[0058] The present application discloses a folding chair, wherein two waist-rest portions are provided, such that when the folding chair is unfolded, the waist-rest portions can fit a physiological curve of the waist of a human body so as to support the waist, thereby making the user feel more comfortable.

[0059] As shown in Figures 2 to 11, the folding chair includes a first backrest tube 101, on which a first through-hole bracket 111 is sleeved; a second backrest tube 102, on which a second through-hole bracket 112 is sleeved; a first connecting component connecting the first backrest tube 101 and the second backrest tube 102; a first intersecting tube connecting a first upper bracket 117 and the first backrest tube 101; a second intersecting tube connecting a second upper bracket 118 and the second backrest tube 102; a second connecting component connecting the first upper bracket 117 and the second upper bracket 118; and an oxford cloth covered on the first backrest tube 101, the second backrest tube 102 and the second connecting component. The folding chair further includes a first waist-rest portion and a second waist-rest portion which are symmetrically arranged and are located between the first backrest tube 101 and the second backrest tube 102 when the folding chair is unfolded so as to fit a waist curve.

[0060] When the folding chair is unfolded, the oxford cloth is completely spread, and the oxford cloth supported by the first backrest tube and the second backrest tube forms a backrest of the folding chair, and the oxford cloth supported by the first intersecting tube, the second intersecting tube and the second connecting component forms a chair seat of the folding chair.

[0061] The folding chair according to the embodiments of the present application is additionally provided with the first waist-rest portion and the second waist-rest portion, and these two waist-rest portions can fit the waist curve. In using, when the folding chair is unfolded, a protruding portion is formed on the oxford cloth under the action of the first waist-rest portion and the second waist-rest portion, and the protruding portion can properly support the waist of the user, so as to prevent the waist from concaving downward to a certain degree, thereby realizing the object of making the user feel more comfortable.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the first connecting component and the second connecting component can be rigid connecting components, such as a connecting tube. Two ends of the connecting tube are respectively fixed to the first backrest tube 101 and the second backrest tube 102, and at this time, the first backrest tube 101 and the second backrest tube 102 can not perform a folding action, and only the first intersecting tube and the second intersecting tube can perform the folding action. Furthermore, the first connecting component and the second connecting component can be components that can be unfolded and folded, such as connecting sheets with ends thereof being overlapped and articulated. Specifically, one of the connecting sheets is articulated to the first backrest tube 101, and the other connecting sheet is articulated to the second backrest tube 102. And, an elastic component having a clamping function is provided at articulated parts of the connecting sheets, and when it is required to fold the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet, the elastic component is pulled outward, then the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet can be folded.

[0063] The first intersecting tube and the second intersecting tube in the embodiments of the present application may have a structure similar to the intersecting tube in the background art, and the shape of the intersecting tube can be changed according to a specific application situation. For example, one of the intersecting tubes can be designed to have an arc-shaped structure for functioning as an armrest. Preferably, the embodiment of the present application adopts the structure in the background art, and specifically the first intersecting tube includes a first upper intersecting tube 105 and a first lower intersecting tube 106 which are articulated at middle parts thereof. A top end of the first upper intersecting tube 105 is articulated to the first through-hole bracket 111, a top end of the first lower intersecting tube 106 is provided with the first upper bracket 117, and a bottom end of the first lower intersecting tube 106 is articulated to the first backrest tube 101.

[0064] The second intersecting tube includes a second upper intersecting tube 107 and a second lower intersecting tube 108 which are articulated at middle parts thereof. A top end of the second upper intersecting tube 107 is articulated to the second through-hole bracket 112, a top end of the second lower intersecting tube 108 is provided with a second upper bracket 118, and a bottom end of the second lower intersecting tube 108 is articulated to the second backrest tube 102.

[0065] The bottom ends of the above intersecting tubes and backrest tubes can achieve connections between rod members by their own structure, or achieve connections between rod members by means of brackets. For example, the bottom end of the first lower intersecting tube 106 is articulated to the first backrest tube 101 via a first lower bracket 113, a bottom end of the first upper intersecting tube 105 is fixedly provided with a third lower bracket 115, a bottom end of the second lower intersecting tube 108 is articulated to the second backrest tube 102 via a second lower bracket 114, and a bottom end of the second upper intersecting tube 107 is fixedly provided with a fourth lower bracket 116.

[0066] When the first intersecting tube is connected to the second intersecting tube via the above brackets, the first connecting component includes a first upper connecting tube 103 and a first lower connecting tube 104 which are articulated at middle parts thereof. And, a top end of the first upper connecting tube 103 is articulated to the first through-hole bracket 111, a bottom end of the first upper connecting tube 103 is articulated to the second lower bracket 114, a top end of the first lower connecting tube 104 is articulated to the second through-hole bracket 112, and a bottom end of the first lower connecting tube 104 is articulated to the first lower bracket 113.

