A folding chair includes a seat, a front leg unit, a rear leg unit, at least one coupling rod unit, and a safety mechanism. The folding chair is convertible between a folded state and an unfolded state. When the folding chair is in the unfolded state, a blocking member of the safety mechanism is switchable between a locked state, in which the blocking member abuts against a first coupling rod for blocking movement of the at least one coupling rod unit to maintain the folding chair in the unfolded state, and an unlocked state, in which the first coupling rod is not obstructed by the blocking member, such that conversion of the folding chair to the folded state to the folded state is permitted.

A chair includes a seat, a backrest and a frame to support the seat and backrest. The frame includes first and second supports disposed at first and second sides of the chair, respectively. The chair also includes a first engaging mechanism pivotally coupling the backrest with the first support, and a second engaging mechanism pivotally coupling the backrest with the second support. The first or second engaging mechanism includes first, second and third members. The first member fixedly is coupled with the backrest. The second member pivotally connects the first member of the respective engaging mechanism with the first or second support, thereby allowing the backrest to rotate along a first axis in the width direction of the chair. The third member is fixedly coupled with the first or second support and configured to limit the rotation of the backrest.

A portable chair may include a first front leg and a second front leg connected by a front sled and a first back leg and a second back leg connected by a back sled. The front sled may include a first front foot and a second front foot and the back sled may include a first back foot and a second back foot. Each of the feet attached to the front and back sleds may include retention feature holes configured to allow water to drain from the sled/foot interface. The portable chair may further include a seat including a seat frame border including a plurality of protrusions. The seat frame border may be rigidly attached to the seat via an injection molding process. In addition, the portable chair may have a cup holder assembly that can detachably attach to either of the front legs of the chair. The cup holder assembly may have a cup holder portion that can attach to a mounting base that is attached to the leg of the portable chair.

A multifunctional grandstand chair includes a chair frame, a cushion movably arranged on the chair frame, and backrest cloth. The chair frame includes a base frame, a backrest tube and two foot supports, which are respectively pivoted to two sides of the base frame and capable of being inwards folded onto the base frame or outwards unfolded to support the base frame. The multifunctional grandstand chair further includes fixed connecting pieces connected between the base frame and the foot supports to limit the maximum unfolding angle of the foot supports. When the multifunctional grandstand chair needs to be transformed into a grandstand chair structure, the foot supports are folded onto the base frame. When the multifunctional grandstand chair needs to be transformed into a common chair, the foot supports are unfolded to be supported on the ground.

A cushion device for a foldable chair includes a buffer member and a tension spring. The buffer member includes a sleeve portion for sleeving over a side part of a rear leg, a buffer portion provided on the sleeve portion and an embedded portion provided along a side of the sleeve portion and embedded inside a side channel of the rear leg and secured thereat via a fixing element. The tension spring includes a spring body having a first hooking portion fixed a pivot plate of a seat and a second hooking portion including a second extension section, a second bent section engaging a limiting plate of a front leg and a third extension section extending from the second bent section in such a manner to prevent disengagement of the second bent section of the tension spring from a hooking hole in the limiting plate.

A folding kitchen stool is stored in a pocket on an inner surface of a kitchen cupboard door. The stool includes left and right folding legs. The right folding legs are widely spaced apart leaving a gap for the left folding legs to overlap the right folding legs when the stool is folded for storing. The pocket provides a mouth which accepts the left folding legs to store the folded stool.

A seat stand for use with a seat removed from a vehicle and method is disclosed. The vehicle has a retaining member and a retaining pin spaced apart by a distance Dv. The seat stand includes a support base and a retaining member having at least one slot. The retaining member is coupled to the support base. An attachment member is coupled to an upper wall of the support base and spaced apart from the retaining member a distance Ds. A front leg is pivotably coupled to the support base and is movable between a stowed position and an open position. Similarly, a rear leg is pivotably coupled to the support base and is movable between a stowed position and an open position. In one embodiment, the distance Ds is substantially the same as the distance Dv.
