Abstract
A folding chair includes two pairs of intersected legs. A traverse pivot rail interconnects the intersections of the two pairs of legs. Two support mechanisms are spaced along the pivot rail, each support mechanism comprising an upper hole. Two cylinder pads are anchored in the upper holes. Two fastening mechanisms each include an upper section and a lower section, each section having a half tube mating and coupled to each other with the pivot rail passed therethrough. A seat is pivotably secured to the pivot rail by fasteners threaded through the upper and the lower sections and into the seat. In a use position, the seat is adapted to exhibit an elastic, downward movement as buffered by the cylinder pads. In a folding operation, the seat is turned about the pivot rail until being stopped by a chair back.
Claims4
A folding chair, comprising:
- two pairs of legs, the legs of each pair intersecting at an intersection;
- a transverse pivot rail interconnecting the intersections of the two pairs of legs;
- two support mechanisms spaced along the pivot rail, each support mechanism immovably fixed to the pivot rail and being shaped as a loop and comprising an upper hole;
- two cylinder pads anchored in the upper holes;
- two fastening mechanisms each comprising upper and lower sections, each section having a half tube mating and coupled to each other with the pivot rail passed therethrough;
- and
- a seat pivotably secured to the pivot rail by a plurality of fasteners threaded through the upper and the lower sections and into the seats, with the seat being pivotable relative to the two support mechanisms and the two cylinder pads,
- wherein in a use position, the seat is adapted to exhibit an elastic, downward movement as buffered by the cylinder pads;
- and in a folding operation, the seat is turned about the pivot rail until being stopped.
