Abstract

A type of improved folding chair includes brackets and seat fabric. Brackets on the four facades are each composed of intersecting diagonal bars. Right and left facades consist of intersecting long bars and medium-sized bars with the upper curved portion of the long bars providing support for the backrest. A fabric seat for the chair comprises an attached cushion, a backrest and side bags where the side bags form a triangular shape, which is sewn onto both the adjacent sides of the cushion and the backrest. When the chair is opened, the tightened side bags form a third structure allowing for an arm rest.
