DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the chair frame 1 includes two leg frames 11 for combining a chair seat 3 and two assembly posts 12 extending from a back side of the leg frames 11 for combining with a chair back 3. An inner side of an upper rod body 111 of each leg frame 11 is installed with a supporting sheet 112 capable of being inserted into the seat 2. An inner side of each assembly post 12 is installed with an assembly sheet 121 for engaging to the chair back 3.
A rear transversal supporting rod 13 is installed at a back side between the two leg frames 11 of the chair frame 1. A front edge of the transversal supporting rod 13 is installed with at least one supporting sheets 131 which can be inserted into the chair seat 2. A front transversal supporting rod 14 is installed at a front side between the two chair frames 11. The front transversal supporting rod 14 is at a lower position from an upper end of each chair frame 11 for enhancing the structure of the leg frames 13 and for retaining the buckling sheets 22 at a front inner lower edge of the chair seat 2.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 to 7, each of two lateral side of the chair back 3 has an insertion hole 31 for receiving one of the two assembly posts 12 and a buckling sleeve 4. A lower opening of the insertion hole 31 is formed with a buckling groove 321 for buckling and positioning the buckling sleeve 4. The buckling sleeve 4 is a hollow sleeve with an opening at one end thereof. A top end 40 of the buckling sleeve 4 opposite to the opening thereof is enhanced. In assembly, the assembly post 12 is inserted into the hollow portion of the buckling sleeve 4 and then the buckling sleeve 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 31 of the chair back 3. After assembly, the top end 40 of the buckling sleeve 4 is between a top end of the assembly post 12 and a top wall of the insertion hole 31 so as to suffer forces from the assembly post 12 toward the top wall of the insertion hole 31 effectively.
Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, it is illustrated that an extending sleeve portion 41 extends from and integrally formed to a lower end of the buckling sleeve 4 for receiving the assembly sheet 121 of the assembly post 12. An outer side of the assembly sheet 121 is installed with a buckling block 42 for buckling to a buckling groove 321 of a receiving groove 32 of the chair back 3. As for separating the chair back 3 from the chair frames 11, the chair back 3 is forced to cause the buckling block 43 of the buckling sleeve 4 to separate from the buckling groove 321 so that the chair back 3 is separated from the assembly post 12 of the chair frame 1. In detaching, a hand tool is inserted into a gap between the extending sleeve portion 41 of the buckling sleeve 4 and the receiving groove 32 of the chair back 3. With reference to FIGS. 8 to 16, each of two upper lateral sides of the chair seat 2 is formed with a concave space 20 for installing the upper rod body 111 of each leg frame 11. A left and a right end of a rear side of the chair seat 2 are formed with respective concave spaces 20 for installing the transversal supporting rod 13 at a back side of the chair frame 1. Each of the concave space at the upper lateral sides of the chair seat 2 is formed with an inserting groove 21 (as illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15). The concave spaces 20 at the rear side of the chair seat 2 are formed with respective insertion recesses 22 for locating the supporting sheets 131 of the transversal supporting rod (as illustrated in FIG. 16). A left and a right end of a front edge of a bottom side of the chair seat 2 are formed with respective buckling sheets 23 for retaining the chair seat 2 to the front transversal supporting rod 14 of the chair frame 1 (as illustrated in FIG. 17) so as to achieve the object that the chair seat 2 and the chair frame 1 are retained firmly in all aspects.
Advantages of the present invention are that the chair of the present invention has no any fixing elements, while the chair has a concrete structure with less components and lowest cost. The assembly of the chair is rapid and thus is economic.
The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways.
