Description

1. Domaine de l'invention1. Field of the invention

Le domaine de l'invention est celui de la puériculture. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne une chaise pour enfant, destinée à être utilisée pendant une période relativement longue de la vie de l'enfant, et dès le plus jeune âge.The field of the invention is that of childcare. More specifically, the invention relates to a chair for children, intended to be used for a relatively long period of the life of the child, and from a very young age.

2. Art antérieur et ses inconvénients2. Prior art and its disadvantages

On connaît des chaises pour enfant évolutives, dont l'assise est réglable en hauteur, afin de s'adapter à l'évolution de la taille de l'enfant. La profondeur de l'assise peut également être modifiée, en inversant les rôles et les positions de l'assise et du repose-pied, de façon à s'adapter également à la morphologie de l'enfant.Evolutionary children's chairs are known, whose seat is adjustable in height, to adapt to the changing size of the child. The depth of the seat can also be changed, by reversing the roles and positions of the seat and footrest, so as to adapt to the morphology of the child.

De telles chaises sont notamment décrites dans le document de brevet US 4 109 961 .Such chairs are described in particular in the patent document US 4,109,961 .

Cependant, de telles chaises ne conviennent pas aux enfants de moins de 6 mois : en effet, il est nécessaire que l'enfant sache se tenir en position assise. En outre, le dossier est peu enveloppant, ce qui rend la chaise peu adaptée aux très jeunes enfants.However, such chairs are not suitable for children under 6 months: indeed, it is necessary that the child knows how to hold in a sitting position. In addition, the backrest is slightly enveloping, which makes the chair unsuitable for very young children.

On connaît également des chaises hautes pour enfants dont le dossier est inclinable, de façon à pouvoir recevoir un bébé en position allongée ou semi-allongée. Ainsi, de telles chaises peuvent être utilisées dès le plus jeune âge, avant que l'enfant ne sache se tenir en position assise. Le document de brevet EP 2 078 478 présente ainsi une chaise haute pour enfant, dans laquelle l'assise et le dossier sont liés et forment un ensemble inclinable, de façon à pouvoir recevoir un petit enfant en position allongée.There are also known high chairs for children whose backrest is tilting, so as to receive a baby lying down or semi-recumbent. Thus, such chairs can be used from a very young age, before the child knows how to hold in a sitting position. The patent document EP 2,078,478 thus presents a highchair for children, in which the seat and the backrest are connected and form a tilting assembly, so as to be able to receive a small child lying down.

Cependant, de telles chaises ne conviennent qu'aux bébés et aux petits enfants, et ne peuvent généralement pas être utilisées au-delà de 3 ans environ.However, such chairs are only suitable for babies and toddlers, and generally can not be used beyond about 3 years.

On connaît également du document de brevet US 6,082,814 une chaise pour enfant évolutive, qui peut adopter trois configurations distinctes pour accueillir respectivement un bébé, un petit enfant, ou un enfant plus grand. Une telle chaise comprend une structure de support et un siège comprenant un dossier et une assise solidaires l'un de l'autre. Pour passer de la configuration adaptée aux petits enfants à la configuration adaptée aux enfants plus grands, le siège est retourné par rapport à la structure de support, de sorte que l'assise reste toujours horizontale, mais que le dossier, dans la première configuration adaptée aux petits enfants, s'étend vers le haut et sert de support au dos de l'enfant et, dans la deuxième configuration adaptée aux enfants plus grands, s'étend vers le bas, en position de rangement. Une simple barre transversale de la structure de support sert alors de soutien au dos de l'enfant plus grand.Patent document is also known US 6,082,814 a scalable children's chair, which can adopt three separate configurations to accommodate respectively a baby, a small child, or a larger child. Such a chair comprises a support structure and a seat comprising a backrest and a seat joined to each other. To change from the child-friendly configuration to the configuration suitable for larger children, the seat is turned upside down in relation to the support structure, so that the seat remains horizontal, but the backrest in the first adapted configuration to small children, extends upwards and serves as support for the back of the child and, in the second configuration suitable for larger children, extends downwards, in storage position. A simple crossbar of the support structure then serves to support the back of the larger child.

Un inconvénient de cette chaise de l'art antérieur est qu'elle n'offre pas un soutien dorsal suffisant aux enfants les plus grands, et s'avère donc peu confortable pour ces derniers. Plus généralement, elle s'adapte de façon insuffisante à l'évolution de la morphologie de l'enfant, dans la mesure où elle n'offre que trois configurations distinctes.A disadvantage of this prior art chair is that it does not provide sufficient back support for larger children, and is therefore uncomfortable for them. More generally, it adapts insufficiently to the evolution of the morphology of the child, insofar as it offers only three distinct configurations.

