Folding chair

The invention "relates to a folding chair and more particularly a chair with a seat and a back made of molded plastic material, which are held in a tubular frame.

According to the invention, a folding chair has a base frame and a seat and back parts in which the base frame has two pairs of legs, each pair pivotally connected at its ends remote from the floor, the seat between pivotally attached to one opposite leg of each pair and between the other opposite leg of each pair is slidably supported so that the seat can be folded into a flat position between the legs can when the chair is not in use, and that the back section is built-in to allow the swivel movement between the pairs of legs to limit.

Preferably, the back is AAF gexiiöhnlichen a rotary bolts ^s with, attached to each pair of legs and a backrest and armrests entäiält.

The chair according to the invention has the advantage that it is in an im essentially flat forin folded and then easily stacked with other chairs or with its back support over a horizontal mounting rail can be hung.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings; in this shows:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a chair in its open location, and

Fig. 2 is a side view of the chair when it is folded or is folded.

According to the drawing, the chair according to the invention has a base frame made up of two pairs of legs, in which each pair L or L ^{1 has} the shape of a TJ and the legs are connected at their upper ends by pivot bolts A, A ¹ , which also serve to to create an axis of rotation for a spud part B.

C shows a seat part which is essentially flat, both the seat and the back parts being suitably molded in a molding process from plastic material. The seat part 0 is formed with an edge R of greater thickness and has a surface F on each side, with bolts D, D ^{1 being} driven or otherwise fastened in the front end of these surfaces, by means of which the seat is pivotably suspended between the front pair of legs , while it is held at the rear by pins E, E ¹ , which slide into longitudinal slots S in each inflation.

The sides of the back part B, which form the armrests, have a hinge part H which is molded in one piece with them is dimensioned so that it is between Angelrinp; β at the top

Ends of the legs L, L ^f fits, whereby the backrest can perform pivoting movements with respect to the base frame ^. This movement is in one direction limited by the shape of the armrests adjoining the leg links so that the armrests are maintained in a substantially horizontal position when the chair is unfolded.

If the chair is not needed, it can be used in accordance with S ¹ Xg. 2- be folded up, and by exerting pressure on the legs L, L ^! these are pivoted from the fully open position shown in FIG. To the fully closed position, whereby the seat is moved from the horizontal position to a vertical one.

When the chair is folded up, the armrests of the chair can be pivoted into a vertical position so that the chair according to FIG. 2 ' is essentially flat and can easily be stacked, transported or packaged.

In a preferred embodiment, the seat and the Backrest made from molded expanded polystyrene, and the metal tubular members from which the legs are formed are chrome-plated. According to the drawing, one pair of legs is preferably slightly narrower in width than the other, see above that both pairs fold into each other when the chair is folded.
