Sidekick stool

A sidekick stool is provided, including a frame body, including at least two support portions which are spacingly arranged; a seat body, being disposed on the at least two support portions; and a rail assembly, fixed to the seat body for a receiving unit to slide therein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a sidekick stool.

Description of the Prior Art

During a decoration process (for example, fixing a car or decorating a house), a worker often has to bend down or squat down to work when being in a relatively lower space, and s/he might have lower back pain after working for a long time. In addition, tools and components are usually scattered on the ground or put in the pockets, so it is inconvenient to get the tools or components.

Nowadays, sidekick stools are provided to solve the inconvenience during the working process. In the convention sidekick stool, a stool body has a receiving plate which is open, so the number, type and size of the components and tools which can be stored are limited, and the components and tools in the receiving plate are exposed outside for a long time and are prone to be contaminated by foreign matters or dirt.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The major object of the present invention is to provide a sidekick stool which provides a receiving unit which can be pulled out freely and store objects, and the objects stored in the receiving unit can be prevented from exposed outside. In addition, the sidekick stool can distribute force evenly to achieve a stable support effect, and the sidekick stool has a long service life.

To achieve the above and other objects, a sidekick stool is provided, including a frame body which includes at least two support portions which are spacingly arranged; a seat body which is disposed on the at least two support portions; and a rail assembly which is fixed to the seat body for a receiving unit to slide therein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The sidekick stool1further includes a positioning member70, the receiving unit40is slidably arranged on the rail assembly30on a sliding direction L2, and the positioning member70is movable to be on a first position (as shown inFIG. 6) or a second position (as shown inFIG. 7) along a direction lateral to the sliding direction L2; wherein when the positioning member70is on the first position, the positioning member70and the receiving unit40are engaged with each other on the sliding direction L2; when the positioning member70is on the second position, the positioning member70and the receiving unit40are non-interferable with each other; therefore, the positioning member70can either restrict and block the receiving unit40from sliding out or lift the restriction and pull the receiving unit40out. In this embodiment, each said rail unit31further includes a connection hole311which is communicable with the sliding slot312, and the positioning member70is disposed through the connection hole311to support the rail unit31. Specifically, the restricting protrusion421has a concave portion422, and the positioning member70is detachably inserted within the concave portion422.

The sidekick stool1includes at least one dodging space14, the seat body20and at least one said support portion11define the dodging space14therebetween, the at least one dodging space14is open toward an outside, at least one part of the at least one said support portion11is exposed outside the at least one dodging space14. The at least one outer side of the seat body20has a recess21, the recess21and at least one said support portion11define the dodging space14therebetween, and the dodging space14is open toward the sliding direction L2and the first direction L1. In this embodiment, two opposite outer sides of the seat body20has two said recesses21for a user to put his/her hand into the recess21to grip thereon; in addition, each said dodging space14allows a hook of a storage box2to detachably pass therethrough and hook on one said support portion11.

The frame body10further includes a support vertical portion15, the support vertical portion15is connected to and between the first carrying portion12and the second carrying portion13, the support vertical portion15includes two support rods151which are spacingly arranged and at least one lateral rod152which is laterally connected to the support rod151, each said support rod151is C-shaped, each said support rod151includes an upper tilted section153which is close to the seat body20and a lower prop section154which is close to the second carrying portion13, the plurality of lateral rods152are respectively connected to and between the upper tilted sections153and the two lower prop sections154of the two support rods151, and the at least one lateral rod152is exposed outside the seat body20to stably support a weight and hang at least one receiving box3on each said lateral rod152. In this embodiment, the support vertical portion15includes the plurality of lateral rods152which are spacingly arranged.

The seat body20is detachably arranged on the at least two support portions11. In this embodiment, the seat body20includes a pad body22and a carrying body23, the pad body22may be made of a buffering material, a soft material or a flexible material, the carrying body23is disposed between the pad body22and the at least two support portions11, and the pad body22is detachably disposed on the carrying body23. Preferably, the pad body22has a bottom portion221, the carrying body23has a top portion231facing the bottom portion221, the bottom portion221has a first engaging portion222, the top portion231has a second engaging portion232, and the first engaging portion222and the second engaging portion232are in a male-female connection; specifically, the first engaging portion222includes a plurality of slots223, each said slot223extends from the bottom portion221to the top portion231, the second engaging portion232includes a plurality of protrusions233, each said protrusion233is detachably inserted within one of the plurality of slots233to prevent the pad body22from sliding and provide a preferable buffering effect, and the plurality of slots223can be in different shapes and sizes, so the pad body22can be quickly assembled or disassembled to put on any place, such as a ground, for a knee to bias thereon, but not limited thereto.

A bottom portion of the receiving unit40further has an anti-slip structure43, and the anti-slip structure43is made of silicon resin to prevent objects stored therein from sliding. In addition, the storage box2, the receiving box3and the storage unit60may have the anti-slip structure, and different tools, components or objects can be stored based on different structures of the storage box2, the receiving box3and the storage unit60.
