## Abstract

A folding hammock, comprising a bracket and a flexible bed surface; The bracket includes landing rod groups and support rod groups on both sides, as well as associated rod groups on both sides; The support rod group is set at both ends of the landing rod group, which includes the main support rod and the auxiliary support rod. The auxiliary support rod is set on the inner side of the main support rod and is associated with the landing rod group through the clamping component at the end. It opens in place and forms a triangular structure with the local landing rods in the landing rod group, achieving stable support.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A foldable hammock, comprising a bracket and a flexible bed surface supported by the bracket, characterized in that the bracket comprises a landing rod group and a support rod group on both sides, as well as an associated rod group related to the support rod groups on both sides;
The grounding rod group includes two grounding rods that are cross hinged together, with the hinge points of the two grounding rods located above the center point of the rod. The hinge points divide the upper shorter support section and the lower longer and end landing section, and a clamping component is set between the end of the open support section and the landing section of the other grounding rod, forming an association constraint between the two grounding rods;
The support rod group is arranged at both ends of the landing rod group, including a main support rod and a auxiliary support rod. The lower end of the main support rod is hinged at the end of the landing section of the landing rod, and the upper end is suspended to hang the flexible bed surface; The upper end of the auxiliary support rod is hinged in the middle of the main support rod, and the lower end is hinged in the end of the support section of the other landing rod;
The associated rod group comprises two cross hinged rods in the middle, with the lower ends of the two rods correspondingly hinged at the lower ends of the main support rods on both sides, and the upper ends correspondingly hinged at the middle of the auxiliary support rods on both sides.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A folding hammock according to claim 1, characterized in that the clamping component comprises an upper plastic part and a lower plastic part, wherein the upper plastic part is horizontally formed with a blind hole for inserting and riveting the end of the landing rod support section, and the lower end surface is formed with a downward facing tenon; The lower plastic part is horizontally formed with a through hole for the landing section of the ground rod to pass through, an upper end surface is formed with a slot for the tenon to be inserted and clamped, and the lower end surface is formed with a landing flat bottom that can be stably supported on the ground.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A folding hammock according to claim 2, characterized in that: the upper plastic part in the clamping component is also formed with a hinge groove on one side of the blind hole to hinge the auxiliary support rod, and the upper end of the landing rod support section, the auxiliary support rod end, and the upper plastic part are riveted together with a rivet, and the auxiliary support rod is allowed to swing around the rivet; The through holes and card slots on the lower plastic part of the clamping component are misaligned on both sides. The through holes are located below the front projection of the hinge groove, the card slot is located below the front projection of the blind hole, and the flat bottom of the ground is located directly below the through hole. A support foot that can land on one side of the corresponding card slot is also provided.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

A folding hammock according to claim 3, characterized in that a storage groove is formed above the through-hole of the lower plastic part in the clamping component, and a storage groove is set on both sides of the groove wall, and the tenon and the storage groove are in a wedge-shaped fit.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A folding hammock according to claim 1, characterized in that a triangular seat is arranged at the hinge joint between the middle of the main support rod and the end of the auxiliary support rod, and a right angle seat is arranged at the hinge joint between the end of the main support rod and the end of the landing rod. With the help of the triangular seat, right angle seat, and clamping component, the landing area of the auxiliary support rod, the main support rod, and the landing rod is kept in the same plane, and a triangular structure is formed locally when opened in place.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A folding hammock according to claim 1, characterized in that: a flexible bed surface is sewn with fabric covers at both ends, and a tension rod is threaded through the fabric cover. The two ends of the tension rod are hung with hanging chains, which are hung on the hanging plastic part at the top of the main support rod.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

A foldable hammock according to claim 6, characterized in that the hanging plastic part is formed into a rod sleeve that can be fixed at the end of the main support rod, and a support ring platform is extended along the lower edge of the rod sleeve. The area of the support ring platform is larger than the area of the hanging ring at the end of the hanging chain.
