A folding chair has a front leg assembly and a rear leg assembly rotatably mounted to the front leg assembly, the rear leg assembly foldable between an unfold extended configuration and a folded compact configuration wherein the rear leg assembly extends about parallel to the front leg assembly. The folding chair has a backrest mounted to the front leg assembly. The folding chair has a seat rotatably mounted to the front seat assembly, the seat being movable between a seating position and an upright position. The hair has a counterweight and damping components damping the pivotal motion of the seat when reaching the seating position and the upright position.

Collapsible holder for folding chair is set in a chair arm and the 3-D chair arm plane. The holder holds a cup or a cell phone (shape dependent, round or rectangular). The holder has a moveable member and a stationary member. The moveable member has a bottom plate, two or more upstanding legs and the legs have tabs. The stationary member has an upper lip, side wall(s) and retainers for the legs. The legs slidably move in the stationary member retainers such that in a collapsed mode, the bottom plate is closest to the lip and the holder is encased in the 3-D chair arm plane and, in the expanded mode when the tab acts as a stop against the retainer and the bottom plate is farthest away from the top surface of the chair arm and the lip, thereby enabled to hold a cup or cell phone.

A chair seat includes a main body, a seat body, and an insert body. The main body has a top body surface defining a groove. The seat body has a base layer and a cushioning layer. The base layer is disposed on the top body surface of the main body, and has a bottom surface that contacts the top body surface of the main body, a top surface that is opposite to the bottom surface, and a through hole that extends from the top surface to the bottom surface and that communicates with the groove of the main body. The cushioning layer is disposed over and is connected to the base layer. The insert body is disposed in the groove of the main body and the through hole of the base layer.

A foldable bench having a seat and front support members that may be rotated between a folded position and an unfolded position includes a backrest, first and second front support members, a seat, and a latch. The front support members are mounted to the font of the backrest and rotate laterally between a folded and unfolded position. The seat is mounted to the front of the backrest and rotates vertically between a folded and unfolded position. In the folded position, the seat is sandwiched between the backrest and the front support members. In the unfolded position, the seat prevents the front support members from rotating inwards to the folded position. The seat is supported in an unfolded position by seat supports located on each of the front support members, which are received by receivers in the seat. A latch located on one of the arms selectively engages an opening in the seat to secure the seat in the unfolded position.

A folding chair includes a chair frame that is foldable about a plurality of laterally extending axes between a set up condition and a folded condition, and includes a table that is slidably attached to the chair frame for lateral motion between a deployed position outside a spatial envelope of the chair frame and a stowed position within the spatial envelope of the chair frame, and that is pivotally attached to the chair frame such that when the chair frame is in its set up condition the table is disposed below a seat of the chair frame, and when the chair frame is in its folded condition the table is disposed substantially coplanar with the seat of the chair frame.

According to some embodiments, a folding chair comprises a first frame element, a second frame element, wherein the first frame element moves from a first position remote from the second frame element to a second position toward, adjacent to or against the second frame element, and a cradle comprising a guide member that guides the first frame element into the cradle.

A seating apparatus includes a seat member, a backrest member pivotally mounted to the seat member, and an armrest frame. The armrest frame includes a left armrest member, a right armrest member, and at least one connecting member pivotally mounted to the backrest member. Further, the seating apparatus includes a front support frame and a rear support frame. The front support frame includes a left front support structure and a right front support structure pivotally mounted to the left armrest member and the right armrest member, respectively. The rear support frame includes a left rear support structure, a right rear support structure pivotally coupled to the left front support structure and the right front support structure, respectively. The pivotal coupling in the seating apparatus facilitates the seating apparatus to be operated in an unfolded condition and a folded condition.
