Description

Folding stool Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of stools, and in particular to a folding stool. Background Art

[0002] Although the stool with a fixed structure has good structural strength and a relatively simple structure, it takes up a large space because the legs have a certain angle with the seat and are always in an unfolded state. It is very inconvenient to package and transport it at the factory or to store it when not in use. For this reason, some stools currently adopt a folding structure, in which the legs are set to be foldable relative to the seat, thereby reducing the storage or packaging and transportation volume of the stool. However, due to the unreasonable folding structure of the existing folding stool or the limitation of the unfolded fixed structure, the folding stool in the folded state still occupies a large volume.

[0040] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0041] The following describes a folding stool according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to FIG1 to FIG9 .

[0042] As shown in Figures 1, 7, 8 and 9, the folding stool according to the embodiment of the present application includes: two stool seat assemblies 100 and two stool leg assemblies 200, one ends of the two stool seat assemblies 100 are hinged to each other; the two stool leg assemblies 200 are respectively hinged to the other ends of the two stool seat assemblies 100; the folding stool has an unfolded state and a folded state. When the folding stool is in the folded state, the stool leg assembly 200 rotates to be close to the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100, and the two stool seat assemblies 100 are close to each other and a accommodating space corresponding to the two stool leg assemblies 200 is formed between the bottom surfaces of the two stool seat assemblies 100.

[0043] As shown in Figure 9, the folding stool as a whole forms a four-section folding structure. The stool seat assembly 100 and the stool leg assembly 200 on one side are folded inward, and the stool seat assembly 100 and the stool leg assembly 200 on the other side are folded inward relatively, so that the folding stool as a whole is folded toward the middle, and the stool leg assembly 200 is rotated to be close to the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100. A accommodating space corresponding to the two stool leg assemblies 200 is formed between the bottom surfaces of the two stool seat assemblies 100, so that the four-section folding structure is reasonably folded in half, thereby reducing the volume when folded, and facilitating storage or packaging and transportation.

[0044] Specifically, when the folding stool is in the folded state, the leg assembly 200 rotates to be close to the bottom surface of the seat assembly 100 and is roughly parallel to the seat assembly 100. After the two seat assemblies 100 are folded in half, they are also in a roughly parallel state. The distance between the two is slightly greater than the thickness of the two leg assemblies 200, so that the leg assembly 200 can be compactly stored between the two seat assemblies 100. In the folded state, the two seat assemblies 100 and the two leg assemblies 200 are both roughly in a parallel folded state. The folding structure is compact, takes up little space, is easy to store and carry, and when transported out of the factory, more folding stool products can be loaded in the set container, reducing transportation costs.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the seat assembly 100 is connected to the leg assembly 200 through a first rotating joint 300; the first rotating joint 300 can make the leg assembly 200 or the extension line of the leg assembly 200 deviate from the rotation center of the first rotating joint 300. When the folding stool is in the folded state, the leg assembly 200 is entirely located below the bottom surface of the seat assembly 100, making the folding structure more compact.

[0046] Specifically, the rotation center of the first rotating joint 300 is located on the side of the stool leg assembly 200 or the extension line of the stool leg assembly 200 and has a set distance, which is greater than or equal to the distance from the rotation center of the first rotating joint 300 to the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100, so that the stool leg assembly 200 can be fully rotated to the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100, reducing the folded volume.

[0047] As shown in Figures 3, 7, and 8, in some embodiments of the present application, the first rotation joint 300 includes a seat joint 310 provided on the stool seat assembly 100 and a foot joint 320 provided on the stool leg assembly 200. The seat joint 310 and the foot joint 320 are rotatably connected via a first rotating shaft 330. The foot joint 320 includes a connecting portion 321 for connecting to the stool leg assembly 200. The connecting portion 321 is offset relative to the first rotating shaft 330 so that the stool leg assembly 200 or the extension line of the stool leg assembly 200 deviates from the first rotating shaft 330, so that the stool leg assembly 200 can be rotated to be close to the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100.