Il existe donc un besoin d'une chaise pour enfant évolutive qui puisse être utilisée pendant une période plus longue de la vie de l'enfant que les chaises de l'art antérieur, sans nécessiter d'équipements supplémentaires à rapporter ou à retirer selon l'âge de l'enfant.There is therefore a need for a scalable children's chair that can be used for a longer period of the child's life than the chairs of the prior art, without the need for additional equipment to be brought back or removed depending on the size of the child. age of the child.

Notamment, il existe un besoin d'une chaise pour enfant simple et peu coûteuse qui puisse être adaptée aussi bien aux bébés, avant qu'ils ne sachent se tenir en position assise, qu'aux petits enfants et qu'aux enfants plus grands (par exemple jusqu'à 9 ans environ).In particular, there is a need for a simple and inexpensive child's chair that can be adapted both to babies, before they can know how to sit, than to small children and older children ( for example up to about 9 years).

Il existe un besoin d'une telle chaise qui soit confortable pour l'enfant, quels que soient son âge et sa morphologie, et qui, notamment, lui procure un bon soutien dorsal à tout âge.There is a need for such a chair that is comfortable for the child, regardless of age and morphology, and which, in particular, provides him with good back support at any age.

3. Exposé de l'invention3. Presentation of the invention

L'invention répond à ce besoin en proposant une chaise pour enfant comprenant une structure de support portant une assise et un dossier présentant une partie supérieure et une partie inférieure, le dossier étant inclinable. Selon l'invention, un tel dossier est réversible par rapport à la structure de support entre une première et une deuxième positions, la partie supérieure et la partie inférieure du dossier étant inversées entre la première et la deuxième positions. En outre, un tel dossier est apte à soutenir le dos de l'enfant dans chacune de ses première et deuxième positions.The invention responds to this need by providing a child's chair comprising a support structure carrying a seat and a back having an upper portion and a lower portion, the backrest being reclining. According to the invention, such a file is reversible with respect to the support structure between a first and a second position, the part upper and lower part of the backrest being reversed between the first and second positions. In addition, such a file is able to support the back of the child in each of its first and second positions.

Ainsi, l'invention repose sur une approche tout à fait nouvelle et inventive de la chaise pour enfant, et notamment de la chaise évolutive pour enfant. En effet, la chaise de l'invention présente un dossier inclinable (de préférence jusqu'à une position horizontale ou proche de l'horizontale), ce qui lui permet d'être adaptée pour recevoir de petits enfants en position allongée ou semi-allongée : une telle chaise est donc adaptée pour recevoir des enfants dès leur plus jeune âge.Thus, the invention is based on a completely new and inventive approach to the child's chair, including the evolutive child's chair. Indeed, the chair of the invention has a reclining backrest (preferably to a horizontal position or close to the horizontal), which allows it to be adapted to accommodate small children lying down or semi-recumbent : such a chair is adapted to receive children from an early age.

En outre, l'invention propose astucieusement que le dossier puisse être retourné pour suivre l'évolution de l'enfant et son changement de morphologie. Ainsi, avec un seul ensemble de dossier, d'assise et de structure de support, on peut former, d'une part une chaise adaptée pour les très jeunes enfants lorsque le dossier est dans une première position, et d'autre part une chaise adaptée pour les plus grands enfants lorsque le dossier est dans une deuxième position. Le dossier remplit une fonction de soutien du dos de l'enfant dans chacune de ses première et deuxième positions, de sorte que la chaise de l'invention est confortable à tout âge de l'enfant.In addition, the invention cleverly proposes that the file can be returned to follow the evolution of the child and its morphology change. Thus, with a single set of backrest, seat and supporting structure, one can form, firstly a chair suitable for very young children when the backrest is in a first position, and secondly a chair suitable for older children when the backrest is in a second position. The backrest performs a supporting function of the child's back in each of its first and second positions, so that the chair of the invention is comfortable at any age of the child.

Selon un aspect particulier optionnel de l'invention, ladite partie supérieure et ladite partie inférieure du dossier sont de dimensions différentes.According to a particular optional aspect of the invention, said upper part and said lower part of the backrest are of different dimensions.

