ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a chair, and more particularly to a chair having a solid base.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical chairs having a base formed with one or more tubular members, comprise a seat plate directly secured on top of the base with fasteners. The tubular members of the base are bent and assembled together to form the base having four legs dependent downward therefrom. Normally, the base plate is made of wood materials and is directly secured on top of the base with screws. The wooden seat plate may be easily become loose relative to the base after use.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional chairs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a chair including a configuration for solidly securing the seat plate on the base.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a chair comprising a seat plate disposed on a base, four panels secured to the bottom of the seat plate, and means for securing the base to the panels and to secure the seat plate on the base.
The base includes a pair of bars having a middle portion secured together to form a cross-shape, the bars each has two apertures, the securing means includes four fasteners engaged through the apertures of the bars and engaged with the panels respectively for securing the seat plate on the base. The bars each includes two ends each having a leg dependent downward therefrom. The middle portions of the bars each includes a recess formed therein for receiving the middle portions of the respective bars and for maintaining the bars at the cross-shape. The middle portions of the bars each has a flat surface engaged with each other.
Four pads are engaged between the bars and the panels and each has a lateral opening for receiving the bar and for allowing the pads to be engaged onto the bars. The pads each includes an orifice formed therein, the base includes four apertures formed therein, the securing means includes four fasteners engaged through the apertures of the base and engaged through the orifices of the pads and engaged with the panels respectively for securing the seat plate on the base.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of a detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to accompanying drawings.
