Abstract
An improved folding chair comprises two support frames and toggle joint bars bridging the two support frames about an axis in a cross and staggered manner to form a seating zone. The two opposing inner sides of the front post and the rear post of the support frames have respectively a hollow coupling sleeve mounted thereon to couple with two ends of linkage bar. The coupling sleeve has an extending stepwise pivotal neck to couple with a tubular rod to attach the toggle joint bars such that the toggle joint bars are turnable about the axis to turn the tubular rod about the pivotal neck to allow the support frame and the toggle joint bars to fold toward one another.

An improved folding chair, comprising:
- at least two support frames each including a front post, a rear post and a linkage bar bridging the front and the rear post;
- and
- toggle joint bars bridging the two support frames about an axis in a cross and staggered manner to form a seating zone;
- wherein opposing inner sides of the front post and the rear post each have respectively a hollow coupling sleeve mounted thereon to engage respectively with each end of the linkage bar, the coupling sleeve having a stepwise pivotal neck extended from one end thereof to couple a tubular rod surrounding a portion of the linkage bar and to attach the toggle joint bars such that the toggle joint bars are turnable about an axis of the linkage bar to turn the tubular rod about the pivotal neck to allow the support frames and the toggle joint bars to fold toward one another.