Ainsi le dossier est asymétrique : par exemple, la partie dite supérieure du dossier est environ deux fois plus haute que la partie dite inférieure, de sorte que le dossier s'étend principalement vers le haut, ou principalement vers le bas, selon qu'il est dans la première ou dans la deuxième position. De même, les parties supérieure et inférieure du dossier peuvent présenter des largeurs différentes, et même, plus généralement, des formes différentes (par exemple, plus ou moins enveloppantes). Le dossier assure ainsi un maintien dorsal optimal quels que soient l'âge et la morphologie de l'enfant.Thus the file is asymmetrical: for example, the so-called upper part of the file is about twice as high as the so-called lower part, so that the file extends mainly upwards, or mainly downwards, depending on whether is in the first or second position. Similarly, the upper and lower parts of the backrest may have different widths, and even, more generally, different shapes (for example, more or less enveloping). The backrest ensures optimal back support regardless of the age and morphology of the child.

Selon une première caractéristique optionnelle de l'invention, l'assise est inclinable indépendamment du dossier.According to a first optional feature of the invention, the seat is reclining independently of the backrest.

Ainsi, on peut ajuster d'une part l'inclinaison du dossier par rapport à la structure, d'autre part l'inclinaison de l'assise par rapport à la structure, mais également l'angle entre le dossier et l'assise. Ceci permet de s'adapter à toutes les tailles et morphologies des enfants, notamment des bébés, quel que soit leur âge. On notera que l'inclinaison du dossier, comme de l'assise, peut se faire en continu, ou selon un ensemble prédéfini de positions discrètes.Thus, one can adjust on the one hand the inclination of the backrest relative to the structure, on the other hand the inclination of the seat relative to the structure, but also the angle between the backrest and the seat. This makes it possible to adapt to all sizes and morphologies of children, especially babies, whatever their age. Note that the inclination of the backrest, as the seat, can be done continuously, or according to a predefined set of discrete positions.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, le dossier et l'assise sont aptes à pivoter chacun autour d'un axe horizontal respectif de façon à ce que le dossier et l'assise s'inclinent en se recouvrant partiellement, un ensemble du dossier et de l'assise formant une structure de transat pour bébé.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the backrest and the seat are able to pivot each around a respective horizontal axis so that the backrest and the seat recline partially overlapping, a set the backrest and the seat forming a baby lounge chair structure.

La possibilité de faire pivoter d'une part le dossier, et d'autre part l'assise, indépendamment l'un de l'autre, permet donc de les amener dans une position relative telle que leur ensemble présente une structure de transat pour bébé ; dans cette position le dossier et l'assise se recouvrent partiellement, de façon à assurer un bon maintien de l'enfant et un soutien adapté de tout son corps. En outre, l'inclinaison de ce transat pour bébé par rapport à la structure de support est ainsi finement ajustable, pour s'adapter aux phases de sommeil et d'éveil du bébé.The ability to rotate the folder on the one hand, and the seat on the other, independently of one another, therefore allows them to be brought into a relative position such that their set has a baby chair structure. ; in this position the backrest and the seat overlap partially, so as to ensure a good support of the child and support adapted to his whole body. In addition, the inclination of the baby chair with respect to the support structure is thus finely adjustable, to adapt to the phases of sleep and awakening of the baby.

A nouveau, le dossier et l'assise peuvent pivoter en continu ou, en variante, peuvent prendre un certain nombre de positions d'inclinaison prédéfinies.Again, the backrest and the seat can rotate continuously or, alternatively, can take a number of predefined inclination positions.

Avantageusement, le dossier et l'assise sont configurés de façon à ce que l'ensemble du dossier et de l'assise présente une forme de transat pour bébé.Advantageously, the backrest and the seat are configured so that the entire backrest and the seat has a form of baby lounger.

Ainsi, le dossier et l'assise sont conçus de façon à ce que l'ensemble qu'ils forment présente une forme enveloppante pour un bon confort et un bon maintien du bébé, dès son plus jeune âge.Thus, the backrest and the seat are designed so that all they form has an enveloping shape for comfort and good support of the baby, from an early age.

Selon un autre aspect optionnel de l'invention, l'assise est réglable en hauteur.According to another optional aspect of the invention, the seat is adjustable in height.

La chaise peut donc « grandir » avec l'enfant, et s'adapter à l'évolution de sa taille.The chair can therefore "grow" with the child, and adapt to the evolution of its size.

