Foldable chair

Abstract

Foldable chair comprising a seat ( 10 ) and at least three legs ( 11 ) attached to the seat ( 10 ). A leg holder ( 12 ) which is arranged spaced apart from the seat ( 10 ) is associated with each leg ( 11 ) and each leg holder ( 12 ) has a connecting element. The legs are received at a mounting ( 13 ) by means of the connecting elements so as to be movable relative to one another. The leg holders ( 12 ) have as the connecting element a formed-on part, said formed-on parts ( 12 a) being rotatably mounted between the legs ( 11 ) and thus a easy to produce, foldable chair is provided, which may take up high forces in the connecting means between the legs with minimal material wear.

1 . Foldable chair comprising
 a seat and at least three legs attached to the seat,   wherein a leg holder which is arranged spaced apart from the seat is associated with each leg,   wherein each leg holder has a connecting element, wherein the legs are received at a mounting by means of the connecting elements so as to be movable relative to one another,   wherein the leg holders have as the connecting element a formed-on part, said formed-on parts being rotatably mounted between the legs in the mounting made of moulded parts.   
     
     
         2 . Foldable chair according to  claim 1 , wherein the mounting is made of two moulded parts which, in the operational state, are joined together at a joint site and have recesses at the joint site for the formed-on parts of the leg holders. 
     
     
         3 . Foldable chair according to  claim 1  wherein the formed-on parts merge, via a post projecting from the leg holder, into a circular nipple which extends transversely to the post and beyond the diameter of the post, said nipple being mounted, in the operational state, in the recesses provided with an undercut. 
     
     
         4 . Foldable chair according to  claim 2 , wherein the recesses are formed circular and with play, and are complementary to the formed-on parts. 
     
     
         5 . Foldable chair according to  claim 2 , wherein, with the foldable chair standing upright, the two moulded parts joined together from above and below and connected with a central screw constitute the mounting. 
     
     
         6 . Foldable chair according to  claim 2 , wherein moulded parts are identically constructed and are preferably made hemispherical. 
     
     
         7 . Foldable chair according to  claim 1 , wherein the leg holders have openings for accommodating an upper leg part and a lower leg part which can be displaced relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the leg. 
     
     
         8 . Foldable chair according to  claim 7 , wherein a first of the leg parts comprising the upper leg part and the lower leg part is fixed at the leg holder and is hollow and the other leg part is accommodated axially displaceably within the first leg part. 
     
     
         9 . Foldable chair according to  claim 8 , wherein the upper leg part, as the first of the leg parts, is fixed onto the leg holder and that the lower leg part is movably mounted on the upper leg part and is fixable and adjustable by means of a detent pin locking arrangement.
