- Taiwanese Application No. 101147797 filed on Dec. 17, 2012.
- the invention relates to a walking stick, more particularly to a foldable walking stick chair that is convertible between a walking stick and a chair.
- Taiwanese Utility Model Patent No. 277239 discloses a conventional foldable walking stick chair including a main stick, a leg unit and a seat unit.
- the main stick has a handle portion and a foot portion opposite to the handle portion.
- the leg unit is connected pivotally to the main stick at a pivot point to form a scissors-like structure, and has a support end and a connecting end opposite to the support end.
- the seat unit includes a slider member connected slidably to the main stick between the handle portion and the pivot point, and a seat plate connected pivotally to the slider member and the connecting end of the leg unit to form a slider-crank mechanism.
- the main stick and the leg unit form an angle
- the support end of the leg unit cooperates with the foot portion of the main stick for supporting the entire walking stick chair
- the seat plate is horizontal and forms an angle with the main stick.
- the abovementioned walking stick chair has several disadvantages:
- the support end of the leg unit is still proximate to the ground. If the ground is uneven, the support end may hit a projecting portion of the ground. Moreover, since the leg unit is X-shaped, a user may easily stumble on the leg unit when using the conventional walking stick chair as a walking stick.
- the center of gravity of the walking stick chair is distal from the handle portion, so that the walking stick chair is laborious for the user when being used as a walking stick.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a walking stick chair that is labor-saving and safe when serving as a walking stick.
- a walking stick chair of the present invention comprises:
- a seat unit including
- a support unit having a pivoted end portion that is connected pivotally to the rod body under the upper slider member of the seat unit, and a free end portion opposite to the pivoted end portion;
- a linking unit disposed between and connected pivotally to the support unit and the seat unit;

- the resilient member 33 is disposed in the groove 181 .
- the positioning unit 3 further includes a lower slider member 19 connected slidably to the rod body 10 and disposed between the middle slider member 32 and the foot portion 12 , and a connecting rod 191 disposed slidably in the groove 184 and interconnecting co-movably the lower and middle slider members 19 , 32 .
- the seat unit 2 further includes a pair of linkage sets 23 , each of which is disposed between and connected pivotally to the seat member 22 and the positioning unit 3 .
- each of the linkage sets 23 includes first, second and third bars 231 , 232 , 233 .
- the first bar 231 has one end connected pivotally to the seat member 22 , and another end connected pivotally to one end of the second bar 232
- the second bar 232 has another end connected pivotally to the middle slider member 32
- the third bar 233 has opposite ends connected pivotally and respectively to the second bar 232 and the upper slider member 21 .
- the support unit 4 includes a pair of support legs 41 , each of which has an upper leg component 43 and a lower leg component 44 .
- the upper leg component 43 has a pivoted end portion 433 connected pivotally to the middle slider member 32
- the lower leg component 44 has a free end portion 441 and an opposite end portion connected pivotally to an opposite end portion 434 of the upper leg component 43 oppositely of the pivoted end portion 433 .
- the support unit 4 further includes a pair of auxiliary linkages 42 , each of which has an end connected pivotally to the lower slider member 19 and an opposite end connected pivotally to a respective one of the lower leg components 44 .
- the linking unit 5 is disposed between and connected pivotally to the support unit 4 and the seat unit 2 .
- the linking unit 5 includes a pair of linking members 51 , each of which has an end serving as a driven portion connected pivotally to the upper slider member 21 and an opposite end 511 serving as a driving portion connected pivotally to the upper leg component 43 of a respective one of the support legs 4 .
- Each of the linking members 51 is connected to the respective upper leg component 43 at a pivot point between the corresponding pivoted end portion 433 and the corresponding lower leg component 44 .
- Each of the linking members 51 has a length larger than a distance between the pivot point and the pivoted end portion 433 of the respective upper leg component 43 .
- the seat member 22 is at an unfolded state where the seat member 22 and the rod body 10 form an angle and the main plate 221 and the lateral plates 222 form a flat plate, the middle slider member 32 abuts against the abutment member 31 , and the support legs 41 are at an unfolded state where the free end portions 441 are away from the rod body 10 of the main stick 1 and cooperate with the foot portion 12 of the main stick 1 for contacting ground (i.e., the walking stick chair is at an unfolded state, see FIGS. 1 and 2 ).
- the upper slider member 21 When the walking stick chair of this embodiment serves as a chair, the upper slider member 21 is at the second position and the through holes 211 of the upper slider member 21 engage respectively the lower projections 171 of the lower resilient bow member 17 .
- the button members 212 of the upper slider member 21 are pressed to disengage the lower projections 171 from the through holes 211 of the upper slider member 21 , so that the upper slider member 21 is allowed to move upwardly against the resilient member 24 .
- each third bar 233 is driven to move upwardly and drives a corresponding second bar 232 to pivot upwardly, the corresponding second bar 232 thus drives a corresponding first bar 231 to pivot downwardly relative thereto to therefore drive the seat member 22 to pivot downwardly and toward the rod body 10 to move to the folded state.
- the linkage sets 23 convert to a folded state
- the linking members 51 are driven by the upper slider member 21 to move upwardly to actuate the upper leg components 43 to pivot upwardly
- the auxiliary linkages 42 actuate the lower leg components 44 to pivot downwardly so that the support legs 41 convert to a folded state where the free end portions 441 are close to the rod body 10 (see FIG. 6 ).
- the upper slider member 21 can be further moved from the first position to an uppermost position (see FIGS. 7 to 10 ) and drives the seat member 22 , the linkage sets 23 , the middle slider member 32 , the support unit 4 , and the linking unit 5 to move upwardly therewith to thereby complete the conversion of this embodiment into a walking stick (i.e., the walking stick chair is at an folded state, see FIGS. 7 to 10 ).
- the center of gravity of the walking stick chair is relatively close to the handle portion 11 .
- the first preferred embodiment when the first preferred embodiment is at the folded state to serve as a walking stick, since the center of gravity thereof is close to the handle portion 11 , walking with such a walking stick is labor-saving for a user.
- the support legs 41 pivot upwardly when being folded, the free end portions 441 are close to the rod body 10 and away from the foot portion 12 when the support legs 41 are at the folded state. Therefore, the free end portions 441 would not hit a projecting portion of the ground, and the user would not stumble on the support legs 41 .

It should be noted that only one linking member 51 ′, one upper leg component 43 , one lower leg component 44 ′ and one sub-leg component 432 ′ are visible in FIG. 12 .
- each linking member 51 ′ is driven to move upwardly and drives a corresponding upper leg component 43 to pivot upwardly, simultaneously, the opposite end 512 ′ thereof drives a corresponding lower leg component 44 ′ to pivot downwardly to the folded state via a corresponding sub-leg component 432 ′.
