Fig. 5a to Fig. 5c are photographs showing the folding camping chair 100 usable as an exemplary carrier cart according to the present invention.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 and 5a to 5c, a folding camping chair 100 usable as an exemplary carrier cart in accordance with the present invention may include a pole structure 110, a pair of wheels 120, a chair seat 130, and a handle portion 140.

[0016] In one example, the folding pole structure 110 can be contracted and expanded in a central contraction / expansion manner. A pair of wheels 120 are coupled to the rear lower end of the folding pole structure 110 and can rotate while in contact with the ground. Therefore, the folding chair 100 of the present invention can be used as a mobile carrier cart when camping. The chair seat 130 may be coupled from the rear upper end to the front upper end of the folding pole structure 110. The chair seat 130 is approximately L-shaped and can be used for people to sit on or store items. In one example, the chair seat 130 may include a mesh fabric that is highly breathable and foldable. The handle portion 140 may be coupled to the rear of the pole structure 110 and extend upward. Therefore, the handle portion 140 can be used as a handle when used as a carrier cart and as a headrest when used as a chair. In one example, the folding pole structure 110 and / or the handle portion 140 may mainly include an aluminum alloy or a titanium alloy that is highly strong and lightweight.

[0017] The configuration and operation of the exemplary folding camping chair 100 that can be used as a carrier cart according to the present invention will be described in more detail below. The foldable pole structure 110 may include a pair of first main poles 111 , a pair of second main poles 112 , and a pair of third main poles 113 .

[0018] The pair of first main poles 111 may extend in a generally streamlined shape from the rear upper end to the front lower end and may be spaced apart from each other. The front lower ends of the pair of first main poles 111 are supported on the ground, so that the chair 100 can be supported on the ground together with the wheels 120. In one example, the pair of first main poles 111 may move toward or away from each other in a centrally contracting / expanding manner.

[0019] The pair of second main poles 112 may extend from the pair of wheels 120 to their respective front upper ends and may be rotatably cross-connected to the pair of first main poles 111 in a substantially X-shape while being spaced apart from each other. Here, the connecting member may include a pin or a bolt. The height of the upper end of the second main pole 112 may be lower than the height of the upper end of the first main pole 111. Thus, the chair seat 130 may be connected to the rear upper end of the first main pole 111 and the front upper end of the second main pole 112 in a substantially L-shape. The first main pole 111 and the second main pole 112 may move toward or away from each other in a central contraction / expansion manner.

[0020] The pair of third main poles 113 may be connected to the lower ends of the pair of second main poles 112, cross-connected in an approximately X-shape, and extend upward, and connected to the pair of first main poles 111. The pair of third main poles 113 may be moved toward or away from each other in a central contraction / expansion manner. In one example, the third main pole 113 may be rotatably connected to the lower end connection region with the second main pole 112, the region of the third main pole 113 cross-connected in an X-shape, and the upper end connection region with the first main pole 111. Here, a connection member such as a pin or a bolt may be connected to each connection region. Therefore, the connection region between the first main pole 111 and the second main pole 112 and the connection region between the first main pole 111 and the third main pole 113 may be moved toward or away from each other in a contraction / expansion manner.

[0021] In this manner, the chair seat 130 may be connected to the upper ends of the pair of first main poles 111 and the front upper ends of the pair of second main poles 112. Also, the handle portion 140 may be connected to the X-shaped cross-connected region of the pair of third main poles 113 and extend upward.

[0022] In one example, the foldable pole structure 110 may further include a pair of first sub-poles 114, a pair of second sub-poles 115, and a pair of third sub-poles 116.

[0023] The pair of first sub poles 114 may be rotatably coupled to lower ends of the pair of first main poles 111 and upper ends of the pair of second main poles 112 in a vertical direction. The pair of first sub poles 114 may move toward or away from each other in a central contraction / expansion manner. Here, the coupling member may include a pin or a bolt.

[0024] The pair of second subpoles 115 may be cross-connected in an X-shape and extend downward while being connected to the upper regions of the pair of first subpoles 114. In one example, the second subpole 115 may be rotatably connected between the connection region with the first subpole 114 and the X-shaped cross-connection region of the second subpole 115. Here, the connection member of the connection region may include a pin or a bolt. The pair of second subpoles 115 may move toward or away from each other in a contracting / expanding manner.

