Folding Chair Side Bags With Self-Contained Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing three-dimensional folding chairs with side bags face issues of separate packaging bags being easily lost during storage and re-packing, leading to inconvenience and increased volume occupation.
Innovation Solution
A folding chair design featuring integrated side bags and packing straps with a locking mechanism that wraps around the folded stand to form a self-contained packaging structure, eliminating the need for a separate bag and providing additional storage for objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a separate bag is used to pack the folding chair, then the chair can be stored and transported, but the bag is easily lost during use and storage, causing inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the packaging function directly into the folding chair structure by incorporating side bags and packing straps as built-in components. The side bags are attached to the chair frame, and the packing straps are integrated into the side bag structure, allowing the chair to self-package without requiring a separate external bag. This merging of the packaging function into the chair itself eliminates the risk of losing a separate bag and simplifies the storage process.
2Ease of manufacture
If traditional separate packaging is used, then packaging is simple, but additional volume is required for the separate bag and it increases storage space occupation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested packaging structure where the side bags and packing straps are integrated within the chair's own structure. When the chair is folded, the side bags wrap around the chair frame and the packing straps secure the entire structure, creating a compact self-contained package. This nested approach eliminates the need for an external separate bag, thereby reducing the overall storage volume required while maintaining packaging simplicity.
3Ease of operation
If the folding chair is designed with integrated side bags and packing straps, then packaging convenience and integrity are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The side bags serve multiple functions: they provide storage space for small items during use, act as the packaging structure when folded, and include integrated packing straps for securing. This multi-functionality means that while the structure is more complex than a simple chair, the additional components serve multiple purposes rather than adding unnecessary complexity. The side bags and packing straps are not just packaging elements but also functional storage features during use.

AI summary
This invention is to a folding chair with side bags that have a self-contained packaging functionality, composed of a folding stand as well as a seat fabric and a backrest fabric fixed to the folding stand. When the folding stand is opened, the seat fabric and the backrest fabric are in an unfolded open state. In a preferred embodiment, corresponding side bags and packing straps are provided at the seat fabric edges or on the handrails on both sides of the chair. Packing straps are provided behind the side bags. Locking mechanisms are provided on the two side bags and two packing straps. When folded, the two side bags will wrap around the outside of the folded chair and the two packing straps will wrap around the rest of the outside of the folded folding stand.
