A plurality of cylinders nested in sequence are disposed between the upper seat 11 and the lower seat 12, and the cylinders are provided with a plurality of locking mechanisms. The collapsible stool body 1 includes a cavity 13 and an upper cover 2 configured to cover and uncover the cavity 13 is mounted on the upper seat 11.

As shown in FIGS. 3-4, a rear end of the upper seat 11 is rotatably connected to a backup ring 3 disposed between the top of the upper seat 11 and the bottom of the upper cover 2. When the upper cover 2 is in a closed state, the upper seat 11, the backup ring 3 and the upper cover 2 are distributed sequentially from bottom to top.

As shown in FIG. 3, in order to facilitate opening the upper cover 2 and the backup ring 3, a rear end of the upper cover 2 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the upper seat 11. The rear end of the upper seat 11 includes a connection seat 111 with which a rear end of the backup ring 3 and the rear end of the upper cover 2 are both hinged.

As shown in FIG. 2, a front end of the upper cover 2 is connected to the upper seat 11 via a buckle such that the upper cover 2 can be stably fixed on the upper seat 11. Specifically, the front end of the upper cover 2 includes a buckle 21, a buckling block 112 mated with the buckle 21 is disposed at an outer side wall of a front end of the upper seat 11, and a lower end of the buckle 21 is configured to be coupled to a downwardly-opened groove (not shown) of the buckling block 112.

As shown in FIG. 3, to enable the top of the upper seat 11 to be in smooth connection with the backup ring 3, the upper seat 11 is annularly shaped. The upper seat 11 is in communication with the cavity 13, and the top of the upper seat 11 includes a plane in connection with the backup ring 3.

As shown in FIG. 5, locking hooks 8 are mounted to the upper seat 11, and locking rings 9 fitted with the locking hooks 8 are mounted to the lower seat 12. The numbers of the locking hooks 8 and the locking rings 9 are preferably three respectively. When the multifunctional collapsible stool is in a folded state, the locking hooks 8 are fitted into the locking rings 9 to maintain the folded state.

As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of springs 4 disposed inside the cavity 13 are mounted between the upper seat 11 and the lower seat 12. The number of the springs 4 is preferably three, and the three springs 4 are disposed at an edge of the cavity 13.

As shown in FIG. 3, a spring clip 5 is mounted to the bottom of the cover 2. The number of the spring clips 5 is preferably two. A garbage bag may be hung on the spring clip 5. The spring clip 5 is detachably mounted at the bottom of the cover 2, and therefore, the spring clip 5 may be dismounted if not utilized.

A strap 6 is wound on an outer side of the upper seat 11 of the collapsible stool body 1, and a handle 7 is disposed at the top of the upper seat 11 and the bottom of the lower seat 12, respectively, wherein each handle 7 includes a first component 701 and a second component 702.
