DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Embodiment 1

(12) As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the folding chair includes the seat surface 1 and the frame 2. The seat surface 1 covers the seat cushion portion and the backrest portion of the frame 2. The frame 2 includes the two front leg bars 3, the two rear leg bars 4, the two backrest bars 5, the front crossed bars 6 arranged between the two front leg bars 3, the rear crossed bars 7 arranged between the two rear leg bars 4, the left crossed bars arranged between the left front leg bar 3 and the left rear leg bar 4, and the right crossed bars arranged between the right front leg bar 3 and the right rear leg bar 4. The upper portions of the two front leg bars 3 are respectively provided with a front hinge member 23. The two front leg bars 3 are provided with the front sliding sleeves 10 under the front hinge members 23. The two rear leg bars 4 are respectively provided with the stop locker 12. The two backrest bars 5 are respectively provided with the backrest sliding sleeve 11.

(13) The two upper terminals of the front crossed bars 6 are respectively hinged to the front hinge members 23 on the two front leg bars 3, and the two lower terminals of the front crossed bars 6 are respectively hinged to the two front sliding sleeves 10.

(14) Among two front terminals of the left crossed bars and two front terminals of the right crossed bars, the upper terminals are correspondingly hinged to the front leg bars 3, and the lower terminals are hinged to the front sliding sleeves 10. Among two rear terminals of the left crossed bars and two rear terminals of the right crossed bars, the upper terminals are correspondingly hinged to the backrest sliding sleeves 11, and the lower terminals are hinged to the stop lockers 12. The left rear leg bar 4 is hinged to the upper terminals of the left crossed bars, and the right rear leg bar 4 is hinged to the upper terminals of the right crossed bars.

(15) Two upper terminals of the rear crossed bars 7 are respectively hinged to the backrest sliding sleeves 11 on the two backrest bars 5, and two lower terminals of the rear crossed bars 7 are respectively hinged to the stop lockers 12.

(16) In the above-mentioned solution, the stop locker 12 includes the two side plates 13 and the rear plate 14. The clamping groove 20 is formed within the two side plates 13 and the rear plate 14. When the folding chair is unfolded, the rear leg bar 4 passes through the clamping groove 20. The two side plates 13 are respectively provided on the inner side and the outer side of the rear leg bar 4. The rear plate 14 is located at the rear side of the rear leg bar 4. The rear plate 14 and the two side plates 13 are fixedly connected or formed as a single whole piece. The lower portions of the two side plates 13 are hinged to the rear leg bars 4. The hinge members 24 are respectively provided on the two side plates 13. The lower terminal of the rear terminals of the left crossed bars and the lower end of the backrest bar 5 on the left side are hinged to the hinge member 24 on the side plate 13 at the outer side of the stop locker 12 on the left. The lower terminal on the left side of the rear crossed bars 7 is hinged to the hinge member 24 on the side plate 13 at the inner side of the stop locker 12 on the left. Correspondingly, the lower terminal of the rear terminals of the right crossed bars and the lower end of the backrest bar 5 on the right side are hinged to the hinge member 24 on the side plate 13 at the outer side of the stop locker 12 on the right. The lower terminal on the right side of the rear crossed bars 7 is hinged to the hinge member 24 on the side plate 13 at the inner side of the stop locker 12 on the right.

(17) In the unfolded state of the folding chair of the present invention, the upper and lower included angles of the front crossed bars 6, the rear crossed bars 7, the left crossed bars 8 and the right crossed bars 9 are obtuse angles. The rear leg bar 4 passes through the clamping groove 20 of the stop locker 12. The rear plate 14 of the stop locker 12 acts to limit the position of the rear leg bar 4. The rear leg bar 4 is inclined forward. The backrest bar 5 applies force on the stop locker 12 to cause the inner wall of the clamping groove 20 of the stop locker 12 to closely contact the rear leg bar 4, so the stop locking is steadier, the unfolded state of the folding chair is more stable, and the folding chair is safer to use. When the folding chair is to be folded, the backrest bar 5 is moved forward by one hand, and the left crossed bars or the right crossed bars are lifted upward by the other hand, so to release the stop locking. Then, the front crossed bars 6, the rear crossed bars 7, the left crossed bars 8 and the right crossed bars 9 are folded to minimize the volume of the folding chair. The folding chair of the present invention has a simple structure and a user-friendly operation. In the folding state, the folding chair is bundled up, so the folding chair is small in size and easy to carry and transport. In the unfolded state, the stop locking is steady and reliable, and the folding joints are less likely to become loosened, so the folding chair is safe and reliable in use.

Embodiment 2

(18) As shown in FIGS. 6-10, Embodiment 2 is different from Embodiment 1 in that the stop locker 12 is the locking slider. The locking slider includes the rear leg bar sleeve 15, the locking pin 16, the lever member 17, the compression spring 18 and the pin rod 19. The rear leg bar sleeve 15 is provided with a through hole 21 having a shape identical to the shape of the rear leg bar 4. The locking slider is sleeved on the rear leg bar 4 through the through hole 21. The mounting member configured to mount the lever member 17 is provided on the rear leg bar sleeve 15. The pin hole configured to allow the pin rod 19 to pass is provided in the mounting member. The lever member 17 is rotatably connected to the rear leg bar sleeve 15 by the pin rod 19. The locking pin 16 is hinged to one free end of the lever member 17. The locking pin hole is provided on the rear leg bar sleeve 15 at a position aligned to the locking pin 16. The locking pin 16 passes through the locking pin hole and is perpendicular to the rear leg bar 4. The other free end of the lever member 17 is provided with the locking button. The compression spring 18 is provided between the locking button and the rear leg bar sleeve 15. The compression spring 18 is arranged against the locking button, so that the locking pin 16 on the lever member 17 closely presses against the rear leg bar 4. By configuring the stop locker 12, the compression spring 18 applies force to the locking pin 16 by the lever member to make the locking pin 16 closely press against the rear leg bar 4, so as to achieve the locking of the stop locker 12 and the rear leg bar 4. By doing so, the unfolding state of the folding chair is more stable. When the folding chair is to be folded, the locking button is pressed by one hand to realize the unlocking, and the backrest bar is moved downward by the other hand, so the folding of the folding chair is completed. In order to enhance the locking of the locking pin 16 and the rear leg bar 4, structures such as pattern, the blind hole, the through hole, the ratchet, etc., are provided on the rear leg bar 4 at a position aligned to the locking pin 16, so the action force between the locking pin 16 and the rear leg bar 4 is increased, the folding chair is more stable in the unfolded state. The frame 2 will not be unintentionally folded, thereby ensuring the user's safety. In the solution of Embodiment 2, the folding chair is folded and unfolded in a more convenient way. After folding, the folding chair is bundled up, so the folding chair is small in size, and easy to carry and transport.

(19) The above-mentioned embodiments are intended to illustrate the specific implementations of the present invention, rather than limit the scope of the present invention. A person skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to obtain the corresponding equivalent technical solutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Hence, all equivalent technical solutions should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
