enjoy the hammock in a more relaxed and comfortable posture without constantly adjusting their body to maintain balance, truly achieving the purpose of relaxation and leisure.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A multi-point suspended basket includes a base 1, a support 2 extending upward from the base 1, a suspension frame 3 at the top of the support 2, a plurality of suspension points 4 on the suspension frame 3, and rigging 5 installed on the suspension points 4; it also includes a seat 6, a plurality of anchor points 7 on the seat 6, the lower part of the rigging 5 being connected to the anchor points 7, and the plurality of anchor points 7 of the seat 6 being connected to the plurality of suspension points 4 on the suspension frame 3 via the rigging 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, the aim is to construct a "multi-point to multi-point" spatially constrained suspension system to replace the unstable "single-point to single-point" pivot suspension of existing technologies. When a user sits in the seat 6, their weight is transferred through the seat 6 to multiple anchor points 7, and then pulled upwards by multiple cables, ultimately transferring the force to multiple suspension points 4 on the suspension frame 3, and then to the ground via the bracket 2 and base 1. Since the suspension points 4 and anchor points 7 are spatially separated, the multiple cables form a stable geometric configuration with inherent constraints in three-dimensional space. This spatial geometric configuration fundamentally restricts the free rotation of the seat 6 around its vertical central axis from a physical perspective, and provides effective, multi-directional constraints and damping for any swaying of the seat.

[0030] Unlike the single-point pivot of existing technologies, the multi-point connection of this invention forms a constraint force system that can effectively resist and counteract the torque that causes the seat to rotate, thereby providing excellent orientation stability and avoiding the problem of uncontrolled rotation when the user is sitting.

[0031] At the same time, the total load of the seat and the passenger is distributed to multiple suspension points and anchor points through multiple rigging, which effectively avoids the risk of stress concentration at one point and greatly reduces the possibility of the whole body falling due to fatigue or breakage at a single point.

[0032] In addition, the multi-point restraints limit the swaying of the seat to a gentle and controllable range, preserving the leisure and enjoyment while avoiding the insecurity caused by large swings.

[0033] In one embodiment, the base 1 is U-shaped with an open front end. A horizontal beam 8 is arranged inside the base 1, and the two ends of the beam 8 are connected to the waist of the base 1. The bottom of the support 2 is connected to the middle of the beam 8. Several columns 9 are also arranged at the rear of the base 1 and connected to the support 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, the "U"-shaped base, with its unobstructed front end design, provides users with a convenient and safe passage to enter and exit, avoiding the risk of tripping over the base structure.

[0035] In addition, the crossbeam 8 connects the two arms of the "U"-shaped base, forming a closed load-bearing frame. It effectively prevents the base from expanding outward or contracting inward due to force, significantly enhancing the overall rigidity of the base and providing a sturdy, centrally located mounting base for the bracket 2.

[0036] In addition, the upright column 9 connects from the rear of the base 1 to the upper middle part of the support 2, forming one or more large-sized, stable triangular support structures together with the ground, base, and support. The core function of this structure is to use the stability of a triangle to counteract the huge overturning moment generated by the suspended weight, preventing the entire basket from tilting backward. Therefore, the combined application of the crossbeam 8 and the upright column 9 in this case gives the entire support system extremely high structural rigidity and anti-overturning capacity, ensuring a high degree of safety during product use.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment: the suspension frame 3 includes a first crossbar 31 and a second crossbar 32 that are distributed in parallel front and back and fixed on the bracket 2, and the left and right ends of the first crossbar 31 and the second crossbar 32 are provided with suspension points 4.