[0067] The second connecting component includes a second upper connecting tube 109 and a second lower connecting tube 110 which are articulated at middle parts thereof. And, a top end of the second upper connecting tube 109 is articulated to the first upper bracket 117, a bottom end of the second upper connecting tube 109 is articulated to the fourth lower bracket 116, a top end of the second lower connecting tube 110 is articulated to the second upper bracket 118, and a bottom end of the second lower connecting tube 110 is articulated to the third lower bracket 115.

[0068] The above brackets can have the same structure or different structures. Preferably, in the embodiment of the present application, the above brackets are made to have the same structure to improve universality of the brackets, such that when one of the brackets is broken, the broken bracket can be replaced at any moment. A main body of each of the brackets is provided with a mounting hole for accommodating the first backrest tube 101, and an articulating portion to be articulated with the tube members. Each bracket has two articulating portions, the two articulating portions are arranged at 90 degree angle to each another, and the articulating portion has a through hole for accommodating a rivet. Taking the first lower bracket 113 mounted at the bottom portion of the first backrest tube 101 as an example, the first backrest tube 101 is fixed in the mounting hole of the first lower bracket 113, the first lower intersecting tube 106 is articulated to a first articulating portion of the first lower bracket 113, and the first lower connecting tube 104 is articulated to a second articulating portion of the first lower bracket 113. Taking the fourth lower bracket 116 as an example, since it is not required to mount a backrest tube in the fourth lower bracket 116, the corresponding mounting hole is idle, a first articulating portion of the fourth lower bracket 116 is articulated to the bottom end of the second upper connecting tube 109, and a second articulating portion of the fourth lower bracket 116 is articulated to the bottom end of the second upper intersecting tube 107.

[0069] In the second connecting component having the above structure, the top end of the second upper connecting tube 109 is extended to form a first armrest portion, and the top end of the second lower connecting tube 110 is extended to form a second armrest portion.

[0070] In addition to the articulating portions to be articulated with the intersecting tubes, both of the first upper bracket 117 and the second upper bracket 118 further has a groove for supporting the second upper connecting tube or the second lower connecting tube accordingly.

Under the action of the arc-shaped protrusions on the first waist-rest tube 119 and the second waist-rest tube 120, a protruding portion is formed on the oxford cloth to properly support the waist of the user, so as to prevent the waist from concaving downward to a certain degree, thereby realizing the object of making the user feel more comfortable. During folding, the folding process can be achieved in only one step by pulling the second upper intersecting tube 107 and the second lower intersecting tube 108 inward.

[0081] In the above various embodiments, the first sliding block 121 and the second sliding block 122 each include a cylindrical portion and a U-shaped connecting member. The cylindrical portion is used to be sleeved on the corresponding rod member. The U-shaped connecting member is used to be articulated with the waist-rest tube.

[0082] The first waist-rest tube 119 and the second waist-rest tube 120 are arranged at different locations and are bent in different ways. When the first waist-rest tube 119 and the second waist-rest tube 120 are mounted on the first intersecting tube and the second intersecting tube respectively, the folding chair has a relatively smaller packaging volume.

[0083] In the folding chair as shown in Figures 12 to 16, the first waist-rest portion 123 includes a first woven strip and a first steel sheet, the first steel sheet is bent at a preset angle by the first woven strip, and the first waist-rest portion 123 is fixed to a part, corresponding to the backrest of the folding chair, of the oxford cloth. The second waist-rest portion 124 includes a second woven strip and a second steel sheet, the second steel sheet is bent at a preset angle by the second woven strip, and the second waist-rest portion 124 is fixed to a part, corresponding to the backrest of the folding chair, of the oxford cloth.

[0084] In using, the first backrest tube 101, the second backrest tube 102, the second upper connecting tube 109 and the second lower connecting tube 110 are moved outward so as to unfold the folding chair. Under the action of the first waist-rest tube 123 and the second waist-rest tube 124, a protruding portion is formed on the oxford cloth to properly support the waist of the user, so as to prevent the waist from concaving downward to a certain degree, thereby realizing the object of making the user feel more comfortable. During folding, the folding process can be achieved in only one step by pulling the second upper intersecting tube 107 and the second lower intersecting tube 108 inward.

[0085] In the folding chair as shown in Figures 17 to 21, the first waist-rest portion 123 is a steel sheet having a certain curvature, and is fixed to a part, corresponding to the backrest of the folding chair, of the oxford cloth; the second waist-rest portion 124 is a steel sheet having a certain curvature, and is fixed to a part, corresponding to the backrest of the folding chair, of the oxford cloth.

[0086] In using, the first backrest tube 101, the second backrest tube 102, the second upper connecting tube 109 and the second lower connecting tube 110 are moved outward so as to unfold the folding chair. Under the action of the first waist-rest tube 123 and the second waist-rest tube 124, a protruding portion is formed on the oxford cloth to properly support the waist of the user, so as to prevent the waist from concaving downward to a certain degree, thereby realizing the object of making the user feel more comfortable. During folding, the folding process can be achieved in only one step by pulling the second upper intersecting tube 107 and the second lower intersecting tube 108 inward.