[0048] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present application, the rotation center of the first rotating joint 300 is lower than the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100, so that when the folding stool is in the folded state, the stool leg assembly 200 is entirely located below the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100.

[0049] Specifically, a downward extension structure or a downward extending joint can be set on the stool seat assembly 100 to move the rotation center down to below the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100. The distance from the rotation center to the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100 is set to be greater than or equal to the distance from the rotation center to the inner side surface of the stool leg assembly 200 (the opposite side to the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100), so that the stool leg assembly 200 can be rotated close to the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100 and can be parallel to the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100, thereby reducing the folded volume.

[0050] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in some embodiments of the present application, the foot joint 320 is provided with an abutment portion 322. When the folding stool is in the unfolded state, the abutment portion 322 abuts against the seat joint 310 or the stool seat assembly 100, thereby supporting the unfolded state of the stool leg assembly 200.

[0051] Specifically, the abutment portion 322 is arranged above the connecting portion 321. Since the connecting portion 321 is offset, an air avoidance structure can be set above it, which is convenient for setting the abutment portion 322 and setting a corresponding abutment structure on the seat joint 310, thereby forming a support structure when unfolded.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the main body of the stool seat assembly 100 and the stool leg assembly 200 are aluminum profiles, and the seat joint 310 and the leg joint 320 are iron parts to improve the strength of the rotating structure, and the abutment structure is set at the seat joint 310 and the leg joint 320 to improve the structural strength of the stool when unfolded and improve the load-bearing capacity.

[0053] Specifically, the stool seat assembly 100 is formed by splicing multiple long aluminum profiles, such as multiple long aluminum profiles spliced ​​with hard connectors such as iron products to form the seat surface of the stool seat assembly 100, which has the advantages of light weight, high structural strength, and easy production and processing.

[0054] Similarly, the stool leg assembly 200 is formed by assembling aluminum profiles through connectors such as screws and rivets. For example, two aluminum profiles are used to form the support legs 210, and a crossbeam 220 made of aluminum profiles connects the support legs 210 to form a ladder-like support structure with good structural strength and light weight.

[0055] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9, in some embodiments of the present application, the two stool seat assemblies 100 are connected by a second rotating joint 400. When the folding stool is in the unfolded state, there is a set distance between the rotation center of the second rotating joint 400 and the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100. When the folding stool is in the folded state, an accommodating space corresponding to the two stool leg assemblies 200 is formed between the bottom surfaces of the two stool seat assemblies 100 to accommodate the two stool leg assemblies 200.

[0056] Specifically, since the rotation center of the second rotation joint 400 is below the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100 , the two stool seat assemblies 100 can be folded in half to be parallel to each other and form a gap to accommodate the stool leg assembly 200 .

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the rotation center of the second rotation joint 400 and the bottom surface of the stool seat assembly 100 is greater than or equal to twice the thickness of the stool leg assembly 200 to form enough space to accommodate two stool leg assemblies 200.

[0058] Specifically, as shown in FIG9 , the folding stool as a whole forms a four-section folding structure. When folded, the two seat assemblies 100 and the two leg assemblies 200 form a roughly parallel four-section stacked structure. The folding structure formed is relatively regular, which is convenient for storage and packaging and transportation.

[0059] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, in some embodiments of the present application, the second rotating joint 400 includes a first joint 410 and a second joint 420 respectively connected to the two stool seat assemblies 100. The first joint 410 and the second joint 420 are respectively provided with a lower extension 440, and the two lower extensions 440 are rotatably connected through a second rotating shaft 430, thereby moving the rotation center downward.

[0060] Specifically, the first joint 410 and the second joint 420 are respectively provided with a lower extension 440 and are rotatably connected through the lower extension 440. When the two stool seat assemblies 100 are unfolded, the upper parts of the first joint 410 and the second joint 420 abut against each other, thereby forming a support structure when unfolded.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the first joint 410 and the second joint 420 are made of iron, and the stool seat assembly 100 is made of aluminum, which can reduce the weight of the stool and have higher structural strength.

