Seat frame for folding chair
View Patent ↗A seat frame for a folding chair includes a U-shaped front frame, a linear rear frame and a seat cushion. The front frame has a first support surface between an upper surface and a lower surface of the front frame, the first support surface having a contour the same as that of the front frame. The rear frame has a second support surface between an upper surface and a lower surface of the rear frame, the second support surface having a contour the same as that of the rear frame. The seat cushion is clamped between the first and second support surfaces in a horizontal position. The peripheral edges of the seat cushion are thereby in tight contact with the first and second support surfaces. Brackets are then used to connect the front frame and the rear frame that surround the seat cushion therein.
1. A seat frame for a folding chair, comprising:
a U-shaped front frame having a first support surface between an upper surface and a lower surface of the front frame, wherein the first support surface has a U-shaped contour the same as that of the front frame, and the first support surface is parallel with the upper surface and the lower surface of the front frame;
a linear rear frame having a second support surface between an upper surface and a lower surface of the rear frame, wherein the second support surface has a linear contour the same as that of the rear frame, and the second support surface is parallel with the upper surface and the lower surface of the rear frame; and
a seat cushion clamped between the first support surface and the second support surface in a horizontal position, wherein the front frame and the rear frame are assembled together for surrounding the seat cushion;
wherein the seat cushion has flat surface contact with the first and second support surfaces.
2. The seat frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lower surface of the front frame is extended and bent vertically upward and vertically inward to form the first support surface.
3. The seat frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first support surface has a round corner at each of two distal ends of the U-shaped front frame for facilitating insertion of the seat cushion.
4. The seat frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lower surface of the rear frame is extended and bent vertically upward and vertically inward to form the second support surface.
5. The seat frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the front frame and the rear frame are securely fixed by two L-shaped brackets.
