The disclosure relates to the field of leisure furniture, in particular to a foldable hanging basket.
As the pressure from life and work increases, people are yearning for a leisurely and comfortable home life. After hard work outside, people are more eager to go back to their safe and comfortable nest for a rest. In recent years, fashionable leisure hanging chairs are becoming popular in modern cities.
However, the existing structure of hanging chair usually comprises a base, a vertical pole and a hanging chair. Nevertheless, the base and vertical pole are usually designed as a fixed structure, resulting in a large volume and a high storage and transportation cost.
Therefore, for example, US patent publication of U.S. Ser. No. 10/631,647B1 discloses a foldable hanging chair, which comprises a frame, a base, at least one support rod and flexible connection members. The frame is foldably installed at a bottom of the frame. The support rod is foldably installed at one side of the frame. The flexible connection members connect the frame, the base, and the support rod together. In an unfolded state, both the support rod and the base are at a certain angle to the frame, and the frame, the base, the support rod, and the flexible connection members enclose an accommodation space. In a folded state, both the support rod and the base are close to one side of the frame. Although this structure may make the hanging basket folded, in its folding process, there is obstruction between the frames, and the frames may overlap, resulting in a relative limit to the folding volume and that it cannot be folded in one plane.
