Abstract
A dual row outdoor leisure rocking chair. The chair includes two rocking chairs each having a main frame with two foot supports linked by a linking bar at the bottom side. The main frame hangs a swingable loading bracket thereon. The loading bracket has two bottom sides each engaged with a linkage rod. A top bracket is mounted at the top end of the main frame. The top bracket has a coupling section formed at one end thereof. The two rocking chairs are opposite to each other and swingable synchronously in a coupled fashion, and may be assembled easily.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a dual row outdoor leisure rocking chair and particularly a leisure rocking chair that is swingable synchronously and easy to assemble and has an attractive appearance.
A conventional dual row rocking hair (as shown in
FIG. 1
) generally has a frame which is made by soldering a plurality of supports. The frame has two sets of chair pivotally mounted thereon in two rows to attain swing effect for seating four persons.
As the frame and supports are fastened by soldering, the assembly process is tedious. Moreover soldering work always leaves untidy spots and results in not attractive overall appearance.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of aforesaid disadvantages, it is therefore an object of this invention to provide an improved dual row outdoor leisure rocking chair that is swingable synchronously and is easy to assemble and has an attractive appearance.
To attain aforesaid object, the rocking chair according to this invention has a main frame mounted on two foot supports which have respectively a bottom side connected by a linking bar. There is a swingable loading bracket hanging on the main frame. The loading bracket has two bottom sides each attached to a linkage rod. At the top end of the frame, there is a top bracket mounted thereon. The top bracket has a fastening lug. Applying similar structure set forth above, another rocking chair may be made including two foot supports, a loading bracket and a top bracket. Then the two sets of rocking chair may be mounted and opposite to each other to form a leisure rocking chair that is able to swing synchronously for outdoor use.
The invention, as well as its many advantages, may be further understood by the following detailed description and drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3
, the rocking chair
1
according to this invention includes a main frame
11
which has two foot supports
12
. The main frame
11
has two reinforced bars
13
and
14
bridged two sides thereof at an upper and a lower end respectively for increasing the strength of the main frame
11
. The bottom side of the two foot supports
12
are connected by a linking bar
15
. A loading bracket
2
is hung on the main frame
11
between the foot brackets
12
by an elastic element
21
. At two bottom sides of the loading bracket
2
, there is respectively a linkage rod
22
. The linkage rods
22
at two sides are bridged by a transverse stretcher
221
for increasing the strength of the linkage rods
22
. At the top end of the main frame
11
, there is a top bracket
3
located at one side. The top bracket
3
has a fastening lug
31
engaged with one end of the main frame
11
. The top bracket
3
has a transverse top stretcher
33
bridged two sides thereof. The transverse top stretcher
33
is fastened to the top bracket
3
through a fastening element
331
. The top bracket
3
further has a coupling section
32
formed at one end thereof. Applying similar construction set forth above, another set of rocking chair
1
′ may be built with another main frame
11
′ mounted on two foot supports
12
′, a loading bracket
2
′ and a top bracket
3
′. Then the two chairs
1
and
1
′ may be coupled to form a dual row outdoor leisure rocking chair of this invention. The chair
1
′ also has two reinforced bars
13
′ and
14
′ bridged the main frame
11
′ at two sides at the upper and lower ends thereof. The rocking chair thus built may be assembled easily and has attractive appealing.
Referring to
FIG. 4
, the linking bar
15
between the foot supports
12
and
12
′ may be fastened by soldering or riveting through a rivet
151
. The linkage rods
22
and
22
′ have respectively a coupling section
222
and
222
′ formed at one end thereof The coupling section
222
has an outside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of another coupling section
222
′ for the linkage rods
22
and
22
′ to engage with each other in a male and female coupling fashion. The coupled section is fastened by a fastener
223
.
Referring to
FIG. 5
, at one end of the top bracket
3
, there is a coupling section
32
which has an outside diameter smaller than the inside diameter of another coupling section of the top bracket
3
′ so that the top bracket
3
and
3
′ may engage with each other in a male and female coupling fashion. The coupled section is fastened by a fastener
321
.
Referring to
FIG. 6
, when the rocking chair of this invention is assembled, a chair pad
4
may be disposed respectively on the loading bracket
2
and
2
′. A waterproof canvas canopy
5
may be disposed on the top bracket
3
and
3
′ to shield sunshine or guard rainfall.
