Foldable Game Chair Structure for Space-Saving Tailgate Play
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
At outdoor events like tailgate parties, there is a challenge in finding space to transport both seating and game equipment, as vehicles have limited capacity, making it difficult to accommodate both seating and game-playing essentials simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A foldable chair designed with integrated game features, such as a field goal, basketball net, and backboard, which can convert from a seating chair to a game-playing device, allowing for compact storage and easy transportation, including a carrying case to house all components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate chairs and game equipment are transported to outdoor events, then adequate seating and game facilities are provided, but vehicle space is excessively consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a chair and game equipment (such as a football field goal or basketball hoop) into a single integrated structure. The game equipment is mounted on the chair frame, allowing both seating and gameplay functions to coexist in one device, thereby reducing the volume of moving objects during transport while maintaining adaptability for multiple uses at outdoor events
Solution Approach 2:
The chair is designed with universal functionality by incorporating game equipment that can be used by multiple people and for multiple purposes. The structure serves both as seating for spectators and as a functional game target, enabling one device to fulfill multiple roles at tailgate parties and outdoor gatherings, thus eliminating the need for separate transport of chairs and game equipment
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate equipment items are transported for outdoor events, then complete seating and game setup is achieved, but transportation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate equipment items (chair, field goal, basketball hoop, or other game structures) into a single integrated assembly. This reduces the number of components that need to be individually transported and assembled, while still providing a complete game setup capability at the event location
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated structure is designed with segmentable components that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The game equipment is attached to the chair frame through connectable joints, allowing the structure to be broken down into manageable segments for transport and then quickly reassembled at the event, thereby reducing transportation complexity while maintaining complete game setup capability

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a chair with game features. A foldable chair includes a foldable structure having a back canvas structure, a bottom canvas secured to the foldable structure and having a through-hole, a cover flap removably connected to the bottom canvas covering the through-hole, and a back canvas removably secured to the back canvas structure. A field goal includes a plurality of pipes connected with a plurality of connection fittings. The back canvas can be removed so that the field goal can be removably connected to the back canvas structure. The cover flap can be moved from a first position covering the through-hole, and a second position where the through-hole is exposed. In some embodiments a foldable backboard can be removably connected to the back canvas structure.