Notamment, lorsque le dossier est dans la première position, l'assise est réglée dans une position haute, et la chaise est alors adaptée pour recevoir un bébé. La chaise remplit alors une fonction de transat pour les bébés entre 0 et 6 mois environ et une fonction de chaise haute pour les bébés qui commencent à se tenir assis, jusqu'aux petits enfants (3 ans environ). On notera que par « position haute », on entend principalement une position haute relative de l'assise par rapport au dossier. Notamment, dans une telle position haute, les axes de rotation relatifs de l'assise et du dossier sont relativement proches. Cependant, dans le cas où la chaise haute est utilisée pour faire participer les très jeunes enfants aux repas, à la table familiale, une telle position haute s'entend bien sûr également par rapport à la structure de support.In particular, when the backrest is in the first position, the seat is adjusted to a high position, and the chair is then adapted to receive a baby. The chair then performs a baby chair function for babies between 0 and 6 months and a high chair function for babies who start to sit up to small children (about 3 years old). Note that "high position" means mainly a relative high position of the seat relative to the folder. In particular, in such a high position, the relative rotational axes of the seat and the backrest are relatively close. However, in the case where the high chair is used to involve the very young children at meals at the family table, such a high position is of course also in relation to the support structure.

Inversement, lorsque le dossier est dans la deuxième position, l'assise est réglée en une position basse, et la chaise est alors adaptée pour recevoir un enfant, voire même un adulte. La chaise de l'invention est de préférence adaptée pour les enfants de 3 à 9 ans environ. A nouveau, par « position basse », on entend une position basse relative de l'assise par rapport au dossier, i.e. les axes de rotations respectifs de l'assise et du dossier sont plus éloignés l'un de l'autre que dans la première configuration ci-dessus. Cependant, la position de l'assise reste bien sûr réglable en hauteur, notamment pour s'adapter à l'évolution de la taille de l'enfant entre 3 et 9 ans environ.Conversely, when the backrest is in the second position, the seat is adjusted to a low position, and the chair is then adapted to receive a child, or even an adult. The chair of the invention is preferably suitable for children from 3 to 9 years old. Again, "low position" means a relative low position of the seat relative to the backrest, ie the respective rotational axes of the seat and the backrest are further apart than in the first configuration above. However, the position of the seat is of course adjustable in height, especially to adapt to the changing size of the child between 3 and 9 years.

A titre optionnel, on peut prévoir que l'assise ne puisse s'incliner que lorsqu'elle est en position haute, c'est-à-dire lorsque la chaise est configurée pour recevoir de jeunes enfants. En effet, une telle inclinaison de l'assise n'est généralement pas nécessaire pour les enfants plus grands.As an option, it can be provided that the seat can tilt only when it is in the high position, that is to say when the chair is configured to receive young children. Indeed, such an inclination of the seat is generally not necessary for older children.

On notera que les points de fixation du dossier à la structure de support sont de préférence excentrés par rapport au dossier, de sorte que les première et deuxième positions du dossier ne sont pas symétriques, ce qui rend chacune de ces deux positions adaptée à une tranche d'âges particulière de l'enfant. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, si l'on considère le dossier dans sa hauteur, ses points de fixation à la structure de support sont par exemple situés à 1/3 de sa hauteur. Ainsi, les parties supérieure et inférieure du dossier, délimitées par les points de fixation du dossier à la structure de support, sont de dimensions (plus précisément ici, de hauteurs) différentes.Note that the fixing points of the backrest to the support structure are preferably eccentric with respect to the folder, so that the first and second positions of the folder are not symmetrical, which makes each of these two positions adapted to a slice of particular ages of the child. In a particular embodiment of the invention, if we consider the folder in its height, its attachment points to the support structure are for example located at 1/3 of its height. Thus, the upper and lower parts of the folder, delimited by the fixing points of the backrest to the support structure, are of dimensions (more precisely here, of heights) different.

Selon un autre aspect optionnel de l'invention, la structure de support présente une forme de Y inversé.According to another optional aspect of the invention, the support structure has an inverted Y shape.

Une telle forme assure une bonne stabilité à la chaise de l'invention, quelle que soit la configuration de l'assise et du dossier, à savoir leur hauteur et leur inclinaison respectives. Cependant d'autres formes de structures de support peuvent également être envisagées, et en particulier la plupart des formes connues.Such a shape ensures good stability to the chair of the invention, regardless of the configuration of the seat and backrest, namely their respective height and inclination. However, other forms of support structures can also be envisaged, and in particular most of the known forms.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dossier étant monté de façon à pouvoir pivoter autour d'un axe horizontal passant par deux points de fixation du dossier à deux supports de fixation de la structure de support, le dossier est apte à passer de la première à la deuxième position en inversant les points de fixation par rapport aux supports de fixation.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the backrest being mounted so as to pivot about a horizontal axis passing through two attachment points of the backrest to two support brackets of the support structure, the file is adapted to move from the first to the second position by reversing the attachment points relative to the mounting brackets.