[0062] As shown in FIG4 , in some embodiments of the present application, the second rotational joint 400 includes a first joint 410, a second joint 420, and a locking mechanism disposed between the first joint 410 and the second joint 420. The first joint 410 and the second joint 420 are respectively connected to the two stool seat assemblies 100. The locking mechanism includes an elastic bayonet mechanism 510, a bayonet hole 520, and a pressing member 530. The elastic bayonet mechanism 510 is provided with a bayonet 511 corresponding to the bayonet hole 520 through an elastic mechanism. The latch mechanism 510 is provided at the first joint 410, and the latch hole 520 is provided at the second joint 420. When the first joint 410 rotates to a set angle relative to the second joint 420, the latch 511 is locked into the latch hole 520 to lock the first joint 410 and the second joint 420. The pressing piece 530 is provided corresponding to the latch 511 or the latch hole 520. By pressing the pressing piece 530, the latch 511 can be pushed to move in the direction of disengaging from the latch hole 520 to unlock the first joint 410 and the second joint 420.

[0063] When the two stool seat assemblies 100 are unfolded, when the stool seat assemblies 100 are rotated relative to each other to a set angle, the pin 511 is elastically engaged with the pin hole 520, thereby positioning the two stool seat assemblies 100 in the unfolded state. When they need to be folded, the pressing piece 530 is pressed to push the pin 511 in the direction of disengaging from the pin hole 520, so that the two stool seat assemblies 100 can be unlocked and folded. The locking mechanism is simple and reasonable, and the control operation is convenient and quick.

[0064] As shown in Figure 4, in some embodiments of the present application, the first joint 410 and the second joint 420 are rotatably connected through the second rotating shaft 430, and the pressing member 530 is provided with a mounting hole 531 corresponding to the second rotating shaft 430. The second rotating shaft 430 passes through the mounting hole 531 to install the pressing member 530 to the second rotating shaft 430. There is no need to configure an additional mechanism to install the pressing member 530, thereby simplifying the assembly structure and installation process.

[0065] Specifically, the second rotating shaft 430 is a pin, which is fastened by configuring a nut or setting a threaded hole or a riveting structure at the first joint 410, and the installation of the pressing member 530 is completed at the same time.

[0066] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present application, the pressing member 530 may also be mounted to the second joint 420 by screws or the like.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, a positioning mechanism is provided between the pressing member 530 and the second joint 420 so that the pressing member 530 can rotate relative to the first joint 410 along with the second joint 420, thereby preventing the pressing member 530 from moving away from the pin hole 520 and improving the reliability of the locking mechanism.

[0068] As shown in Figures 3 to 6, in some embodiments of the present application, one end of the pressing member 530 is a pressing portion 532 corresponding to the pin hole 520, and the other end is an extension portion 533. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning protrusion 534 and a positioning hole 421. The positioning protrusion 534 is arranged on the extension portion 533, and the positioning hole 421 is arranged on the second joint 420, thereby realizing the positioning of the pressing member 530.

[0069] It is conceivable that, in some embodiments of the present application, the positioning protrusion 534 may be provided on the second joint 420 , and the positioning hole 421 may be provided on the extension portion 533 , so as to achieve positioning of the pressing member 530 .

[0070] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present application, the positioning mechanism may also be a screw, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , in some embodiments of the present application, a pressing portion 532 is provided at one end of the pressing member 530 , and the pressing portion 532 is provided with a pushing head 535 that can be inserted into the bayonet hole 520 to push the bayonet 511 out of the bayonet hole 520 .

[0072] Specifically, the length of the pushing head 535 can be set to correspond to the depth of the bayonet hole 520 so as to completely push the bayonet 511 out of the bayonet hole 520 .

[0073] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present application, the length of the pushing head 535 can be set to be smaller than the depth of the pin hole 520, and the end of the pin 511 can be set to a hemispherical structure. After the pushing head 535 pushes part of the pin 511 out of the pin hole 520, the first joint 410 and the second joint 420 can be used to rotate relative to each other to cooperate with the hemispherical end of the pin 511, so that the pin 511 can completely exit the pin hole 520.

