Abstract

Disclosed is a foldable structure of highchair, the structure includes a slidable folding sleeve arranged at a rear leg and provided with a locking block; the locking block locks with a locking portion of a linking rod connected between the rear leg and seat so as to be in a fixed state for retaining expanded position of the structure. The folding sleeve is moved by users to disengage from the locking portion of the linking rod, so that the linking rod drives the rear, front leg and the seat to rotate relatively in order to draw close to one another to be in a folded state for achieving the goal of easy operation of the present invention.

Claims (17)

1. A foldable structure of highchair, comprising:

a foldable supporter, having a front leg, a rear leg and a pivoting base, wherein the pivoting base is pivotally connected to an upper part of the front and rear legs so that said front and rear legs are foldable toward each other;

a seat, having a seat portion and a backrest pivotally connected to each other, wherein the seat portion pivots about the front leg;

a back supporter is adjustably connected to the backrest and pivotally connected to the foldable supporter;

a linking rod, pivotally connected to the rear leg and connected to one side of the seat portion, interlocks the rear leg and the seat portion of the seat allowing said seat portion to rotate when said foldable supporter is folded or expanded, a locking portion is disposed at one end of the linking rod; and

a folding sleeve, slidably mounted on the rear leg, having a locking block, wherein the locking block is lockable to the locking portion of the linking rod so as to allow the structure to be locked in an expanded position; while folding the structure, the locking block disengages from the locking portion so as to allow the foldable supporter and the seat to be folded via interlocking of the linking rod.

2. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a transverse rod is connected between two sides of the front leg and one side of the seat portion pivotally rests on the transverse rod.

3. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a connecting base for receiving the tray is pivotally connected to said pivoting base.

4. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a folding rod is pivotally connected to the connecting base and the front leg so as to fold or collapse the tray by the folding rod.

5. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a backrest-adjusting device is disposed at the backrest.

6. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the back supporter pivots about the pivoting base of the foldable supporter in order to adjustably engage the backrest-adjusting device.

7. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the back supporter adjusts an angle of rotation via the backrest-adjusting device to control and support the inclination of the backrest.

8. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the locking portion is a notch.

9. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the notch is provided with a slope, which can push the locking block into the locking portion automatically.

10. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a flexible member retains the locking block automatically in a locked state with the locking portion.

11. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the folding sleeve is provided with an operator for holding in order to move the folding sleeve.

12. A foldable structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the back supporter pulls the backrest to approach the seat portion while folding the structure.
