         5 . The foldable chair, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said first crossed leg and said crossed leg are constructed in arc shape, wherein an upper portion of said first crossed leg and a corresponding upper portion of said second crossed leg define an unfolding angle of said foldable frame in said unfolded condition in such a manner that said chair seat is resting on said upper portions of said first crossed leg and a corresponding upper portion of said second crossed leg at a position above said pivot point. 
     
     
         6 . The foldable chair, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said foldable frame further comprises a first support and a second support mounted to said two stand frames so as to enhance said stability of said foldable frame in said unfolded condition, wherein said first support comprises two first support arms connected to each other at a first crossed point, wherein said second support comprises two second support arms connected to each other at a second crossed point. 
     
     
         7 . The foldable chair, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said foldable frame further comprises a first support and a second support mounted to said two stand frames so as to enhance said stability of said foldable frame in said unfolded condition, wherein said first support comprises two first support arms connected to each other at a first crossed point, wherein said second support comprises two second support arms connected to each other at a second crossed point. 
     
     
         8 . The foldable chair, as recited in  claim 6 , further comprising two support stoppers mounting said two first support arms and said two second support arms respectively. 
     
     
         9 . The foldable chair, as recited in  claim 7 , further comprising two support stoppers mounting said two first support arms and said two second support arms respectively. 
     
     
         10 . The foldable chair, as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said two first support arms are connected to said two stand frames in such a manner that a lower end of each of said two first support arms is pivotally mounted to said lower portion of said first crossed leg and an upper end of each of said two first support arms is mounted to said upper portion of said second crossed leg, wherein said two second support arms are mounted to said two stand frames in such a manner that a lower end of each of said two second support arms is pivotally mounted to said lower portion of said second crossed leg and an upper end of each of said two second support arms is mounted to said upper portions of said first crossed leg. 
     
     
         11 . The foldable chair, as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said two first support arms are connected to said two stand frames in such a manner that a lower end of each of said two first support arms is pivotally mounted to said lower portion of said first crossed leg and an upper end of each of said two first support arms is mounted to said upper portion of said second crossed leg, wherein said two second support arms are mounted to said two stand frames in such a manner that a lower end of each of said two second support arms is pivotally mounted to said lower portion of said second crossed leg and an upper end of each of said two second support arms is mounted to said upper portions of said first crossed leg. 
     
     
         12 . The foldable chair, as recited in  claim 10 , wherein each of said two stand frames further comprises a mounting arm integrally and inclinedly extended from said upper portion of said second crossed leg g in such a manner that said mounting arm of said second crossed leg stands in an upright direction when said foldable chair is in said unfolded condition, wherein said foldable frame further comprises two armrest each extended between said mounting arm of said second crossed leg and said first crossed leg. 
     
     
         13 . The foldable chair, as recited in  claim 11 , wherein each of said two stand frames further comprises a mounting arm integrally and inclinedly extended from said upper portion of said second crossed leg in such a manner that said mounting arm of said second crossed leg stands in an upright direction when said foldable chair is in said unfolded condition, wherein said foldable frame further comprises two armrest each extended between said mounting arm of said second crossed leg and said first crossed leg.
