  • Patent number: 6705143
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing loading plane border frame tubes for chairs utilizes continuous roll-forming processes to roll a base material to form loading plane border frame tubes for use on chairs. The processes include: transport a steel sheet to a roller leveler for flattening; then roll the steel sheet through a first roller calender, a second roller calender, a third roller calender, and a fourth roller calender to form a semi-finished tube; send the semi-finished tube to a high frequency generator for welding and soldering at high temperature; trim the semi-finished tube in a trimming machine; and roll the semi-finished tube through a fifth roller calender to form a finished tube of a selected shape for making border frames of loading planes of the chairs.

  • Publication number: 20030025361
    Abstract: A chair folding structure comprises two handles being divided into two pivotal sections for being assembled with two front and rear chair legs; each of the rear chair leg being firmly secured to a first and a second axial connecting portion; a first shaft being axially connected to the axial covers connected with two connecting rods and sliding covers movable along the rear leg; a third axial connecting portion is installed on the sliding covers adjacent to the axial connecting covers; a back frame being assembled between the two handles; the back frame having two lateral rods assembled to the third axial connecting portion and a first joint rod set connected to the lateral rods. A force is applied to the first joint rod set to drive the two lateral rods to push the third axial connecting portion. Thereby, the sliding cover moves along the rear leg. Meanwhile, by the front leg, the driven rod is rotatable to drive the front chair leg by pivotally connecting the second axial means to move toward the rear leg.
