[0024] As shown in Figures 1-5, the present invention provides a swingable support 100 for furniture. The support 100 includes a base 1 and a plurality of support members 2 movably connected to the base 1. The base 1 includes an upper base 11 and a lower base 12. The support members 2 include three or more lower support members 22 connected to the lower base 12 and three or more upper support members 21 connected to the upper base 11. The base 1 also includes a deflection mechanism 13 disposed between the upper and lower bases 11, 12. The deflection mechanism 13 includes a first portion 131 connected to the lower base 12 and a second portion 132 connected to the upper base 11 and pivotable relative to the first portion 131. A receiving space 130 is formed within the deflection mechanism 13. In this embodiment, the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 together enclose the receiving space 130. The deflection mechanism 13 also includes an elastic member 133 disposed within the receiving space 130 to provide resistance when the second portion 132 deflects relative to the first portion 131.

[0025] Specifically, the deflection mechanism 13 has a rotation axis 1300, and the first part 131 includes a horizontal first rear wall 1311, a first front wall 1312 arranged opposite to the first rear wall 1311, a first inner wall 1313 close to the rotation axis 1300, and a first outer wall 1314 arranged opposite to the first inner wall 1313. The first rear wall 1311, the first front wall 1312, the first inner wall 1313 and the first outer wall 1314 form a fan-shaped first receiving cavity 1310.

[0026] The second part 132 includes a second inner wall 1323 close to the rotating shaft 1300, a second outer wall 1324 arranged opposite to the second inner wall 1323, a second front wall 1322 and a second rear wall 1321 respectively connecting the second inner wall 1323 and the second outer wall 1324, and the second rear wall 1321, the second front wall 1322, the second inner wall 1323 and the second outer wall 1324 form a fan-shaped second receiving cavity 1320.

[0027] The elastic member 133 includes a front end 1332 disposed on the first front wall 1312 or the second front wall 1322, and a rear end 1331 disposed on the first rear wall 1311 or the second rear wall 1321. Specifically, as shown in FIG3 , when the swingable bracket 100 is in an unloaded state, the front end 1332 of the elastic member 133 abuts against both the first front wall 1312 and the second front wall 1322, while the rear end 1331 of the elastic member 133 abuts against both the first rear wall 1311 and the second rear wall 1321. As shown in Figure 4, when the swingable bracket 100 is in the forward swing state, the first part 131 remains stationary, and the second rear wall 1321 of the second part 132 moves toward the first front wall 1312 of the first part 131, so that the second front wall 1322 of the second part 132 is staggered with the first front wall 1312 of the first part 131, and the second rear wall 1321 of the second part 132 is staggered with the first rear wall 1311 of the first part 131. At this time, the front end 1332 of the elastic member 133 abuts against the first front wall 1312, and the rear end 1331 of the elastic member 133 abuts against the second rear wall 1321. The elastic member 133 is compressed to provide resistance to the deflection of the second part 132 relative to the first part 131. As shown in Figure 5, when the swingable bracket 100 is in the rear-swing state, the first part 131 remains stationary, and the front wall 1322 of the second part 132 moves toward the first rear wall 1311 of the first part 131. At this time, the front end 1332 of the elastic member 133 abuts against the second front wall 1322, and the rear end 1331 of the elastic member 133 abuts against the first rear wall 1311. The elastic member 133 is compressed to provide resistance to the deflection of the second part 132 relative to the first part 131.

[0028] In this embodiment, the elastic member 133 is a spring, and the first receiving cavity 1310 and the second receiving cavity 1320 together constitute a receiving space 1300. The width of the receiving space 1300 is consistent with the diameter of the spring 133, so that when the second part 132 deflects relative to the first part 131, the spring 133 will not be offset. Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0029] In other embodiments, the deflection mechanism may further include a third part disposed between the first part and the second part and forming a receiving space together with the first part and the second part, thereby avoiding the problem of the spring getting stuck when the first part and the second part move.

[0030] Preferably, the first portion 131 includes a limiting groove 1315 defined below the second rear wall 1321. When the swingable bracket 100 is in the rearward swing state, the second rear wall 1321 of the second portion 132 enters the limiting groove 1315. Furthermore, the first portion 131 includes a limiting portion 1316 disposed on a side of the rotation axis 1300 facing away from the limiting groove 1315 and protruding toward the upper base 11. When the swingable bracket 100 is in the forward swing state, the limiting portion 1316 is used to limit the rotation angle of the second portion 132 to prevent the swingable bracket 100 from tipping over.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upper base 11 has an opening 110 facing the lower base 12, and the second part 132 is at least partially accommodated in the opening 110, driving the upper base 11 to deflect relative to the first part 131, so that the lower base 12 remains stationary and the upper base 11 swings relative to the lower base 12.

[0032] The present invention provides a swingable furniture stand comprising a base and a plurality of support members movably connected to the base. The base comprises an upper base and a lower base. The support members comprise three or more lower support members connected to the lower base and three or more upper support members connected to the upper base. The base further comprises a deflection mechanism disposed between the upper and lower bases. The deflection mechanism comprises a first portion connected to the lower base and a second portion connected to the upper base and pivotable relative to the first portion. A receiving space is formed within the deflection mechanism. The deflection mechanism further comprises an elastic member disposed within the receiving space for providing resistance when the second portion deflects relative to the first portion. By utilizing the deflection mechanism comprising a first portion and a second portion pivotable relative to the first portion, the swingable furniture stand provided by the present invention can swing stably, thereby enhancing the comfort and enjoyment of portable furniture using the stand.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
