  • Publication number: 20240058941
    Abstract: A telescopic rod device includes an outer tube including adjustment holes, an inner tube having a through hole, an actuator unit mounted inside the inner tube and has an actuating portion, and an adjustment control unit having a restraining member that has a restraining portion, a resilient member, and a lug connected with the resilient member and protruding from the through hole to engage with an adjustment hole. The resilient member biases the lug to extend out of the through hole and engage an adjustment hole, and when the actuator unit moves relative to the inner tube, the actuating portion of the actuator unit actuates movement of the restraining portion, and the restraining member acts on the resilient member so that the lug disengages the adjustment hole.

The support unit includes a pivot base, a main support rod and two auxiliary support rods connected to the pivot base. The sliding base is sleeved on the main support rod. The seat unit includes a seating subunit connected to the sliding base. The seat unit further includes a linkage subunit that includes a first linkage rod connected to the pivot base, a second linkage rod connected to the first linkage rod and the sliding base, and a resilient member between the pivot base and the first linkage rod. The seating subunit is convertible between a folded state and an expanded state. The resilient member biases the end of the first linkage rod distal from the pivot base away from the main support rod.

  • Publication number: 20240008605
    Abstract: A folding crutch chair includes a pivot base unit, a primary leg unit, at least two support leg units, a positioning unit and a seating unit. The leg units are mounted on the pivot base unit. The positioning unit is mounted on the primary leg unit, and has a mounting seat and a positioning member. The positioning member has a guiding slope surface. A seating member of the seating unit is shiftable between a collapsed position and a seated position. During the operation from the seated position to the collapsed position, the seating member is actuated to move the guiding slope surface to generate a retention force for keeping the seating member unmoved relative to the positioning member so as to facilitate the folding operation.

  • Publication number: 20240008606
    Abstract: A folding crutch chair includes a pivot base unit and at least three support leg units. The pivot base unit has at least three mounting slots angularly spaced apart from one another about an axial line, and at least three pairs of joint portions respectively formed in the mounting slots. Each support leg unit includes a pivot seat, an outer tubular piece, and an inner tubular piece extending telescopically relative to the outer tubular piece. The pivot seat has a pair of pivot portions respectively and pivotably connected with the joint portions such that each support leg unit is rotatable relative to the pivot base unit. The support leg units are shiftable between a folded state and an unfolded state. The length of the support leg units is reduced when folded so as to facilitate packaging, storage and carrying.

  • Patent number: 11700946
    Abstract: A foldable supporting device includes a linkage unit, a supporting unit and a converting unit. The supporting unit includes a main supporting member that has a first main supporting surface, and at least one auxiliary supporting member that has a first auxiliary supporting surface. The converting unit has at least one converting part that is drivable by movement of the linkage unit to convert the supporting unit between a folded state in which the first main supporting surface and the first auxiliary supporting surface cooperatively form a first angle, and an unfolded state in which the first main supporting surface and the first auxiliary supporting surface cooperatively form a second angle.

  • Patent number: 11432651
    Abstract: A folding mechanism includes a pivot seat unit and at least three support units disposed about an axial line and pivotally connected to the pivot seat unit. Each of the support units includes a support rod. Rotation of any one of the support rods of the support units relative to the pivot seat unit drives an adjacent one of the support rods to rotate, such that when any one of the support rods is rotated relative to the pivot seat unit, the other support rods are in turn driven to rotate relative to the pivot seat unit so as to convert the support units between a folded state and an unfolded state.
