Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 7. An embodiment of the utility model provides a chair with a woven structure, which comprises a chair seat and a chair surface. The chair surface comprises a woven structure and is fixed on the chair seat. The woven structure comprises a woven surface, a skeleton 2 and wrapping strips. The woven surface has an edge and is formed by a staggered arrangement of a plurality of woven strips 10, both ends of each woven strip 10 are provided with a first protrusion 101 and form edges; and the skeleton 2 and the wrapping strip can be disposed and clamped with the first protrusion 101 on the edges of the woven surface.

The woven structure in this embodiment includes both the skeleton and the wrapping strip, but the “skeleton and wrapping strips” in this utility model also encompasses the case where only the skeleton 2 is included or where only the wrapping strip is included.

In the woven structure provided in this utility model, the first protrusion 101 is provided at both ends of each woven strip 10, respectively and only located at the opposite sides of the edge (i.e. the left and right sides of the edge), and is closely arranged on each side with a more robust fitting with the skeleton. Thus, the function of connecting with the skeleton 2 or the wrapping strip can be realized. In other embodiments, it also can be provided that one end of each unknitted woven strip is provided with the first protrusion 101 with its adjacent woven strips arranged oppositely, so that the first protrusions 101 can be distributed uniformly on the two opposite sides or several sides of the edge, and the first protrusions on each side are regularly arranged at intervals; furthermore, the number of the first protrusions can be decreased to reduce workload. In other embodiments, it also can be provided the case that an end of part of the woven strips is provided with a first protrusion, that part of them is without the first protrusion, and that both ends of the part of them are provided with the first protrusion or any combination of the three cases, in which the woven strips are arranged in parallel with or crossing each other.

In a chair with the woven structure, the skeleton 2 is an essential part of the chair frame, and the skeleton 2 or the wrapping strip can be clamped and fixed with the first protrusions 101 of the woven strip 10 in sequence by sliding so as to realize the function of connecting the woven strip 10 with the skeleton 2 or the wrapping strip. Although the woven structure in the utility model is used in chairs, in other utility models, the woven structure can also be used in any other furniture such as tables, reclining chairs, etc.

The woven strip 10 in the utility model can be made of high-molecular materials, and the first protrusion 101 can be obtained by heat treating one or both ends of the woven strip 10. A shape of the first protrusion 101 in the utility model can be any shape as long as a radial distance of the first protrusion 101 is larger than that of the woven strip 10; preferably, a cross section of the first protrusion 101 can be any one or more of a T shape, a circle, a triangle, a T-like shape, a circle-like shape and a triangle-like shape. The woven structure made of high-molecular materials is unsusceptible to corrosion and resistant to wind and sunlight; in addition, the woven strip 10 can be made of high-molecular materials by an industrial manufacture, which can facilitate to maintain a consistency of the woven strip 10 in size and performance. However, in other embodiments, the woven strip 10 can also be made of canes, bamboos and other materials, and naturally generated lumps of the cane and bamboo can be provided at both ends of the woven strip 10 through a splicing process and can be made use by further modifying their shapes.

In this embodiment, the chair surface comprises a back surface 11, a seat surface 12 and a footrest surface 13, the seat surface 12 is respectively connected with the back surface 11 and the footrest surface 13; the back surface 11 is used for backing a user; the seat surface 12 is used for the user to sit on; and the footrest surface 13 is used for the user to rest foot. The back surface 11, the seat surface 12 and the footrest surface 13 are integrally provided. In other embodiments, the back surface 11, the seat surface 12 and the footrest surface 13 can be separately provided. The wrapping strips comprise linear 61 and arc-shaped 62 ones, among which the linear ones 61 are respectively provided on at the upper end of the back surface 11 and the lower end of the footrest surface 13; the arc-shaped ones 62 are provided at a connection between the seat surface 12 and the footrest surface 13 for wrapping a notch; and the shape of the wrapping strip is set according to that of the edge. In this embodiment, the skeleton 2 is provided on the left and right ends of the back surface 11, the seat surface 12 and the footrest surface 13, and the wrapping strip and the skeleton 2 are arranged adjacently for matching with the first protrusions on the left and right edges so that the skeleton can better match the shape of the first protrusions and provide a support effect.

Still further, as shown in FIG. 5, the linear wrapping strip comprises two rectangular pieces of strips, three ends (rims) of the two pieces of strips are connected and the unconnected end (rim) forms an opening 611 in which the upper side edge and the lower side edge are fixed; during an installation process, the upper side edge and the lower side edge can be fixed in the wrapping strip by sewing the opening after the edges are clamped in the opening. In other embodiments, it is also possible to adhere the edge to the opening. In this embodiment, the upper side edge and the lower side edge is without any first protrusion, and the first protrusions are located at the left and right side edges. In this embodiment, the skeleton 2 and the wrapping strip are arranged adjacently, and the wrapping strip has two ends each with a second protrusion 610 which can be disposed and clamped on the adjacently arranged skeleton 2 to enable the mutually fixing of the skeleton 2 with the adjacently arranged wrapping strip. However, in this embodiment, there are a plurality of wrapping strips which are arranged adjacently, each wrapping strip has two ends, both ends of the wrapping strip are provided with a second protrusions 610 which can be disposed and clamped in the opening of the adjacent wrapping strip, thereby better facilitating the sewing of the adjacent wrapping strip.

As shown in FIG. 6, the arc-shaped wrapping strip also has an opening 621, and the two ends of the arc-shaped wrapping strip also are provided with a second protrusion 620; the arc-shaped wrapping strip and the linear one function the same and are only different in shape to adapt to different edge structures.

In this embodiment, it is more convenient to wrap the edge of the woven strip with the wrapping strip where there is no first protrusion on the edge (the upper edge and the lower edge), but in other embodiments, the wrapping strip can also be used to wrapping the edge where there is the first protrusion on the edge.

In this embodiment, the skeleton 2 is provided with a groove 20 which is arranged to be fitted with the first protrusion 101 for fixing the woven strip 10 with the skeleton 2, and to be fitted with the second protrusion.
