Assembly Type Bar Stool Base and Bar Stool Comprising Same

The disclosure relates to the field of stools, in particular to an assembly type bar stool base and a bar stool comprising the same.

Stools are one type of seating furniture favored by people, and are widely used in places such as homes, offices, bars and the like, while bar stools are a stool type frequently used in bars.

The bar stool in the existing technology is mainly composed of a seat member, a lifting column for lifting the seat member, a pedal and stool legs. An upper end of the lifting column is connected to the seat member, and a lower end of the lifting column is connected to the stool legs, so as to realize the function of lifting the seat member and satisfy the requirements for different seat heights. The base of the most existing height-adjustable bar stools is a fixed structure that is not detachable, which results in not only massive packaging material consumption, but also as the current marine transportation cost stays high, the transportation cost increases due to the large packing volume.

To address the above-mentioned problem in the existing technology, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an assembly type bar stool base that can reduce the packing volume during packaging, thereby decreasing the cost of packaging, storage and transportation.

The present disclosure provides an assembly type bar stool base, which may include a connecting member and at least three leg components, the connecting member including a vertical joint and at least three transverse joints equal in number to the leg components, one end of each of the leg components being in detachable connection with a corresponding transverse joint of the connecting member.

In some embodiments, the detachable connection may be a screw connection.

In some embodiments, the assembly type bar stool base may further include a reinforcement frame, which is in detachable fixation with the leg components from outside the assembly type bar stool base.

In some embodiments, the detachable fixation may be a screw fixation.

In some embodiments, the assembly type bar stool base may further include a fixed cover plate, which is detachably covered over the connecting member, the fixed cover plate has vertical mounting hole aligned with and fixed to the vertical joint of the connecting member, and a plurality of transverse mounting recesses equal in number to the leg components, and each of the plurality of transverse mounting recesses snaps and fastens a corresponding leg component.

In some embodiments, each of the plurality of leg components is a tubular leg, which is a steel tube with a circular, rectangular or square cross-section.

In some embodiments, the number of the transverse joints of the connecting member is three, and the number of the leg components is also three.

In some embodiments, the number of the transverse joints of the connecting member is four, and the number of the leg components is also four.

In some embodiments, each of the leg components includes an upright section supported on floor, a horizontal section as the one end, and an inclined section connecting the upright section and the horizontal section.

In some embodiments, the reinforcement frame may be a tubular reinforcement frame, which may be in a circular ring shape.

The present disclosure also provides an assembly type bar stool, which may include: the assembly type bar stool base as described above; a lifting column with a lower end thereof fitted in the vertical joint of the connecting member of the assembly type bar stool base; and a seat mounted to an upper end of the lifting column.

The advantageous effect of the present disclosure is that, through detachable assembly of the leg components, connecting member, reinforcement frame and fixed cover plate, the packing volume of the assembly type bar stool base according to the present disclosure can be significantly reduced during packaging, thereby saving the packaging material and reducing the storage and transportation cost. When in use, the assembly type bar stool base is connected to the lifting column and the seat, such that a practical bar stool is formed.

The specific embodiments of the present disclosure are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein below are merely used to describe and explain the present disclosure only and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Note that in the description of the drawings, the identical reference numerals denote the same parts throughout the drawings, and redundant description will be omitted.

It should be understood that the terms “horizontal”, “transverse”, and the like, as used herein, refer to a direction parallel to the floor on which the bar stool is placed; and the terms “upright”, “vertical”, and the like refer to a direction perpendicular to the floor on which the bar stool is placed.

As shown in, the assembly type bar stool baseaccording to the present disclosure includes a connecting memberand at least three leg components, the connecting memberincludes a vertical joint, and at least three transverse jointsequal in number to the leg components, and one end of each of the leg componentsis in detachable connection with a corresponding transverse jointof the connecting member. The detachable connection may be a screw connection, for example.

