BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a structure of an improved chair, particularly to
a structure of an improved chair by bending inward the asymmetric edge of the metal-plate
to form a fit-rim and then fit the fit-rim into the U-shape fixing slit of the edge-bar
having an extended part.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
[0002] People always pursuit better quality of life no matter how the history evolves. Referring
to the chair for supporting human body, providing work on seat and resting, the types
of chairs are fixed, rotatable, foldable, assembly-enabled, suspended, pneumatic chairs,
and so the forms of chairs are chairs with back, chairs with arm-rest, bowlegged chairs,
and chairs with curule legs. Still, there are many other ways of classification such
as usage, material, and manufacture technology.
[0003] The conventional chair5 with the metal-net frame, as shown in Fig 7(A) and Fig. 8(A),
wherein a metal-net frame 51 is formed by processing a metal material using a stamping
die on a press. And the metal-net frame 51 is welded on the chair 5 using the high-frequency
oscillation energy of ultrasonic, as shown in Fig. 7(B). Alternatively, the metal-net
frame 51 is fixed on the chair 5 by bending inward the asymmetric edge 52 of the metal-net
51 and then fixing asymmetric edge 52 on the chair 5 by welding on the inside of the
chair 5 frame with welding material 53, as shown in Fig. 8(B). But such a kind of
a welding method that use the high-frequency oscillation energy of ultrasonic to heat
locally the asymmetric edge 52 and the chair 5 at the same time, has the following
disadvantages: (1) In the welding process, the pernicious gases and smoke generated
in the operating environment increase as welding spots increase; (2) In the welding
process, the level of the physical and chemical reactions polluting the environment
increase as welding spots increase; (3) In order to increasing the beauty of the conventional
chair 5, the welding spots must be processed by the tools for grinding, milling, and
polishing; (4) Even the cut asymmetric edge 52 of the metal-net frame 51 is welded
and finished, as shown in Fig. 7(B), if the processes such as cutting, welding and
grinding are not operated properly and thus the asymmetric edge 52 remain have sharp
parts that may cause the user being slashed or other harmful factors.
[0004] Thus it can be seen that the above-described conventional articles still have many
drawbacks, are not well designed, and need to be improved urgently.
[0005] In view of above-described disadvantages derived from the conventional chair with
metal structure, the present inventor had devoted to improve and innovate, and, after
studying intensively for many years, developed successfully a structure of an improved
chair according to the present invention.
