As shown in
In this embodiment, the first housing 21 is at least partially received in the second housing 22, and the second housing 22 has a horizontal bar joint 220 to be connected to the horizontal bar 10. It should be appreciated that, in other embodiments, it is also possible that the second housing 22 is partially received in the first housing 21, and the first housing 21 has a horizontal bar joint to be connected to the horizontal bar 10. The first housing 21 has a hollow cylindrical component 27, the second housing 22 has a deflection shaft 25 penetrating the hollow cylindrical component 27, the deflection shaft 25 is parallel to the horizontal bar 10, and the second housing 22 can pivot around the deflection shaft 25 relative to the first housing 21. Specifically, the deflection shaft 25 is a screw that runs through the hollow cylindrical component 27. It should be appreciated, in other embodiments, it is also possible that the second housing 22 is provided with a hollow cylindrical component and the first housing 21 is provided with a column penetrating through the hollow cylindrical component of the second housing 22, as long as the second housing 22 can pivot relative to the first housing 21.
An clastic member 26 is arranged between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. In this embodiment, the hollow cylindrical component 27 is arranged at one end of the first housing 21, and the clastic member 26 is arranged at an end of the first housing 21 away from the hollow cylindrical component 27. In a case where the elastic member 26 is compressed, the deflection shaft 25 rotates in the hollow cylindrical component 27 to drive the second housing 22 to pivot relative to the first housing 21, thereby realizing the deflection of the folding bracket 100. Since the second housing 22 can pivot relative to the first housing 21 and the clastic member 26 is arranged between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, the folding bracket 100 of can be deflected during use without overturning. In this way, the folding bracket 100 can be used as a bracket for a portable rocking chair or hammock, which improves the use comfort of portable furniture.
Preferably, as shown in
Preferably, an end of each first supporting component 23 connected to the first housing 21 is provided with a leg tooth portion 231 and the leg tooth portions of adjacent first supporting components 23 are engaged with each other. As a result, when one first supporting component 23 rotates relative to the base 20, adjacent first supporting components 23 can be driven to rotate simultaneously. An end of each second supporting component 24 connected to the second housing 22 is provided with an arm tooth portion 241 and the arm tooth portions 241 of adjacent second supporting components 24 are engaged with each other. As a result, when one second supporting component 24 rotates relative to the base 20, adjacent second supporting components 24 can be driven to rotate simultaneously. In this way, operations for unfolding or folding the folding bracket 100 are simplified. It should be appreciated, in other embodiments, the first supporting components or the second supporting components may be respectively pivoted to the bases in a non-linkage manner, and the first supporting components or the second supporting components may also be detachably connected to the bases. The deflectable folding bracket of the present invention can be folded as long as the first supporting components or the second supporting components are removed from the bases.
In this embodiment, the second supporting component 24 includes a front second supporting component 243 and a rear second supporting component 244, the rear second supporting component 244 is longer than the front second supporting component 243, the deflection shaft 25 is close to the front second supporting component 243, and the elastic member 26 is close to the rear second supporting component 244. The elastic member 26 is configured as a spring. A first limiting column 212 protruding toward the second housing 22 is arranged at a position on the first housing 21 connected to the elastic member 26. A second limiting column 222 protruding toward the first housing 21 is arranged at a position on the second housing 22 connected to the elastic member 26. In a case where the elastic member 26 is compressed, the first limiting post 212 and the second limiting post 222 push against each other to limit the deflection angle of the second housing 22 relative to the first housing 21. In this way, in a case where the folding bracket 100 is used in a rocking chair, the user can lean back without worrying about falling over.