[0038] In this embodiment, a rectangular suspension base is constructed at the top of the support 2 using two parallel horizontal bars. Four suspension points 4 are positioned at the four vertices of this rectangle, maximizing the distance between the suspension points in the front-back and left-right directions, thus providing a wide and stable upper support platform for the rigging 5. This structure has a very strong restraining effect against swaying from the basket in the front-back or left-right directions. At the same time, the structure is simple and easy to manufacture: the parallel double-bar structure is relatively simple, easy to process and install, which helps reduce production costs.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment: the suspension frame 3 includes a first crossbar 31 and a second crossbar 32 that are arranged in a cross shape and fixed on the bracket 2, and the left and right ends of the first crossbar 31 and the second crossbar 32 are provided with suspension points 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, two crossbars arranged in a cross shape enable the four suspension points 4 to be symmetrically distributed in an "X" shape around the center point of the bracket 2. This layout ensures that the distance and direction from the suspension center to each suspension point are balanced. Due to its symmetry, the structure provides balanced resistance to disturbances from any horizontal direction, with no obvious weak direction in stability. The balanced layout effectively suppresses the rotational tendency of the seat 6.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment: the suspension frame 3 is a circular frame, any one outer circular point of the suspension frame 3 is fixed on the bracket 2, and the suspension points 4 are distributed in a ring on the suspension frame 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, a circular frame is used as the suspension frame, with multiple suspension points 4 distributed in a ring around the circumference. Multiple rigging points converge from the upper circle downwards to connect to the seat, forming a near-conical suspension space structure. The circular structure naturally possesses excellent stress distribution characteristics, providing a smoother, more gentle swaying experience and unique comfort. Furthermore, the circular frame's shape has a strong modern design aesthetic, and the number and specific positions of the suspension points can be flexibly and equidistantly set along the circumference.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment: the suspension frame 3 is a rectangular frame, the midpoint of any side of the suspension frame 3 is connected to the support 2, and the suspension point 4 is set on two opposite sides of the rectangular frame.

[0044] In this embodiment, a closed rectangular frame is used as the suspension bracket, which is itself a complete rigid structure. The suspension points 4 are located on two opposite sides. Compared to two independent rods, the complete rectangular frame structure is more stable and has stronger resistance to deformation. Similar to the parallel double-bar scheme, it provides excellent directional sway suppression.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment: the suspension frame 3 is a "C" shaped frame, the highest point of the suspension frame 3 is connected to the bracket 2, and the suspension points 4 are set at both ends of the "C" shaped frame.

[0046] In this embodiment, an open "C"-shaped frame is used as the suspension bracket, with bracket 2 connected to the highest point of the "C" arc. Suspension points 4 are respectively located at the two open ends of the "C"-shaped frame. Thus, the seat is suspended by two spatially separated suspension points, forming a two-point suspension system. The line connecting these two suspension points constitutes a baseline that resists torsion and sway. Simultaneously, the two-point suspension is very effective in suppressing sway along the direction of the line connecting the two suspension points.

[0047] In addition, the design is classic and aesthetically pleasing: the "C" shape is a classic element in hanging chair design, and using this shape for the suspension frame has a unique design aesthetic and market appeal. Compared to a closed frame, the C-shaped frame has a more open and simple structure.

[0048] In one embodiment, the anchor point 7 is located on the edge 61 of the seat 6.

[0049] The seat's edge 61 is the outermost contour of its structure. The anchor points 7 are placed here, and the core working principle is to maximize the physical span between each anchor point 7. This is equivalent to constructing a "base" of the largest possible size for maintaining stability on one side of the suspended object.

[0050] When the occupant's center of gravity shifts within the seat, the anchor points 7, located around the perimeter of the seat, quickly straighten the rigging that is far from the center of gravity and generate a strong restoring torque. This effectively resists the seat from tilting or tipping over, greatly improving the stability of the occupant's posture.

[0051] At the same time, users can adjust their posture more freely in the seat, or even lie down, without worrying about easily losing their balance, thus gaining a more relaxed and comfortable riding experience.

[0052] In summary, in this case, a suspension frame with a specific geometric layout is installed at the top of the support system, and this suspension frame has multiple spatially separated suspension points. Then, at the outermost edge of the seat, multiple spatially separated anchor points are correspondingly set to maximize the stability of the seat's base.

[0053] Finally, multiple rigging points on the suspension frame are spatially connected to multiple anchor points on the seat in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0054] This series of designs fundamentally abandons the unstable "single-point pivot" suspension mode of traditional suspended platforms, constructing a completely new and stable spatial multi-point geometric constraint suspension system. This system utilizes the constraint forces of spatial geometry to effectively distribute the load, completely suppress rotational tendencies, and control the sway amplitude within a stable range. Simultaneously, by optimizing the base and anchor point layout, it further enhances anti-overturning capabilities, ultimately comprehensively improving the stability, safety, comfort, and durability of the suspended platform, successfully solving the fundamental defects of existing technologies.

[0055] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