Ainsi, il suffit de détacher le dossier de la structure de support et de le retourner en inversant les parties supérieure et inférieure du dossier, le dos de l'enfant restant en appui sur la même face du dossier.Thus, simply detach the back of the support structure and return by reversing the upper and lower parts of the folder, the back of the child remaining on the same side of the backrest.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, le dossier étant monté sur la structure de support de façon à pouvoir pivoter autour d'un axe horizontal, le dossier est apte à passer de la première à la deuxième position par rotation autour de l'axe horizontal.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the backrest being mounted on the support structure so as to pivot about a horizontal axis, the backrest is able to move from the first to the second position by rotation around the horizontal axis.

Dans ce cas, il suffit de faire faire une rotation de 180° autour de son axe au dossier pour en inverser la position. Ce mode de réalisation a pour avantage une manipulation plus aisée du dossier, qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de démonter. Cependant, le sens d'assise de l'enfant est alors inversé par rapport à la structure de support lorsqu'on retourne le dossier.In this case, it is sufficient to make a rotation of 180 ° around its axis to the folder to reverse the position. This embodiment has the advantage of easier handling of the folder, it is not necessary to disassemble. However, the seated sense of the child is then reversed with respect to the support structure when the file is returned.

Selon une caractéristique optionnelle, la structure de support présente au moins deux fentes d'inclinaisons différentes, destinées à recevoir une partie mâle d'un élément de fixation du dossier et/ou de l'assise.According to an optional feature, the support structure has at least two slots of different inclinations for receiving a male portion of a fastening element of the backrest and / or the seat.

Ainsi, le dossier et/ou l'assise ne s'inclinent pas de manière continue par rapport à la structure de support, mais peuvent prendre un ensemble de positions discrètes prédéterminées, d'inclinaisons différentes. L'inclinaison du dossier et/ou de l'assise par rapport à la structure de support, ainsi que sa hauteur, dépend de la fente de la structure de support dans laquelle vient coulisser la partie mâle de l'élément de fixation du dossier et/ou de l'assise.Thus, the backrest and / or the seat does not incline continuously with respect to the support structure, but can take a set of predetermined discrete positions of different inclinations. The inclination of the backrest and / or the seat with respect to the support structure, as well as its height, depends on the slot of the support structure in which the male part of the backrest fastening element is slid and / or the seat.

5. Description détaillée de modes de réalisation de l'invention5. Detailed Description of Embodiments of the Invention

Le principe général de l'invention repose sur un nouveau concept de chaise évolutive pour enfant, dans lequel le dossier inclinable est également réversible entre deux positions adaptées respectivement aux plus jeunes et aux plus grands enfants, de façon à ce que la chaise puisse être utilisée sur une longue période de la vie de l'enfant, de préférence de la naissance à 9 ans environ. Le dossier remplit une fonction de soutien du dos de l'enfant quelle que soit sa position.The general principle of the invention is based on a new concept of evolutive child's chair, in which the reclining backrest is also reversible between two positions adapted respectively to the youngest and the oldest children, so that the chair can be used over a long period of the child's life, preferably from birth to around 9 years of age. The file fulfills a function of supporting the back of the child regardless of his position.

On présente désormais, en relation avec les figures 1A et 1B, la chaise de l'invention dans une configuration de chaise haute adaptée aux bébés de 6 à 36 mois environ.We now present, in relation with the Figures 1A and 1B , the chair of the invention in a high chair configuration suitable for babies from 6 to 36 months.

Une telle chaise comprend une structure de support référencée 1 qui présente sensiblement une forme de Y inversé. Sur cette structure de support référencée 1 sont fixés une assise référencée 2 et un dossier référencé 3. Cette chaise étant, dans cette configuration, destinée aux bébés entre 6 et 36 mois, on prévoit également, de manière avantageuse, un repose-pied référencé 4 et un arceau de maintien amovible référencé 5, en forme de T, qui, grâce à sa pièce d'entrejambe, permet d'éviter que le bébé ne glisse de la chaise. En complément, le dossier référencé 3 peut présenter des orifices référencés 6 de passage de sangle, destinés à recevoir un harnais de sécurité (non représenté sur les figures). A titre de variante, le dossier peut ne pas présenter de passages de sangle : dans ce cas, la sécurité de l'enfant peut par exemple être assurée au moyen d'un harnais trois points qui vient se fixer sous l'assise par crochets.Such a chair comprises a support structure referenced 1 which has substantially an inverted Y shape. On this support structure referenced 1 are attached a referenced seat 2 and a folder referenced 3. This chair being, in this configuration, intended for babies between 6 and 36 months, is also advantageously provided, a footrest referenced 4 and a T-shaped removable retention bar referenced 5, which, thanks to its crotch part, prevents the baby from slipping off the chair. In addition, the referenced backrest 3 may have referenced ports 6 for strap passage, intended to receive a safety harness (not shown in the figures). Alternatively, the backrest may not have strap passages: in this case, the safety of the child may for example be provided by means of a three-point harness which is fixed under the seat by hooks.

