Folding Chair, Particularly Folding Child's Chair

Abstract

The present invention relates to a folding chair and particularly a folding child's high chair. The folding chair can be transitioned from an unfolded into a folded position, and comprises a seating surface ( 1 ) and a backrest ( 2 ), and a pair of first supports ( 3 ) supporting the seating surface ( 1 ) and the backrest ( 2 ), and a pair of two supports ( 4 ) connected by a hinge to the first supports ( 3 ). The seating surface ( 1 ) is rotatably disposed about a rotary axis ( 5 ) between the two first supports ( 3 ). The folding chair is characterized in that the backrest ( 2 ) is rotatably disposed about a rotary axis ( 6 ) between the two first supports ( 3 ) and can be displaced at a right angle to said axis ( 6 ), and the backrest ( 2 ) and the seating surface ( 1 ) are connected to each other by a connecting element ( 7 ) joined with a hinge to the seating surface ( 1 ) and the backrest ( 2 ), such that the backrest ( 2 ) and seating surface ( 1 ) are substantially at right angles to each other in a first unfolded position and are substantially parallel to each other and to the first supports ( 3 ) in a second, folded position.

1 . Folding chair that can be carried over from an opened into a folded position, with a seat and a backrest and a pair of first supports, which bear the seat and the backrest, and a second pair of supports that articulate on the first supports, whereby the seat is disposed between the two first supports such that said seat can swivel about a rotation axis, the folding chair comprising:
 the backrest is disposed such that it can swivel about a rotation axis running between the two first supports, and can move perpendicularly to this axis, and the backrest and the seat are connected to each other by a connection element that is hinged to the seat and the backrest such that the backrest and the seat are, in a first opened position, essentially perpendicular to each other and, in a second, folded position, are essentially parallel to each other and to the first supports.   
     
     
         2 . Folding chair in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the folding chair has a footrest. 
     
     
         3 . Folding chair in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the footrest is disposed between the two first supports, such that it can swivel about a rotation axis, and is connected to the connection element. 
     
     
         4 . Folding chair in accordance  claim 1 , wherein the first supports and the connection element have several releasable attachment points for the seat and/or the footrest. 
     
     
         5 . Folding chair in  claim 1 , wherein the connection element ( 7 ) can be connected to the second supports ( 4 ). 
     
     
         6 . Folding chair in accordance with  claim 5 , wherein the connection ( 12 ) between the connection element ( 7 ) and the second supports ( 4 ) is permanent and sliding, in order to enable a linked relative movement between the connection element ( 7 ) and the second supports ( 4 ). 
     
     
         7 . Folding chair in  claim 5 , wherein the connection ( 12 ) can be locked in the opened and/or the folded position. 
     
     
         8 . Folding chair in  claim 1 , wherein the first supports ( 3 ) have rollers ( 14 ) on their lower ends ( 13 ). 
     
     
         9 . Folding chair in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein the rollers ( 14 ) only project forwards beyond the ends ( 13 ) of the first supports ( 3 ).
