Folding rocking chair

Abstract

A folding rocking chair includes a curved band, left front rod, right front rod, left rear rod, right rear rod, frame rod, left handrail rod, right handrail rod, left front handrail support rod, right front handrail support rod, left rear handrail support rod, right rear handrail support rod, back rest rod, left frame connecting element, right frame connecting element, left engaging element, right engaging element, frame support portion and back rest support portion. Owing to the left frame connecting element, right frame connecting element, left engaging element and right engaging element, all the rods can pivotally bend relative to each other to allow the folding rocking chair to change from an unfolded state to a folded state. Therefore, the folding rocking chair takes up little space and is easy to transport and store.
