The mirror surface is used below to define “inside” and “outside”. Taking the connecting plate as an example, a side of the connecting plate that faces to the mirror surface is defined as “inside”, and a side of the connecting plate away from the mirror surface is defined as “outside”. For other components, the definition of “inside” and “outside” is the same as that of the connecting plate, and details are not described herein again.
Specific embodiments are described by taking a collapsible moon chair as an example. The moon chair looks like a sunken semi-spherical shape, like the moon, so it is called the moon chair.
Since the first front leg tube 1 and the second front leg tube 2 are connected at the hinge position, the connection between the first front leg tube 1 and the second front leg tube 2 has a rotatable point, the rotatable point may slide in the slide groove 7 of the connecting plate 4, when the rotatable point slides to a last end of the connecting plate 4, the collapsible chair is opened, the pin shaft is stuck in the first limiting groove 8 to ensure the opening state, when the second front leg tube 2 is rotated backward, the pin shaft is moved upward which may be detached from the first limiting groove 8, the rotatable point may slide in the slide groove 7 of the connecting plate 4, and the collapsible chair is folded until the first front leg tube 1, the second front leg tube 2, the rear leg tube 3, and the connecting plate 4 are completely folded in one plane, thus the folding of the collapsible chair is achieved, at this time, the pin shaft is stuck in the second limiting groove 9 to ensure the folding state. The hinged first front leg tube 1 and second front leg tube 2 are folded inward, thus the folding is achieved. Each front leg tube is completely under a seat level after folding, and a length of the collapsible chair is shorter, and an overlap is completed in one plane, the folding thickness thereof is small and the volume after being folded is reduced.
Moreover, when the collapsible chair needs to be folded, only stepping on the rear leg tube 3 by a foot and lifting the seat frame tube 5 with one hand, the collapsible chair is slowly folded, which is very convenient to use.
