DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0031] This invention will be described in detail below with
reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. This invention provides a
foldable hanging chair, including: a frame 1, a base 2, at least
one support rod 3, and flexible connection members 4. The base 2 is
foldably installed at a bottom of the frame 1. The support rod 3 is
foldably installed at one side of the frame 1. The flexible
connection members 4 connect the frame 1, the base 2, and the
support rod 3 together.
[0033] As shown in FIG. 1, in an unfolded state, both the support
rod 3 and the base 2 are at a certain angle to the frame 1, and the
frame 1, the base 2, the support rod 3, and the flexible connection
members 4 enclose an accommodation space 101 for people to sit. As
shown in FIG. 2, in a folded state, both the support rod 3 and the
base 2 are close to one side of the frame 1.
[0034] As the flexible connection members 4 connect the frame 1,
the base 2, and the support rod 3 together, the folding of the
foldable hanging chair is not affected. After the foldable hanging
chair is folded, both the support rod 3 and the base 2 are close to
one side of the frame 1, and the volume is greatly reduced, which
is convenient for packaging, transportation, and storage, greatly
reduces the cost of the packaging and the transportation, and is
popular for popularization. It should be noted that "both the
support rod 3 and the base 2 are close to one side of the frame 1"
can be understood as the support rod 3 and the base 2 are close to
the same side of the frame 1, and it can also be understood that
the support rod 3 and the base 2 are close to two sides of the
frame 1, respectively. This invention is not limited thereto.
[0035] Both the base 2 and the support rod 3 are foldably installed
at the frame 1 through folding structures 5. The folding structure
5 connected with the base 2 and the folding structure 5 connected
with the support rod 3 may be the same or different.
[0036] Please refer to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, the folding structure 5
includes a first connection member 51, a second connection member
52, and a third connection member 53. The first connection member
51 is fixedly connected with the frame 1, the second connection
member 52 is fixedly connected with the base 2 or the support rod
3, and the third connection member 53 is connected with the first
connection member 51 and the second connection member 52, such that
the second connection member 52 is capable of being rotated
relative to the first connection member 51. The folding structure 5
is very simple and flexible to use.
[0037] Further, the first connection member 51 may be a sheet-like
structure welded at the frame 1.
[0038] The second connection member 52 may have a plurality of
shapes. As shown in the figure, the second connection member 52 has
a spherical end; as shown in the figure, the second connection
member 52 has two clamping arms to clamp the first connection
member 51; and as shown in the figure, the end of the second
connection member 52 is sheet-shaped. The shape of the second
connection member 52 can be changed according to installation
requirements, and the shape of the second connecting member 52 is
not limited by this invention.
[0039] The third connection member 53 may have a plurality of
embodiments. In the first embodiment, please refer to FIG. 5. The
third connection member 53 includes a stud 531 and a nut 532, one
end of the stud 531 is fixedly connected with the second connection
member 52, and the other end of the stud 531 passes through the
first connection member 51 and is connected with the nut 532
through thread cooperation. However, in another variant embodiment,
the stud 531 may also be fixedly connected with the first
connection member 51, and the other end of the stud 531 passes
through the second connection member 52 and is connected with the
nut 532 through the thread cooperation.
[0040] In the second embodiment, please refer to the figure. The
third connection member 53 includes a first rivet 533 and a second
rivet 534, and the first rivet 533 passes through the first
connection member 51 and the second connection member 52 and is
riveting with the second rivet 534.
[0041] In the third embodiment, please refer to the figure. The
third connection member 53 includes a screw 531' and a nut 532',
one end of the screw 531' abuts against one side of the first
connection member 51 or one side of the second connection member
52, and the other end passes through the first connection member 51
and the second connection member 52 and is connected with the nut
532' through the thread cooperation.
[0042] The third connection members 53 of the embodiments shown in
the figures can realize the flexible rotation of the second
connection members 52 relative to the first connection members 51,
such that the folding and unfolding of the base 2 or the support
rod 3 can be easily realized. When the foldable hanging chair is
hung, due to the gravity of the base 2 and the support rod 3, the
base 2 and the support rod 3 will drive the second connection
member 52 to rotate relative to the first connection member 51,
such that the foldable hanging chair can be automatically unfolded
without any assembly, which is very convenient. Moreover, the
structures of the three embodiments are very simple and easy to
install, and connections are firm.
[0043] The frame 1 is in an arch-shape. The appearance is
beautiful, and sharp corners are avoided, which avoids bumping
people, and the structure is stable.
[0044] The support rod 3 is bent into an arc-shape. The appearance
is beautiful, and sharp corners are avoided, which avoids bumping
people, and the structure is stable.
[0045] The number of the support rods 3 may be multiple and is
selected according to the size of the hanging chair. In one
embodiment, the number of the support rods 3 is three, and the
three support rods 3 are arranged along the height direction of the
frame 1. Angles between the three support rods 3 and the frame 1
increase from top to bottom. Such structure is advantageous for
forming a nest-shaped accommodation space 101, which is beautiful
in appearance.
[0046] The base 2 includes a bottom frame 21 and grilles 22
connected inside the bottom frame 21. The base is breathable, and
the overall weight is light, which is convenient for transportation
and use.
[0047] The bottom frame 21 may be made of metal, for example, iron
or steel, and the structure is stable. The grille 22 may be made of
rattan, a woven band, a plastic rope or a steel wire, and it is
comfortable to use.
[0048] The frame 1 and the support rod 3 may be made of metal, for
example, iron or steel, and the structures are stable.
[0049] The flexible connection member 4 is a woven band, rattan, a
plastic rope, a steel wire, a strip of cloth or a piece of cloth,
and the material is cheap and practical.
[0050] The above-mentioned are only preferred embodiments of this
invention, and thus do not limit the protection scope of this
invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using
the specification and the drawings of this invention and directly
or indirectly applied to other related technical field is equally
included in the protection scope of this invention.
