AI Technical Summary
Folding sofas with large dimensions pose challenges in storage and packaging due to their increased area, making them difficult to pack and requiring more space.
A folding sofa with a single-layer iron tube structure, comprising multiple foldable parts, including a seat frame and backrest frame connected by a rotation locking member, with removable support legs and elastic elements, allowing for disassembly into smaller components that can be stacked and packed efficiently.
The solution reduces the overall space required for storage and packaging by enabling the sofa to be dismantled into smaller parts, enhancing structural strength and comfort through iron/steel tubes and elastic elements, while maintaining functionality as both a sofa and a bed.