Each of the leg componentsmay be a tubular leg, which may be a steel tube with a circular, rectangular or square cross-section. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the leg componentsare hollow steel tubes with a circular cross-section. However, it should be understood that the leg componentsmay be formed of any material or structure used to manufacture stool legs.

In some embodiments, the number of the transverse jointsof the connecting membermay be three, and the number of the leg componentsmay also be three. In some embodiments, the number of the transverse jointsof the connecting membermay be four, and the number of the leg componentsmay also be four. It should be understood that the number of transverse jointsand the number of leg componentsare not limited thereto and may be five or more. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the number of the leg componentsis four. In the following description, as an example, the number of the leg componentsis four.

As shown in, each of the leg componentsmay include, for example, an upright section supported on the floor, a horizontal section as the one end (the end that is in detachable connection with a corresponding transverse jointof the connecting member), and an inclined section connecting the upright section and the horizontal section.

With continued reference to, the connecting memberincludes one vertical jointand four transverse joints. The vertical jointis formed of, for example, a circular steel tube intended to be connected to the lifting column, which will be described later. The transverse jointis formed of, for example, a circular steel tube, and one end of the transverse jointis connected to a side wall (e.g., a wall of the circular steel tube) of the vertical joint. More specifically, the axes of the four transverse jointsare each formed on the same plane, and are formed to be perpendicular to the axis of the vertical joint. That is, the four transverse jointsare evenly radially arranged around the vertical joint.

The transverse jointis further provided with a screw hole, the one end of a leg componentis also provided with a screw hole, and an inner diameter of the leg component(at least the inner diameter of the one end) is greater than an outer diameter of the transverse joint. The detachable connection of the one end of the leg componentand the corresponding transverse jointof the connecting membercan be achieved in the following manner: the transverse jointis inserted into the leg componentsuch that the screw hole in the transverse jointis aligned with the screw hole in the one end of the leg component, and connection and fixation are achieved by means of a screw. That is, the detachable connection is a screw connection.

The assembly type bar stool basemay further include a reinforcement frame, which is in detachable fixation with the leg componentsfrom outside the assembly type bar stool base(as shown in). The detachable fixation may be, for example, a screw fixation. The reinforcement framemay be, for example, a tubular reinforcement frame. The tubular reinforcement frame may be a ring member made of a steel tube with a circular cross section. The ring member may be, for example, a circular ring or a polygonal ring. In a case where the ring member is a polygonal ring, the number of sides of the polygonal ring is equal to the number of the leg components. In a case where the number of the leg componentsis three, the reinforcement framemay have a triangular ring shape. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the number of the leg componentsis four, thus the ring member being a square ring is described herein as an example. It should be understood that the polygonal ring shape herein may also include a rounded shape at the corners.

In a case where the square-ring-shaped reinforcement frameis fixed to the leg components, the four corners of the square ring shape may contact the inclined sections of the respective leg components, and the four sides of the square ring shape may be each located between adjacent leg components.

The reinforcement framemay be detachably fixed to the leg components, for example, by screws. That is, the detachable fixation is a screw fixation. By means of the reinforcement frame, firm installation of the four leg componentscan be ensured without shaking or swinging in use, and meanwhile the reinforcement framecan also function as a pedal for the user to rest the feet.

In order to further enhance the stability of the assembly type bar stool base, the assembly type bar stool basemay further include a fixed cover plate, which is detachably covered over the connecting member. The fixed cover platemay have a vertical mounting holeand a plurality of transverse mounting recessesequal in number to the leg components(here four transverse mounting recesses). The vertical mounting holeis configured to be aligned with and fixed to the vertical jointof the connecting member. Each of the four transverse mounting recessesis configured to snap and fasten a corresponding leg componentand allow the corresponding leg componentto pass there through.

The fixed cover platehas a decorating function in addition to enhancing stability of the stool, so that the assembly type bar stool baseexhibits an aesthetic view.