La structure de support référencée 1 présente par ailleurs un ensemble de supports de fixation, par exemple sous la forme d'encoches référencées 7, destinés à recevoir le repose-pied référencé 4 ou l'assise référencée 2, ces deux éléments pouvant être ajustés en hauteur, comme on le verra par la suite sur les autres figures.The support structure referenced 1 also has a set of mounting brackets, for example in the form of notches referenced 7, for receiving the footrest referenced 4 or the seat referenced 2, these two elements can be adjusted in height, as will be seen later in the other figures.

Le dossier référencé 3 est par ailleurs monté sur la structure de support référencée 1 de façon à pouvoir pivoter autour de l'axe horizontal référencé 8 représenté en traits mixtes sur la figure 1A. De cette façon, il est possible d'incliner le dossier 3, pour pouvoir accueillir par exemple un enfant endormi, ou en position de repos. L'axe horizontal 8 passe par les deux points de fixation A et B du dossier 3 à la structure de support 1.The referenced file 3 is also mounted on the support structure referenced 1 so as to be pivotable about the horizontal axis referenced 8 shown in phantom on the Figure 1A . In this way, it is possible to tilt the backrest 3, to accommodate for example a sleeping child, or in a rest position. The horizontal axis 8 passes through the two attachment points A and B of the backrest 3 to the support structure 1.

De même, l'assise référencée 2 est montée sur la structure de support référencée 1 de façon à pouvoir pivoter autour de l'axe horizontal référencé 9.Similarly, the seat referenced 2 is mounted on the support structure referenced 1 so as to be pivotable about the horizontal axis referenced 9.

Un tel pivotement peut être continu, de sorte que le dossier et l'assise peuvent être sécurisés dans toute position d'inclinaison du choix de l'utilisateur. En variante, un tel pivotement peut être discret, de sorte que le dossier et/ou l'assise ne peuvent prendre qu'un nombre prédéterminé de positions d'inclinaison. Il est encore possible que l'un des deux éléments, dossier ou assise, puisse s'incliner en continu, tandis que l'autre ne puisse prendre qu'un nombre de positions d'inclinaison prédéterminé.Such pivoting can be continuous, so that the backrest and the seat can be secured in any tilting position of the user's choice. In a variant, such pivoting can be discreet, so that the backrest and / or the seat can take only a predetermined number of inclination positions. It is still possible that one of the two elements, backrest or seat, can tilt continuously, while the other can take only a number of positions of predetermined inclination.

De telles positions d'inclinaison discrètes peuvent par exemple être définies au moyen d'un ensemble de fentes pratiquées dans la structure de support, dans lesquelles on vient faire coulisser et maintenir le dossier et/ou l'assise.Such discrete inclination positions may for example be defined by means of a set of slots in the support structure, in which it is slid and maintain the backrest and / or the seat.

Les deux axes de rotation horizontaux 8 et 9 sont distincts l'un de l'autre, mais relativement proches dans la configuration en chaise haute des figures 1A et 1B. Le dossier référencé 3 et l'assise référencée 2 peuvent s'incliner indépendamment l'un de l'autre : ainsi, il est possible d'incliner l'un seulement de ces deux éléments, ou les deux, et d'ajuster avec précision l'angle entre le dossier 3 et l'assise 2, comme on le verra plus en détail en relation avec les figures 4A et 4B.The two horizontal axes of rotation 8 and 9 are distinct from one another, but relatively close in the configuration in the highchair of the Figures 1A and 1B . The referenced folder 3 and the seat referenced 2 can tilt independently of one another: thus, it is possible to tilt only one of these two elements, or both, and adjust precisely the angle between the backrest 3 and the seat 2, as will be seen in more detail in relation to the Figures 4A and 4B .

Une tablette et/ou un plateau, non représentés sur les figures, peuvent également être fixés sur l'arceau de maintien référencé 5, ou à la place de ce dernier, lorsque l'on souhaite faire manger l'enfant en dehors de la table familiale.A tablet and / or a tray, not shown in the figures, can also be fixed on the holding bar referenced 5, or instead of the latter, when it is desired to eat the child outside the table family.

