BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a chair, and more particularly to an outdoor chair that keeps the back and seat of the outdoor chair from breaking.

[0003] 2. Description of Related Art

[0004] Outdoor chairs are often used in gardens, parks and at beaches for people to rest.

[0005] With reference to FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, a conventional outdoor chair comprises two leg assemblies (91), two connecting bars (92), two seat frames (93), a chair body (94) and two flexible rods (95).

[0006] The leg assemblies (91) are separated from each other and each leg assembly (91) has two feet.

[0007] The connecting bars (92) are connected between the leg assemblies (91).

[0008] The seat frames (93) are tubular and are attached respectively to the leg assemblies (91), and each seat frame (93) has an upper end, a lower end and a mounting slot. The mounting slot is defined longitudinally in the seat frame (93).

[0009] The chair body (94) is made of fabric, is mounted between the seat frames (93) to define a chair back and a chair seat and has an upper edge, a lower edge and two sides. Each side of the chair body (94) is folded and sewn to form a tube. The tubes are mounted respectively in the seat frames (93) through the mounting slots.

[0010] The flexible rods (95) are mounted respectively in the tubes on the chair body (94) to hold the tubes inside the mounting slots of the seat frames (92) so the chair body (94) is mounted tightly between the seat frames (93).

[0011] However, the upper edge of the chair body (94) presses into a person's neck and makes the person uncomfortable. Furthermore, sewn borders of the sides adjacent to the upper edge of the chair body (94) easily split to reduce the strength of outdoor chair and even break the outdoor chair when a heavy person sits on the outdoor chair so the person may get hurt.

[0012] To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides an outdoor chair to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The main objective of the invention is to provide an outdoor chair that is very safe and comfortable.

[0014] An outdoor chair in accordance with the present invention comprises a chair frame, two seat frames, a chair body and two flexible rods.

[0015] The seat frames are tubular and are mounted on the chair frame, and each seat frame has an upper bent end, a lower bent end and a mounting slot.

[0016] The chair body is made of fabric, is mounted between the seat frames and has an upper bent edge, a lower bent edge and two sides. The sides are folded and sewn to form tubes.

[0017] The flexible rods are mounted respectively in the tubes of the chair body to tightly mount the chair body between the seat frames.

[0018] Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
