Abstract:
1. A retention structure for incorporating with an existing foldable furniture having two folding legs pivotally coupled via a pivot shaft, wherein said retention structure comprises: a left retention coupler which comprises a first tubular portion adapted for coupling with one of said folding legs, a first through hole provided transversely, and two left retention members protruding sidewardly; a right retention coupler which comprises a second tubular portion adapted for coupling with another folding leg, a second through hole provided transversely, and two right retention members protruding sidewardly; wherein said two left retention members are spacedly and integrally protruded at an outer circumferential edge of said left retention coupler toward said right retention coupler, wherein said two right retention members are spacedly and integrally protruded at an outer circumferential edge of said right retention coupler toward said left retention coupler, wherein said left and right retention couplers are coupled with each other at a position that said first and second through holes are coaxially aligned for said pivot shaft slidably passing therethrough to enable said folding legs being folded in a pivotally movable manner and to retain said left and right retention couplers in position, wherein said left and right retention couplers are driven to coaxially rotated until one of said left retention members is biased against one of said right retention members for retaining said foldable furniture at a folded position when said folding legs are pivotally moved to move said foldable furniture at said folded position, wherein said left and right retention couplers are driven to coaxially rotated at an opposite direction until another left retention member of said left retention members is biased against another right retention member of said right retention members for retaining said foldable furniture at an unfolded position when said folding legs are pivotally moved to move said foldable furniture at said unfolded position.
