Abstract

A stretching device for a leisure chair includes a base. Stretching assemblies are symmetrically and pivotally connected to two sides of the base. The stretching assembly includes a seat plate mechanism. The front part of the seat plate mechanism is pivotally connected to a leg mechanism. The rear part of the seat plate mechanism is pivotally connected to a backrest mechanism. A drive mechanism is provided between the stretching assemblies. The drive mechanism includes a front drive rod and a rear drive rod. The front drive rod and the rear drive rod drive the stretching assemblies to unfold or fold by a reciprocating motion device. Two ends of the front drive rod are fixedly connected to the leg mechanism. Two ends of the rear drive rod are pivotally connected to a first drive member. The middle part of the first drive member is pivotally connected to a second drive member.

Claims (45)
