ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a hammock assembly, more particularly to a hammock assembly with foldable left and right frames so as to facilitate transport and storage thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Referring to
FIG. 1
, a first conventional hammock assembly
1
is shown to include a support frame
11
having two transverse bases
112
and a longitudinally extending U-shaped sheet-support
111
fixed on the transverse bases
112
, and a bedding sheet
12
that is disposed above the support frame
11
and that has two opposing ends
122
fastened to top ends
113
of the sheet-support
111
via two sets of ropes
123
and rings
124
.
One disadvantage of the first conventional hammock assembly resides in that, although the bedding sheet
12
can be detached from the support frame
11
, the support frame
11
is difficult to transport and occupies a relatively large amount of storage space. Moreover, the support frame
11
cannot be detached into minor parts, and is hardly appreciated and liked by users.
Referring to
FIG. 2
, a second conventional hammock assembly
2
is shown to include a base support
21
and a bedding sheet
22
. The base support
21
includes two transverse parts
211
, two curved support rods
212
fastened on the transverse parts
211
, and two pairs of suspension rods
213
,
214
extending respectively and detachably from opposite ends of the curved support rods
212
. The bedding sheet
22
is disposed above the base support
21
, and has two opposite ends respectively and detachably fastened to the suspension rods
213
,
214
of the base support
21
via two sets of ropes
221
and hooks
215
.
Although the base support
21
of the aforesaid conventional hammock assembly
2
can be detached into minor parts so as to facilitate transport and storage, detachment of the base support
21
is both time-consuming and inconvenient.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a hammock assembly which includes pivotally connected left and right frames so as to eliminate the aforesaid disadvantages that are generally associated with the conventional hammock assemblies.
Accordingly, the hammock assembly of this invention includes: a left frame having a mounting end; a right frame having a mounting end and opposite to and pivoted to the left frame about a pivot such that the left and right frames are rotatable relative to each other between an unfolded position, in which, the mounting ends of the left and right frames are moved away from each other, and a folded position, in which, the mounting ends of the left and right frames are moved toward each other; and a bedding sheet disposed above the left and right frames, and having two opposite ends respectively connected to the mounting ends of the left and right frames such that the bedding sheet will be stretched when the left and right frames are disposed at the unfolded position and that the bedding sheet will be folded when the left and right frames are disposed at the folded position.
