The Y-shaped hanger rod 23 includes a hanger rod mount 231 and two support arms 232 respectively assembled with two ends of the hanger rod mount 231 opposite to each other; the Y-shaped hanger rod 23 can be designed in a three-dimensional pattern with an animal shape according to requirements; for example, in one embodiment, the Y-shaped hanger rod 23 is an owl shaped pattern, the hanger rod mount 231 is the head and body of the owl, and the two support arms 232 are wings of the owl, but this is not limited.


With reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, each of the plurality of bounce assemblies 30 includes a first webbing 31, a second webbing 32 and a telescopic unit 33, wherein the first webbing 31 is provided at one end of the telescopic unit 33, and the second webbing 32 is provided at the other end of the telescopic unit 33. The telescopic unit 33 includes a housing 331, two sliding rails 332 correspondingly provided on a side wall of the housing 331 in a recessed manner, and an extension spring 333 accommodated in the housing 331. The first webbing 31 extends through one end of the housing 331 and is assembled with a fixed post 334 to be limited inside the housing 331, and the second webbing 32 extends through the other end of the housing 331 to be limited at one end of the extension spring 333 near the fixed post 334. The second webbing 32 is provided with a guide post 335 at the end of the extension spring 333 near the fixed post 334, wherein the guide post 335 is limited by the two sliding rails 332, and the guide post 335 moves reciprocally along an axial direction of the housing 331 to compress or extend the extension spring 333. Thus, the first webbing 31 is located between one of the two support arms 232 corresponded and the telescopic unit 33. Furthermore, the second webbing 32 is provided with a snap-fitting 321 at one end opposite to the other end assembled with the telescopic unit 33.


The table and chair assembly 40 includes a seat 41 and a table top 42 assembled on the periphery of the seat 41, and the table top 42 is provided with a plurality of table and chair connectors 43.


Herein, with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5B, the second webbing 32 is assembled with one end of one of the plurality of table and chair connectors 43 by the snap-fitting 321, and the second webbing 32 is located between one of the plurality of table and chair connectors 43 corresponded and the telescopic unit 33. In this embodiment, the snap-fitting 321 and the corresponding table and chair connectors 43 are a pair of male and female fastener structures, and the snap-fitting 321 is snap-fitted to the corresponding table and chair connector 43. The second locator 212 is engaged with one of the plurality of locating holes 221 provided on the extension rods 22.


With reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when the improved structure for the children bounce chair is used, the plurality of pipe bodies 121 of the two stabilizing rods 12 of the base assembly 10 are combined, two ends of each of the two stabilizing rods 12 are respectively arranged at one of the two second engaging parts 112 of the two connection bases 11, and two support rods 21 of the two telescopic support assemblies 20 are respectively arranged at two first engaging parts 111; and two first locators 211 of the two support rods 21 are respectively engaged with fixing holes 113 of the two first engaging parts 111. Then, two extension rods 22 are respectively assembled on the two support rods 21, and two second locators 212 are respectively engaged with one of the plurality of locating holes 221 of the two extension rods 22 according to requirements, so that support arms 232 can be suspended by the table and chair assembly 40 assemble with the plurality of bounce assemblies 30. During storage, the base assembly 10, the two telescopic support assemblies 20, the plurality of bounce assemblies 30 and the table and chair assembly 40 can be mostly disassembled or partially disassembled in sequence for storage according to requirements without occupying too much space. Therefore, the improved structure for the children bounce chair has the convenience of assembly and storage.


With reference to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, when using the improved structure for the child bouncing chair, children usually adopt a semi-sitting posture in the seat 41 of the table and chair assembly 40. Therefore, when a child is seated on the seat 41, the seat 41 is forced downward so that the plurality of table and chair connectors 43 of the table top 42 pull the second webbings 32. With reference to FIG. 5A, the second webbings 32 pull the guide posts 335 in the sliding rails 332 to compress the extension springs 333 along the axial directions of the housings 331, respectively, so that the guide posts 335 of the two extension springs 333 move in an direction towards the table and chair assembly 40 along the sliding rails 332. With reference to FIG. 5B, after the extension springs 333 are compressed by the guide posts 335, respectively, each of the extension springs 333 generates an elastic return restoring force, so that the extension springs 333 move in a direction toward the two support arms 232 again. Therefore, the extension springs 333 pull the second webbing 32, respectively, so that the table and chair assembly 40 will generally generate an up and down bouncing posture. The extension springs 333 are received in the housings 331 to prevent the children's fingers from being clamped by two extension springs 333, thereby increasing a safety in use.


In view of the above, according to the improved structure for the children bounce chair of the present invention, the base assembly 10 is provided with the two stabilizing rod 12 by the two connection bases 11, and then is sequentially provided with the two support rods 21, the two extension rods 22, the two Y-shaped hanger rods 23 and the plurality of bounce assemblies 30 of the two telescopic support assemblies 20. The plurality of table and chair connectors 43 of the table and chair assembly 40 are respectively fastened to one of the second webbings 32 corresponded, and the two extension rods 22 are adjusted according to a height required by the child, so that the seat 41 and the table top 42 of the table and chair assembly 40 meet the height required, whereby the improved structure for the children bounce chair only needs to sequentially disassemble the base assembly 10, the two telescopic support assemblies 20, the plurality of bounce assemblies 30 and the table and chair assembly 40 to reduce storage space required, and then sequentially assemble the base assembly 10, the two telescopic support assemblies 20, the plurality of bounce assemblies 30 and the table and chair assembly 40 when in use, so that the convenience of use can be improved. Furthermore, the telescopic unit 33 of each of the plurality of bounce assemblies 30 is provided with the housing 331 for accommodating the extension spring 333, and the housing 331 is provided with the two sliding rails 332 for guiding the guide posts 335 assembled by the second webbing 32 to reciprocate in the axial direction of the housing 331, increasing the safety in use thereof