[0025] The pair of third sub poles 116 may be rotatably connected to upper regions of the pair of second sub poles 115, and extend downward to be rotatably connected to lower ends of the pair of first main poles 111. In one example, the pair of third sub poles 116 may be rotatably connected to lower ends of the opposing second sub poles 115, respectively. Here, the connecting member may include a pin or a bolt. The pair of third sub poles 116 may move toward or away from each other in a contracting / expanding manner.

[0026] In one example, the foldable pole structure 110 may further include a pair of fourth sub-poles 117. The pair of fourth sub-poles 117 may extend horizontally from upper ends of the pair of third main poles 113 and be coupled to the handle portion 140. In one example, the fourth sub-pole 117 may be rotatably coupled to the third main pole 113 at a coupling region and the handle portion 140 at a coupling region. Here, the coupling member may include a pin or a bolt.

[0027] In one example, the handle part 140 may include a vertical pole 141 and a handle 142. The vertical pole 141 may extend from the X-shaped intersection region of the third main pole 113 and extend upward through a pair of fourth sub poles 117. In one example, a pin or bolt 1131 may be connected to the X-shaped intersection region of the third sub pole 116, and a plastic structure 1411 surrounding the vertical pole 141 may be connected to the bolt 1131, so that the vertical pole 141 may finally be connected to the X-shaped intersection region of the third sub pole 116. Also, a spring 1412 may be provided inside the plastic structure 1411, and a button 1413 for pressing the spring 1412 may be connected to the rear of the plastic structure 1411. That is, the spring 1412 may be connected to the inside of the vertical pole 141 in a pressed state, and an end of the spring 1412 may pass through the plastic structure 1411 and be connected to the button 1413. In this state, the vertical pole 141 is firmly connected to the plastic structure 1411 by the pressure of the spring 1412, and can maintain a state in which it does not move vertically (up and down) around the plastic structure 1411. Therefore, a user can push the chair as a carrier cart using the handle 142 connected onto the vertical pole 141.

[0028] Meanwhile, when folding the chair, the user first presses the button 1413 and pushes the vertical pole 141 and the handle 142 downward. That is, when the button 1413 is pressed, the end of the spring 1412 is separated from the plastic structure 1411, and then when the vertical pole 141 and the handle 142 are pushed downward, the vertical pole 141 moves downward around the plastic structure 1411. Furthermore, at this time, when the user grasps the opposing first main pole 111 with his arm and pushes it toward the center, the connection area of ​​the fourth sub pole 117 connected to the vertical pole 141 (i.e., the connection area between the vertical pole and the fourth sub pole) moves downward together, and the X-shaped third main pole 113 can be folded. Furthermore, pins and bolts are loosely connected to all the above-mentioned intersection areas and rotatable connection areas, so that the intersection areas and connection areas can be rotated, and as a result, the chair can be folded as shown in FIG. 4.

[0029] The handle 142 may be coupled to the upper end of the vertical pole 141, which may be provided in a generally square ring shape and configured for easy holding by a user.

[0030] In this way, the present invention can provide a folding camping chair 100 that can be used as a chair and carrier cart at a campsite, reducing the number of camping equipment and minimizing storage space. In addition, the present invention can provide a folding camping chair 100 that can be used as a carrier cart and has a much smaller volume when folded than conventional chairs by adopting a center-retractable folding (X-shaped folding) structure.

[0031] 6a and 6b are photographs showing a state where a pillow 151 and a mesh cover 152 are attached to a folding camping chair 100 usable as an exemplary carrier cart according to the present invention. As shown in Figs. 5a and 5b, the folding camping chair 100 usable as an exemplary carrier cart according to the present invention may further include a pillow 151 coupled to the upper end of the handle part 140 and a mesh cover 152 covering the chair seat 130. In this way, the present invention can provide a folding camping chair 100 usable as a carrier cart, which has the function of a pillow 151 that can be used to lean the head when sitting by covering the handle part 142 when carrying, and has a hook for fixing to prevent the loaded baggage from falling during transportation by attaching the mesh cover 152.
