Abstract

The disclosure provides a telescopic structure, including a plurality of connecting pieces connected end to end; two adjacent connecting pieces are movable with respect to each other, and each of the plurality of connecting pieces includes a plurality of fixation mechanisms configured to keep the plurality of connecting pieces in an unfolded state. Also provided is a telescopic stool including a stool surface, a base, and the telescopic structure; the stool surface and the base are connected by the telescopic structure.

Claims (11)

1. A device, comprising: a plurality of connecting pieces connected end to end; wherein two adjacent connecting pieces are movable with respect to each other, and each of the plurality of connecting pieces comprises a plurality of fixation mechanisms configured to keep the plurality of connecting pieces in an extended state; wherein each of the fixation mechanisms comprises a third limiting structure configured to radially limit a respective connecting piece, and the third limiting structure comprises a third bump disposed on the respective connecting piece and a surrounding plate matched with the third bump on an adjacent one of the connecting pieces with respect to the respective connecting piece; wherein each of the plurality of connecting pieces comprises a first movement region configured to allow an adjacent one of the connecting pieces to move therein, and the first movement region is disposed between a first projection and a second projection formed on an inner wall of the respective connecting piece.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein each of the fixation mechanisms comprises a first limiting structure configured to axially limit the respective connecting piece.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the first limiting structure comprises a third projection disposed on the respective connecting piece and a first bump matched with the third projection on the adjacent one of the connecting pieces with respective to the respective connecting piece.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein each of the fixation mechanisms comprises a second limiting structure configured to circumferentially limit the respective connecting piece.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the second limiting structure comprises a first slope disposed on the third projection and a second slope disposed on the first bump, and the first slope is fitted with the second slope on the adjacent one of the connecting pieces.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the second limiting structure further comprises a first connecting portion disposed on the first bump and a second bump matched with the first connecting portion on the adjacent one of the connecting pieces.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein a limiting member that is of a trapezoidal structure is disposed on a sidewall of the respective connecting piece; a groove matched with the limiting member is disposed on the respective connecting piece; the groove is disposed on the inner wall of the respective connecting piece, and the limiting member is disposed longitudinally.

8. The device of claim 2 , wherein a second movement region is disposed above a third projection disposed on the respective connecting piece; the first movement region communicates with the second movement region, and a first bump is movable within the first movement region and the second movement region, so that the device is switchable between an extended state and a contracted state.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein a limiting member that is of a strip-shaped structure is disposed on a sidewall of the respective connecting piece; a fourth projection matched with the limiting member is disposed on the respective connecting piece; the fourth projection is disposed on the inner wall of the respective connecting piece, and the limiting member is disposed transversely.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein a second connecting portion and a third movement region for guiding the second connecting portion are disposed on the respective connecting piece; the second connecting portion is of an M-shaped structure; a width of the third movement region is greater than that of the second connecting portion; and, the second connecting portion is circumferentially movable within the third movement region, and has a width that is equal to a length of the third movement region in a circumferential direction of the respective connecting piece.

11. A telescopic stool, comprising a stool surface, a base, and the device of claim 1 connecting the stool surface and the base.