On présente désormais, en relation avec les figures 2A et 2B, la chaise des figures 1A et 1B que l'on a fait évoluer pour l'adapter à de jeunes enfants, par exemple à partir de trois ans. A partir de cet âge, l'enfant souhaite généralement s'asseoir à la table familiale, pour partager le repas de ses parents, et il n'est plus nécessaire, ni de prévoir une tablette pour son repas, ni généralement de sécuriser sa position au moyen d'un harnais ou d'un arceau de maintien. Il convient simplement d'ajuster la hauteur de l'assise pour que, d'une part, elle soit adaptée à la hauteur de la table et que, d'autre part, son positionnement par rapport au dossier de la chaise soit adapté à la taille et à la morphologie de l'enfant.We now present, in relation with the Figures 2A and 2B , the chair of Figures 1A and 1B that we have evolved to adapt to young children, for example from three years. From this age, the child usually wants to sit down at the family table, to share the meal of his parents, and it is no longer necessary, nor to provide a tablet for his meal, nor generally to secure his position by means of a harness or a bow keeping. It is simply necessary to adjust the height of the seat so that, on the one hand, it is adapted to the height of the table and that, on the other hand, its position relative to the back of the chair is adapted to the size and morphology of the child.

Pour ce faire, l'invention propose d'utiliser le même dossier que dans la configuration de chaise haute décrite précédemment, mais en le retournant, de façon à inverser ses parties supérieure et inférieure. Le dossier conserve une fonction de soutien du dos de l'enfant, dans cette position retournée. Ainsi, sur la figure 2A, la partie supérieure référencée 31 du dossier 3 correspond à la partie inférieure du dossier 3 sur la figure correspondante 1B : comme on peut le noter les passages de sangle 6 destinés au harnais de sécurité apparaissent donc désormais dans la partie supérieure 31 du dossier 3 (ce qui n'est pas gênant dans la mesure où l'enfant n'a généralement plus besoin d'être attaché dans sa chaise à cet âge).To do this, the invention proposes to use the same folder as in the high chair configuration described above, but by turning it over, so as to reverse its upper and lower parts. The file retains a support function of the back of the child, in this returned position. So, on the Figure 2A , the upper part referenced 31 of the backrest 3 corresponds to the lower part of the backrest 3 in the corresponding FIG. 1B: as can be noted, the strap passages 6 intended for the safety harness now appear in the upper part 31 of the backrest 3 ( which is not a problem since the child does not usually need to be strapped in his chair at this age).

Par ailleurs, on notera que les points de fixation A et B du dossier référencé 3 à la structure de support référencée 1 ne sont pas situés au milieu de la hauteur du dossier 3 : ainsi, dans la configuration en chaise haute des figures 1A et 1B, le dossier référencé 3 s'étend principalement au-dessus des points de fixation A et B à la structure de support référencée 1. Inversement, dans la configuration des figures 2A et 2B, la majeure partie du dossier référencé 3 s'étend en dessous des points de fixation à la structure de support 1.Furthermore, it will be noted that the fixing points A and B of the file referenced 3 to the support structure referenced 1 are not situated in the middle of the height of the backrest 3: thus, in the configuration in the highchair of the Figures 1A and 1B , referenced folder 3 extends mainly above attachment points A and B to the support structure referenced 1. Conversely, in the configuration of Figures 2A and 2B , the major part of the referenced file 3 extends below the attachment points to the support structure 1.

En d'autres termes, si l'on considère que les points de fixation du dossier 3 à la structure de support 1 délimitent les parties inférieure et supérieure du dossier, ces deux parties ne sont pas de taille équivalente.In other words, if we consider that the attachment points of the backrest 3 to the support structure 1 delimit the lower and upper parts of the folder, these two parts are not of equivalent size.

On notera que, de façon préférentielle, on ne retourne le dossier référencé 3 que lorsque l'assise référencée 2 est en position suffisamment basse. En effet, la chaise de l'invention peut être utilisée dans une position dite « juvénile » sans harnais, dans laquelle le dossier 3 est tourné vers le haut (comme sur la figure 1A), et c'est seulement après avoir baissé suffisamment la hauteur de l'assise (par exemple, par décalage vers le bas d'un certain nombre d'encoches) que l'on retourne le dossier 3. Ceci permet notamment d'éviter l'apparition d'un « trou » dans le dos de l'enfant, entre le dossier 3 et l'assise 2, et lui assure un meilleur soutien lombaire.It will be noted that, preferably, the referenced backrest 3 is only returned when the seat referenced 2 is in a sufficiently low position. Indeed, the chair of the invention can be used in a position called "Juvenile" without harness, in which the backrest 3 is facing upwards (as on the Figure 1A ), and it is only after having lowered the height of the seat sufficiently (for example, by shifting down a certain number of notches) that the backrest 3 is turned over. This makes it possible in particular to avoid the appearance of a "hole" in the back of the child, between the backrest 3 and the seat 2, and provides him with better lumbar support.

