Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a folding chair called a director chair, and more particularly to a folding chair having a plurality of seat portions arranged in parallel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A folding chair, which is a so-called director chair, has a structure in which a pair of left and right seat frames are crossed to pivotally connect the cross points, and a seat cloth is placed between the upper sides of the left and right leg frames. The backrest is erected and the backrest is erected on the left and right, and the backrest cloth is stretched between the backrest rods. The entire chair is folded in the left-right direction.

A folding chair in which the above-mentioned chairs that can be folded in the left-right direction are connected in series so as to provide a plurality of seat portions on the left and right like a bench is also known as a double director chair. In such a left-right folding chair having a plurality of seats, the side frames are laterally juxtaposed at both ends and at a place that serves as a partition between the seats, and between the side frames, a pair of U-shaped lower openings is formed. The lower part of the seat frame rod is pivotally fixed to the side frame leg, the intermediate part is crossed, and the crossing part is pivotally connected, and the cushion is stretched on the upper side part of the seat frame located between the side frames. However, a link rod is provided between the upper position of the crossing pivotal connection portion of the seat frame and the side frame. Particularly, the upper side of the side frame is an armrest, and the extension of the rear vertical rod of the side frame is the backrest rod. It is a thing (actual Kaisho Sho 60-1)
No. 3049, No. 3-850, No. 7-3678
No. 0).

The folding chair is often used as an outdoor article used for camping and picnics. By the way, for outdoor use by a family, it is necessary to consider not only adults but also children.
For this reason, as a conventional folding chair for children, a folding chair in which the seat position is high and the seat portion is small is provided because the same table is used as that of an adult (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-212058).
001-78854). However, if the seat is made smaller and the seat position is made higher, it lacks stability and is difficult to use.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel double-seat type folding chair, paying attention to the fact that the folding chair is used by a family.

[0006]

A folding chair according to the present invention comprises:
The rectangular frame-shaped side frames are arranged side by side, and between the side frames, a pair of lower opening U-shaped seat frame rods are pivotally fixed to the side frame legs at the lower part and crossed at the middle part and the crossed parts are crossed. The seat cloth is arranged so as to be pivotally connected, the seat cloth is stretched on the upper side portion of the seat frame located between the side frames, and the link rod is provided between the upper position of the cross pivot connection part of the seat frame and the side frame. In a folding chair having a plurality of seats, the seat frame rods arranged between the side frames are formed so that the seat position is higher than the adjacent seat positions. is there.

That is, according to the present invention, in the conventional folding chair of the double-seat type having the same seat portion, a part of the seat portion has a higher seat cushion position for children, and particularly, the folding chair for children is provided. It allows you to reach the same table with an adult without using it.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described. The folding chair shown in the embodiment is a twin director chair having two seats, and its basic configuration is the same as that of the conventional double seat type director chair, and the side frames 1a and 1b arranged in three rows. , 1c, backrest rods 2a, 2b and 2c connected to the side frames, seat frame rods 3A and 3B forming seat portions A and B arranged in parallel, and a link rod 4
A, 4B, and cushions 5A, 5B, and a backrest fabric 6A,
6B and.

The side frames 1a, 1b, 1c arranged in three rows are
It is formed in a rectangular frame shape, and the backrest rods 2a, 2b, 2 are formed on the back side.
c is connected, and a cover body is wound around the upper side to form an armrest 11. Especially, the height of each side frame is the same,
The front and rear widths are made narrower in the front and rear by the thickness of the seat frame rod.

The formation of the seats A for adults and B for children will be described. The seat frame rods 3A (31, 32), 3B (33, 34) forming the seats A and B are described below. The lower opening is U-shaped, and the lower portion is pivotally fixed to the vertical rod of the side frame, and the intermediate portion is crossed and the crossing portion is pivotally connected. Specifically, the seat frame rods 31, 32 forming the adult seat portion A are
With the same width as the side frame 1a, the lower end of the seat frame rod 31 has the side frame 1
The lower end of the seat frame rod 32 is disposed on the front and rear outer sides of the side frame 1b and is pivotally stopped.

Further, a seat frame rod 33 forming a child seat B,
34 is the same width as the inner width of the side frame 1b and the side frame 1c
The width of the seat frame rod 33 is the same as that of the side frame 1b.
The seat frame rod 34 is arranged on the front and rear inner sides of the side frame and is pivotally stopped.
Place it in and out of and lock it.

Then, link rods 4A and 4B connect the upper positions of the cross pivot joints of the seat frame rods 31, 32, 33 and 34 and the side frames 1a, 1b and 1c. Especially link rod 4
The connecting positions of A and 4B are the seat frame rods 31, 32, 33 and 34.
It is installed at a position where the upper side has a predetermined height (height for adults and children).

The seat cloth 5A is stretched between the upper sides of the seat frame rods 31 and 32, and the seat cloth 5B is stretched between the upper sides of the seat frame rods 33 and 34, and the backrest cloths 6A and 6B are further stretched. Are stretched between the backrest rods 2a, 2b, 2c, respectively. Also, the seat cloth 5A and the backrest cloth 6A, and the seat cloth 5B and the backrest cloth 6
B, and the backrest cloths 6A and 6B are connected to each other to form a single sheet.

When the side frames 1a, 1b, 1c are extended in the left-right direction, a chair having the seats A, B arranged in parallel is formed. The seat A is of a normal adult size, but adjacent to each other. Since the seat portion B is of a child size and has a height suitable for children, it is convenient for the family because it is adjacent to the children because the children are lined up next to the adults. It is ideal for family gatherings because adults can sit down and easily look after children.

Further, by bringing the side frames 1a, 1b, 1c close to each other, the whole can be folded, and when only the side frame 1c is brought close to the side frame 1b side, only the child seat B is folded and the adult It is also possible to use it alone.

In the above embodiment, the twin type is shown, but the present invention is not limited to the twin type, and may have three seats or four seats, and in a plurality of seats, the seating position of the child seat portion. Is also determined arbitrarily.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, a folding chair called a director chair has a parallel structure and is a double-seat type folding chair, and a part of the seat portion is a seat for a child and the seat position is raised. It is provided with a section so that an adult can reach the same table without using a folding chair for children.
