Abstract

A folding chair includes left and right frame rods, left and right frame rotating elements, left and right rear leg sliding elements, left and right rear leg rods, left and right rear leg fixing elements, left and right back rest rods, left and right back rest rod sliding elements, left and right front leg rods, leg terminals, left and right connecting rods, left and right handrail rods, left and right handrail fixing elements, left and right handrail supporting rods, left and right supporting rod sliding elements, limiting elements, left and right sliding elements, supporting rods, pad portion and back rest portion. The folding chair is compact and portable when folded and demonstrates high stability and high load-bearing capability when unfolded.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 108108625 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on Mar. 14, 2019, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present disclosure relates to folding chairs and, more particularly, to a folding chair not only can be folded to store but can also be unfolded to use.2. Description of the Related Art[0003]A conventional folding chair consists of a frame, two legs, a pad and a back rest. The legs movably cross the frame. The pad movably fits to the frame. The back rest is mounted on the top of the frame. Therefore, the legs and the pad are unfolded on one side of the frame such that a sitter can sit on the pad. Alternatively, the legs and the pad can press against each other toward the frame, thereby allowing the folding chair to be folded.[0004]However, the conventional foldi...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]In view of the aforesaid drawbacks of the prior art, it is an objective of the present disclosure to provide a folding chair which can be folded up like an umbrella and thus takes up little space and is portable and can be unfolded to demonstrate high stability and high load-bearing capability.

[0019]Therefore, the folding chair of the present disclosure can be folded up like an umbrella and thus takes up little space and is portable and can be unfolded to demonstrate high stability and high load-bearing capability.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional folding chair has drawbacks described below.

Folding the conventional folding chair involves pressing the legs and the pad against each other toward the frame; as a result, the width of the frame and the width of the pad remain unchanged, regardless of whether the conventional folding chair is folded or unfolded, and thus the conventional folding chair takes up much space and is not portable.

Furthermore, after the folding chair has been unfolded, only the bottom of the frame and the legs are in contact with the ground to bear the weight of the folding chair, thereby compromising the stability and load-bearing capability of the folding chair.
