Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to an adjustable hanging chair, and more particularly to a hanging chair of which the angle can be adjusted and thus which can be easily folded.
2. Description of the Related Art
A hanging chair is a kind of chair which can help the user to release the pressure on the user and make the user feel very comfortable. In the conception, it provides a function of hang through a hanging component such as a hanging string, a hanging chain or a hanging pole and so on, thereby hanging on the holder so that a chair providing the user to sit is hung in the air. Such design makes the chair supply a feeling of suspension to the user, and further supply a moving feeling of swinging in the air to the user sitting on the chair through cooperating with the swing mechanism or with the relative swing action. The hanging chair provides a feeling of fun other than comfort, so it is commonly applied in various types of indoor and outdoor occasions.
However, the structure of the hanging chair in present technique generally provides a function of sitting only because of its design, without the function of adjusting the back of the chair and the angle of the pedal. Thus, the conventional type of chairs could not be adjusted based on different body shapes and the back lying angle of the users. If the user sits on the chair which is not suitable for his body shape, the comfortability supplied by the chair is extremely limited. In addition, the structure of this type of chair is fixed by the framework and can not be folded. Therefore, if the chair is not in use, it occupies huge space for the user and thus further generating the troubles like uneasy storage and large space occupation. So its insufficiencies are obvious. Based on the aforementioned drawbacks, the inventor of the present invention considers and designs an adjustable hanging chair to reform the shortcomings in prior art thus increasing the implemental utilization in the manufacturing.

In addition, a pillow is disposed on the front rest frame; and at least a connection rod, a first end of the connection rod being correspondingly and pivotally connected to the front rest frame, and a second end of the connection rod being correspondingly and pivotally connected to the backrest frame to make the front rest frame corresponding to the pivoting action of the cushion frame interact with the pivoting action of the backrest frame corresponding to the cushion frame.
The upper end of the front rest frame is further extended as an extension rod, and the first end of the connection rod is correspondingly and pivotally coupled to a side of the extension rod of the front rest frame, and the second end of the connection rod is correspondingly coupled to a corresponding side of the cushion frame.
An extension frame is disposed from the inner end of the backrest frame to extend downwards, and wherein the first end of the connection rod is pivotally disposed corresponding to the middle section of a side of the front rest frame, and the second end of the connection rod is correspondingly and pivotally coupled to the corresponding side of the extension frame.
The present invention further comprises a multi-sectional adjustable hinge, which is correspondingly and pivotally coupled to the pivotal connection of the cushion frame and the backrest frame to provide the backrest frame to perform multi-angle pivoting turns and a multi-angle positioning corresponding to the cushion frame.
The multi-sectional adjustable hinge can be correspondingly and pivotally coupled to the pivotal connection of the cushion frame and the front rest frame to provide the backrest frame to perform multi-angle pivoting turns and a multi-angle positioning corresponding to the cushion frame.
The multi-sectional adjustable hinge can be correspondingly and pivotally coupled to the pivotal connection of the connection rod and the backrest frame to provide the backrest frame to perform multi-angle pivoting turns and a multi-angle positioning corresponding to the cushion frame.
The multi-sectional adjustable hinge can be correspondingly and pivotally coupled to the pivotal connection of the connection rod and the front rest frame.
The multi-sectional adjustable hinge can be replaced by a pneumatic rod assembly. The pneumatic rod assembly is a dynamic component by using a pneumatic pump to extend and to contract. The pneumatic rod assembly includes a fixed end and a telescopic end. The fixed end is correspondingly and firmly disposed on the cushion frame, and the telescopic end connects to the backrest frame or the front rest frame.
The suspension bracket can be a long rod which can be twisted as forming. The suspension bracket has two fixing ends, and the two ends are respectively correspondingly fixed and disposed to the connection frame, and the suspension bracket has a hook hanging portion at an extension end. The pivotal angle of the cushion frame corresponding to the backrest frame is within a range of 0 to 90 degrees. And the cushion frame is a frame shaped as a rectangle; and the backrest frame is a frame shaped as a rectangle; and the front rest frame is a frame shaped as a rectangle.
In design, the adjustable hanging chair of the present invention not only provides a function the hanging chair has for the user, but also lets the user directly adjust the inclined angle of the back rest frame according to the body shape or desired sitting suitability. And when adjusting the inclined angle of the backrest frame, the front rest frame is simultaneously acting as well. Thus, while the back of the user moves backwards, his legs can lie on the front rest frame. The user can further perform a pivoting action of folding toward the connection rod corresponding to the backrest frame, further interactively folding the front rest frame and the cushion frame corresponding to the back rest frame to reduce the occupied space of the present invention and be easier to store.
