Description

Field of the Invention

The The present invention relates to a collapsible frame for one High chair, taking a chair over a connector can be folded as soon as solved an actuator has been.

Background of the Invention

Become high chairs generally used when toddlers eat. The constructions conventional high chairs can be seen in U.S. Patents 5,435,620; 4,958,885; 5,509,719; 5,348,374; 5,507,550; 5,806,922; 5,829,826; 5,927,805; 5,951,102 and 6,010,184 become. In general, a high chair consists of a chair and one linkage, that high above raised the floor. Usually the high chair has a shelf for eating the child.

The Legs or the linkage of high chairs is generally stationary, such as. disclosed in U.S. Patents 5,806,922 and 5,927,805, or foldable, e.g. in U.S. Patents 5,507,550 and 5,951,102 discloses, with two of the legs attached in the same place and the lower ends of the legs are opened at an angle can be so that there is a kind of high seat, or slants, e.g. in U.S. Patents 5,509,719; 5,435,620 and 4,958,885, the linkage being a first leg that runs horizontally above the floor, and includes a second leg, the first end with the first leg is connected and an oblique declining angle with respect to the first leg. That horizontally above floor leg can also be stationary (such as in U.S. Patent 5,509,719), assembled (such as in U.S. Patent 5,435,620) and foldable (such as e.g. in U.S. Patent 4,958,885), the stationary version not can be folded up, so that a relatively large amount of space for storage needed becomes; the composite embodiment allows a disassembly of the high chair for storage, however uncomfortable because it was repeatedly put together and taken apart must become; and the foldable embodiment allows for easy Fold up by pulling the first leg close to the second leg becomes. However, the folding mechanism disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,958,885 relatively complicated.

Summary of the invention

In contrast is it the main object of the present invention, a collapsible frame for one Creating high chair.

According to the invention the collapsible high chair frame: one folding stand, one Chair, a connector and an actuator, wherein the folding stand a front linkage, a rear linkage and has an associated swivel arm. The swivel arm is connected to the upper ends of the front and rear linkages, so that when folding the folding stand, the front and the rear linkage be swung close together. The chair also includes one Seat and a backrest, which are pivotable to each other. The chair is through the connecting device with the folding stand connected so that when pressed the between the folding stand and the chair arranged adjusting mechanism the chair at the same time folded down and thus a collapsible frame of a compact Size formed can be.

Detailed description of the invention (preferred embodiment)

According to 1 The present invention provides a collapsible frame 1 for a high chair that can be folded to a compact size for easy storage. The frame includes a folding stand 2 , a chair 3 , a connection device 5 and an actuator mechanism 6 ,

The folding stand 2 includes a front linkage 21 , a rear linkage 22 and a swivel arm 23 , The front linkage 21 and the rear linkage 22 each have an inverted U-shape. In this embodiment, the swivel arm 23 with the top ends of the front and rear linkages 21 . 22 connected. The top of the front linkage 21 is with a connecting tongue 24 (as in 3 shown) connected. The connecting tongue 24 is with the top of the rear boom 22 pivotally connected (or alternatively causes the upper end of the rear linkage 22 the swivel arm 23 directly rotates). When setting up the device according to the invention, the front and rear linkages rotate 21, 22 around the pivot point and thus form the folding stand 2 who the chair 3 wearing. When folded, the front and rear linkages rotate 21 . 22 also around the pivot point and are pushed close together. The swivel arm 23 can have a tray at its front end 4 have that can be pushed back and forth.

The chair 3 includes a seat 31 and a backrest 32 (please refer 2 ). Seat 31 and backrest 32 can be swiveled towards each other. The seat 31 the chair is rotatable on the front frame 21 arranged, making seat 31 and backrest 32 of the chair 3 after the rack is set up about 90 ° or more apart so that a toddler can sit in it, and thereby fit 31 and backrest 32 after collapsing the frame 1 are less than 90 ° apart. The rest 32 has a clamping element 33 on.

The connection device 5 is rotatable between the chair 3 and the folding stand 2 arranged and comprises a first connecting element 51 and a second connecting element 52 , The first connector 51 is rotatable between the seat 31 of the chair 3 and the rear linkage 22 arranged. The second connector 52 is rotatable between the backrest 32 and the first connecting element 51 arranged. When folding, the rear linkage moves 22 towards the front linkage 21 and the first and second connectors 51 . 52 for the connection of seat 31 and backrest 32 of the chair 3 for folding the seat 31 and backrest 32 move apart by an included angle of less than 90.

The adjusting mechanism 6 (please refer 4 ) is on the swivel arm 23 provided and reaches into the chair 3 and includes a push button 61 , a driver 62 , a clamping part 63 and a spring element 64 , After opening the high chair frame 1 protrudes the clamping part 63 from the swivel arm 23 under the tension of the spring element 64 out and reaches into the clamping element 33 in the backrest 32 of the chair 3 a, causing a further rotation of the entire high chair frame 1 is prevented and thus a solid state is guaranteed. For folding the frame 1 becomes the push button 61 pressed so that opposing sloping surfaces 621 . 631 for the driver 62 are created, and the clamping piece 63 it becomes a swivel arm 23 moves, causing it to separate from the clamping element 33 loosens and the high chair frame 1 can be brought into a folded state (see 5 ). While the rear linkage 22 and the front linkage 21 the backrest will be pushed close together 32 and the seat 31 of the chair 3 through the connecting device 5 folded so that the high chair takes a compact shape and is easy to store and transport (as in 6 shown).

The The present invention relates to a novel device, the one Breakthrough in the prior art represents. The above explanations refer however, refer to the description of preferred embodiments according to the invention. Because the present invention is not limited to specific details which is in connection with the preferred embodiments have been mentioned are changes and additions certain features of the preferred embodiments within the Framework of the attached Claims conceivable without changing the basic overall function of the invention would.
