[0019] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the folding chair 100 provided in the present invention has a lower component. The seat component 10, the middle component 20, the upper component 30 and the seat fabric 40 are Here, the lower component 10 includes a lower block 11 and a pin and three or more legs 12 connected to the upper block. The upper block 31 includes three or more arms 32 pivotally connected to the upper block 31. In this embodiment, the number of arms 32 and legs 12 is four. The number may be the same or different, and the folding chair is supported stably on a flat surface, for example. It will be appreciated that the number may be three, five, or more, as long as it can be accommodated.

[0020] The middle component 20 connects the upper component 30 and the lower component 10. Specifically, the central component 20 is made up of an upper block 31 and a lower block 11. The bearing member 21 is provided between the upper block 31 and the lower block 11. and a central shaft 22 extending therethrough.

[0021] The seat fabric 40 has the same number of ends as the number of arms 32. In this embodiment, the seat fabric 40 has four The arm 32 has two ends 41, which are provided at one end of the arm 32 away from the upper block 31. Specifically, the seat fabric 40 is in contact with the user when the user sits on the folding chair 100. The arm cover 410 is provided on the back surface of the end portion 41. The end of the arm 32 that is separated from the upper block 31 is accommodated in the arm cover 410. The seat fabric is equipped with highly breathable mesh to improve the user experience. It is possible.

[0022] The arms 32 are extendable and retractable. In this embodiment, the arms 32 are two front arms 321 and two rear arms 322. The upper part includes the arms 322, and the maximum length of the front arms 321 is less than the maximum length of the rear arms 322. The lock 31 is provided with a stopper for restricting the rotation angle of the arm 32. 1 and a rear stopper 312, and a forearm 321 rotatable by the front stopper 311. The angle is smaller than the rotatable angle of the rear arm 322 restricted by the rear stopper portion 312.

[0023] The seat fabric 40 is in a slack state when the arms 32 are retracted, and in a relaxed state when the arms 32 are extended. Specifically, the seat fabric 40 is provided in a taut state when the seat fabric 40 is in a patch The seat fabric 40 is made of a work cloth, and when the seat fabric 40 is in a taut state, This means that the edge of the folding chair 100 is taut. In this case, the two rear arms 322 are extended to the maximum extent, and the two front arms 321 are also extended to the maximum extent. The seat fabric 40 is taut, and the four arms 32 are attached to the four ends 4 of the seat fabric 40, respectively. 1, the seat cannot be turned over, and the arm 32 is pulled by the taut seat fabric. The cooperation of the 40 allows the seat to be kept in a stable upward open position. When sitting on the seat 40, the center of gravity of the upper component 30 shifts forward or backward. The front stopper 311 and the rear stopper 312 are provided at angles at which the front arm 321 and the rear arm 322 rotate, respectively. This limits the angle at which the upper component 30 can tip forward or backward as a whole. When the folding chair 100 is to be stored, the four arms 32 are first shortened. At this time, the seat fabric 40 loosens and the arms 32 hang down naturally, so that The arms 32 can be turned over and stored together with the legs 12.

[0024] This allows the upper components to move forward and backward when the seat fabric becomes taut. It does not tip over, so the user can maintain balance while sitting. When you need to store the seat, first shorten the arms, and at this time the seat fabric loosens, so that the arms can be The chair can be folded upside down and the whole chair can be stored away. It is simple and convenient to operate, and requires only the cooperation of the upper component 30 and the seat fabric 40. The support member 10 may be configured to provide a stable surface for a user to sit on.

[0025] Preferably, the upper block 31 is provided with a downward boss 313 and the lower block 11 is provided with An upward boss 113 is provided, and the bearing member 21 has a downward boss 313 and an upward boss 113. and a ring-shaped portion 212 surrounding the connection portion 211. In addition, a plurality of steel balls 213 are provided within the annular portion 212. Therefore, the folding chair 100 also has the function of a swivel chair.

[0026] Preferably, the lower component 10 further includes a torsion spring 13 disposed inside the leg 12. In addition, the lower block 11 is provided with a stop portion 110 that restricts the rotation angle of the leg 12. The user can conveniently and quickly open the legs 12 and support the legs 12 when supporting the user's weight. It is possible to keep it stable.

[0027] The folding chair provided in this utility model has a lower block and a pivot joint to the lower block. A lower component that includes three or more legs connected to the upper block and a An upper component including three or more arms pivotally connected to the upper component and A middle component that connects the lower components and has the same number of ends as the arms, with the ends A seat fabric is provided at one end of the arm away from the upper block, and the upper block includes: The arm is provided with a stopper that restricts the rotation angle of the arm, and the arm is extendable and retractable. The seat fabric is When the arm is held down, it is in a relaxed state, and when the arm is extended, it is in a taut state. When the seat fabric is tensioned, the upper components can roll forward and backward. It does not tip over, so the user can maintain balance while sitting. If you need to do so, first shorten your arms, and at this time the seat fabric will loosen, so that your arms and legs can The chair can be flipped over in the opposite direction to store the entire chair away.

[0028] The above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions described in the above embodiments are still It is possible to amend the means or to make equivalent substitutions for some or all of its technical features. However, these amendments or replacements may not change the essence of the corresponding technical solutions of the present utility model.