[0074] As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments of the present application, the end of the pushing head 535 is a pointed structure. When the pushing head 535 deviates from the pin hole 520, when the pushing head 535 is pressed, the pointed structure guides the pushing head 535 to insert into the pin hole 520, thereby improving the reliability of use.

[0075] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present application, the end of the pushing head 535 is a hemispherical structure, which can also play a guiding role.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 5 , in some embodiments of the present application, the pushing head 535 is an extended structure with a cross-shaped cross-section to improve its structural strength and reduce deformation, breakage, etc.

[0077] Specifically, the pressing member 530 is made of plastic as a whole so that it has certain plastic deformation performance to meet the pressing requirements. By adopting a pushing head 535 with a cross-shaped cross-section, deformation, breakage, etc. of the pushing head 535 can be reduced.

[0078] As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments of the present application, the pressing member 530 is a plastic member, the pressing portion 532 is an outward-convex hollow structure protruding toward the outside of the folding stool, and the pushing head 535 is arranged on the inner side of the pressing portion 532. The pressing portion 532 with the outward-convex hollow structure can facilitate user operation, and the plastic deformation properties of the plastic member can be utilized to enable the pushing head 535 to be pushed to a deeper position.

[0079] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present application, the pressing member 530 can also be a button, which is equipped with a return spring. The button is provided with a pushing structure capable of pushing the latch 511, and can also realize control of the elastic latch mechanism 510.

[0080] As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments of the present application, the elastic pin mechanism 510 includes a pin seat 512 arranged on the first joint 410, and the pin seat 512 is provided with an inner hole for the pin 511 to be installed, and a spring 513 is arranged in the inner hole. The spring 513 is pressed between the pin seat 512 and the pin 511, thereby generating an outward elastic thrust on the pin 511, thereby realizing its automatic locking function.

[0081] Specifically, the first joint 410 is provided with a bayonet seat 512 for installing the bayonet, and the elastic bayonet mechanism 510 is inserted into the through hole of the first joint 410 as a whole, and the bayonet 511 is exposed.

[0082] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present application, the latch 511 can be directly connected to the first joint 410 through an elastic member such as a metal sheet, and its elastic expansion function can also be realized.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the first rotational joint 300 includes a seat joint 310 provided on the stool seat assembly 100 and a foot joint 320 provided on the stool leg assembly 200. A locking mechanism is provided between the seat joint 310 and the foot joint 320. The locking mechanism structure is similar to the locking mechanism structure between the above-mentioned first joint 410 and the second joint 420 to realize the positioning function of the first rotational joint 300.

[0084] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present application, a locking mechanism of other structures may also be provided between the seat joint 310 and the foot joint 320, such as a marble positioning mechanism, a latching structure in which a latch and a slot cooperate, and the like.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the stool leg assembly 200 is a retractable stool leg structure, so that the length of the stool leg assembly 200 can be adjusted as needed to meet different usage requirements.

[0086] Specifically, as shown in FIG3 , the footstool assembly 200 includes two legs 210 and two beams 220 respectively connecting the two legs 210 . The footstool assembly 200 has a ladder-like structure, and the legs 210 are configured as retractable legs to meet the length adjustment requirements of the legs.

[0087] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the present application, the stool leg assembly 200 may also have other structures, such as including two legs 210 and a beam 220, where the middle parts of the two legs 210 are connected by the beam 220 to form an H-shaped structure.

[0088] Of course, in the specific implementation process, the stool leg assembly 200 can also be formed by three or more legs connected by a crossbeam, or the stool leg assembly 200 can also be composed of at least two independent legs, both of which can meet the folding requirements of the stool leg assembly 200.

[0089] As shown in FIG3 and FIG10 , in some embodiments of the present application, the support leg 210 is a pipe, and an extension leg 211 is slidably provided inside the pipe. A positioning mechanism is provided between the extension leg 211 and the support leg 210 to position the extension length of the extension leg 211 .

[0090] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present application, the extension leg 211 may also be slidably disposed on the outer wall of the support leg 210 , which will not be described in detail herein.
