DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S)

[0031] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, a round collapsible chair is shown, including collapsible leg 1 and seat body 2. The seat body 2 is suspended to or fixed to armrest 11 above leg 1. In this figure, the armrest 11 is a closed circle and may be designed as any of the following shapes depending on particular demand: circle, oval, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, trapezoid, gourd shape, or bread shape with rounded corners at the upper portion and square corners at the lower portion. In this instance, the leg 1 is a specific example, including armrest 11 and collapsible linking member 12, both of which are detachable construction. Any existing collapsible chair with closed armrest 11 will be applicable for this proposal and this proposal focuses on seat design.

[0032] FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 show a webbing seat. The seat body 2 includes hem 21 and sitting section and is fixed or suspended to armrest 11 through hem 21 to form a reliable leisure chair.

[0033] In seat body 2, the sitting (seating) section includes cushion 22 and backrest 23; the cushion 22 uses the same fabric as that of hem 21 where cushion 22 front is sewn together to the hem 21, forming an arc connection to support human hip and both legs.

[0034] The backrest 23 is composed of webbing at 231, one end of which is sewn to hem 21 and the other to the edge of cushion 22; cushion 22 front is sewn to the hem 21 and cushion back is suspended through webbing 231 to form a backrest. Through the suspension, the sitting section has cushion 22 and backrest 23 and is visually closer to a conventional chair than a spring seat. Namely, it is leisure chair with comfort at the first place. Therefore, the sitting section is designed as follows: the angle between cushion 22 and backrest 23 is greater than 90 degrees at any position along the seat and cushion 22 is rearwardly inclined at 5-20 degrees as shown in FIG. 2; that is the inclination is towards the joining place of backrest 23 and regardless of deformation of sitting section after sitting. A human hip will stay at the joining place of the cushion and backrest and will not slide forward even when the user's body leans backward.

[0035] For suspended webbing backrest 231, there are two typical proposals:

[0036] Number 1, webbing 231 is uniformly distributed between cushion 2 back and hem 21 in a radial form as shown in FIG. 5; and

[0037] Number 2, webbing 231 is uniformly distributed between cushion 2 back and hem 21 in a cross-woven construction. To be more specific, the cross angle should be less than 90 degrees to form a diamond mesh that is more stable in suspension as shown in FIG. 6.

[0038] For the seat section, oxford cushion 22 and webbing backrest 23 are all flexible materials and inevitably shapeless when unfolded. Hence, molding rod 3 is installed around the back edge of cushion 22 and passes through the fabric pocket 221 along the edge of cushion; fabric pocket 221 is sealed at both ends to restrain molding rod 3, or the edge of cushion 22 is sewn into loop shape and sealed with rivets after molding rod 3 passes; the molding rod can be a metal tube with certain weight and bent into specific form to maintain sitting section in good shape with its own weight; of course, this molding rod can be also plastic one as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

[0039] Also, the addition of molding rod may increase carrying capacity of cushion 22 and uniformly allocates load to webbing 231.The bottom end of webbing 231 passes around downside of pocket 221, or is sewn together with downside of the pocket. Therefore, the molding rod has dual functions.

[0040] The shape of hem 21 is to follow that of the armrest and may be as same as or close to that of the armrest such as circle, oval, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, trapezoid, gourd shape, or bread shape with rounded corners at the upper and square corners at the lower. The inner and outside edges of hem are of the same shape. The outside edge can be as same as armrest 11 and inner edge can be a mix of specific shapes; whatever it is, the outside edge should be equipped with sewn pocket for penetration of armrest 11 and for suspension of sitting section.
