  • the sliding elements 13 being movably mounted or sleeved on the front rack 1, and the two first linking elements 14 are pivoted between the sliding elements 13 and the rear rack 2 respectively.
  • the pair of driving arms 3 is pivotally and lockably connected with the front rack 1 by the two joints 12.
  • the two joints 12 each is composed with at least two halves capable of rotating relative to each other. Specifically, in one embodiment each of the driving arms 3 is connected to one of the half, and the upper end of the front rack 1 is connected to another half of the joint 12 thereby permitting the rotation between the driving arms 3 and the front rack 1.
  • the foldable chair frame 4 may have a seat base rack 41, a back-rest rack 42 and a pair of arm-rest struts 43.
  • the back-rest rack 42 is pivoted with the seat base rack 41, and the arm-rest struts 43 being pivoted with the pair of driving arms 3 by two pivotal mount 31.
  • the seat base rack 41 has two sides eccentrically pivoted to the two joints 12 respectively. Specifically, in one embodiment the two joints 12 has one half connected to the lower end of the driving arms 3 and formed with a side extension for pivoting with the seat base rack 41. By this connection, the seat base rack 41 can be driven by the rotation of the driving arms 3.
