Claim:
A foldable chair having an armrest retracting structure, comprising: a front leg frame and a rear leg frame pivotally connected with each other, each of two symmetrical sides of the front leg frame including an armrest, and a support beam disposed between each armrest and the front leg frame, wherein a first pivotal link is provided between the front leg frame and the armrest; a second pivotal link is provided between the support beam and the front leg frame; and a rail is provided between the armrest and the support beam, the rail including a locking portion; whereby the armrest is operable to retract or deploy separately from a pivoting of the front and rear leg frames so that the armrest may be deployed or retracted independently of a folding of the foldable chair, and the locking portion is able to secure the armrest in a deployed position; and wherein the rail includes two symmetrical slots, an end of the support beam is secured between the two slots through a bolt that is disposed across the two slots and is adapted to drive the end of the support beam to move along the two slots.
