The fifty-fifth rotating portion d52 is located between the fifty-second rotating portion d51 and the fifty-sixth rotating portion d53. The fifty-first rotating portion d33 is rotatably connected to the fifty-second rotating portion d51. Therefore, the driving assembly d is in direct transmission connection with the transmission assembly.

[0079] Since a distance between the sixth connecting member 6 and the pedestal d1 will change when the chair is switched between different the unfolded states, the driving assembly d in the present embodiment further includes a first connecting rod d6 and a second connecting rod d7. A supporting plate d11 is fixed on the pedestal d1. The supporting plate d11 is provided with a fifty-third rotating portion d111 and a fifty-fourth rotating portion d112. Two ends of the first connecting rod d6 are rotatably connected to the fifty-third rotating portion d111 and the fifty-fifth rotating portion d52, respectively, and two ends of the second connecting rod d7 are rotatably connected to the fifty-fourth rotating portion d112 and the fifty-sixth rotating portion d53, respectively.

[0080] Referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 15, when the chair is in the lifting state, the footrest assembly c retracted in a whole. The sixth connecting member 6 is inclined disposed relative to the pedestal d1, and the second connecting member 2 abuts against the first restricting piece 64.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 16, by shortening a length of the linear actuator d2, the sixth connecting member 6 is rotated, so that the chair can be switched from the lifting state to the seating state. At this time, the footrest assembly c is still in the retracted state, and the second connecting member 2 still abuts against the first restricting piece 64.

[0082] Referring to FIG. 13 and the FIG. 1, the length of the linear actuator d2 is further shortened, so that the bearing member a2 moves backward relative to the pedestal d1. At the same time, the first supporting member a1 and the second supporting member a3 are rotated, so that the footrest assembly c is switched to an opened state. Therefore, the chair is switched from the seating state to the TV state, and the second connecting member 2 still abuts against the first restricting piece 64 at this time.

[0083] Referring to FIG. 14 and the FIG. 17, the length of the linear actuator d2 is shortened again, so that the second connecting member 2 abuts against the second restricting piece 65. The first connecting member 1, the second connecting member 2 and the fourth connecting member 4 are further rotated, so that chair is switched from the TV state to the leisure state.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 18 and the FIG. 19, the chair of in the first embodiment has two disposing methods: one is vertically disposed and the other is horizontally disposed.

Second Embodiment

[0085] Referring to FIG. 20, the second embodiment provides a chair. The chair in the second embodiment is substantially the same as the chair in the first embodiment. A difference between the chair of the second embodiment and the chair of the first embodiment is in that: the bearing member a2 in the chair of the second embodiment is provided with a fifty-seventh rotating portion a26. The fortieth rotating portion of the fourth leg connecting member c4 is not rotatably connected to the forty-first rotating portion of the second supporting member a3, but the fortieth rotating portion of the fourth leg connecting member c4 is rotatably connected to the fifty-seventh rotating portion a26.