Ainsi, sur la figure 2A, l'assise référencée 2 et le repose-pied référencé 4 ont tous deux été abaissés à une position de réglage plus basse sur la structure de support référencée 1 par rapport aux figures 1A et 1B.So, on the Figure 2A , the seat referenced 2 and the footrest referenced 4 have both been lowered to a lower setting position on the support structure referenced 1 with respect to Figures 1A and 1B .

Les points d'attache de l'assise référencée 2 à la structure de support 1 sont désormais plus éloignés des points de fixation du dossier 3 à la structure de support 1 que dans la configuration en chaise haute des figures 1A et 1B. L'assise référencée 2 est donc placée en position sensiblement basse par rapport au dossier référencé 3. En d'autres termes, les axes de rotation référencés 8 et 9 autour desquels le dossier référencé 3 d'une part, et l'assise référencée 2 d'autre part peuvent pivoter pour s'incliner sont plus éloignés dans cette configuration que dans la configuration de chaise haute des figures 1A et 1B.The attachment points of the seat referenced 2 to the support structure 1 are now further away from the fixing points of the backrest 3 to the support structure 1 than in the configuration in the highchair of the Figures 1A and 1B . The seat referenced 2 is therefore placed in a substantially low position relative to the referenced backrest 3. In other words, the rotation axes referenced 8 and 9 around which the referenced folder 3 on the one hand, and the seat referenced 2 on the other hand can rotate to bow are further away in this configuration than in the high chair configuration of Figures 1A and 1B .

Pour retourner le dossier référencé 3, on a, dans le mode de réalisation illustré en figure 2A-2B, inversé les points de fixation A et B du dossier 3 à la structure de support référencée 1. Le dos de l'enfant reste en appui sur la même face du dossier 3, ce qui est particulièrement intéressant dans la mesure où ce dossier présente une forme enveloppante qui assure donc un bon confort et un bon maintien de l'enfant.To return the file referenced 3, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. Figure 2A-2B , reversed the attachment points A and B of the backrest 3 to the support structure referenced 1. The back of the child remains on the same side of the backrest 3, which is particularly interesting insofar as this folder has a wraparound shape which ensures a good comfort and a good maintenance of the child.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, qui n'a pas été illustré sur les figures, le dossier référencé 3 peut être retourné en lui faisant opérer une rotation de 180° autour de son axe de rotation horizontal référencé 8 : dans ce cas, le dos de l'enfant reste toujours en appui sur la même face du dossier 3, mais son sens d'assise est modifié par rapport à la structure de support 1.In another embodiment, which has not been illustrated in the figures, the referenced file 3 can be returned by causing it to rotate 180 ° about its horizontal axis of rotation referenced 8: in this case, the back the child is still resting on the same face of the backrest 3, but its seating direction is changed relative to the support structure 1.

Comme on pourra le noter en observant les figures 3A et 3B, dans cette configuration, la chaise peut encore évoluer pour s'adapter à la taille de l'enfant, en jouant sur le réglage de la hauteur de l'assise référencée 2 et du repose-pied référencé 4. Ainsi, la figure 3A correspond à un réglage pour un jeune enfant (par exemple trois ans) : l'assise 2 est dans une position plus haute par rapport au dossier 3 et à la structure de support 1 et un repose-pied 4 a été positionné sur la structure de support 1, car l'enfant est encore trop petit pour que ses pieds touchent terre en position assise. La figure 3B correspond à un réglage pour un enfant plus grand (par exemple neuf ans) : l'assise 2 a été abaissée, et le repose-pied 4 a été supprimé.As will be noted by observing the Figures 3A and 3B in this configuration, the chair can still evolve to fit the size of the child, by adjusting the height of the seat referenced 2 and footrest referenced 4. Thus, the figure 3A corresponds to a setting for a young child (for example three years): the seat 2 is in a higher position relative to the backrest 3 and the support structure 1 and a footrest 4 has been positioned on the structure of support 1, because the child is still too small for his feet to touch the ground while sitting. The figure 3B corresponds to a setting for a larger child (eg nine years): the seat 2 has been lowered, and the footrest 4 has been removed.

La réglage de la hauteur de l'assise 2 et du repose-pied 4 peut se faire en choisissant le support de fixation référencé 7 de la structure de support 1 le mieux adapté à la taille de l'enfant.Adjusting the height of the seat 2 and the footrest 4 can be done by choosing the mounting bracket referenced 7 of the support structure 1 best suited to the size of the child.

On notera que le repose-pied référencé 4 présente sensiblement une forme de U. Ainsi, avec un nombre d'encoches 7 fixé, on peut créer artificiellement d'autres niveaux du repose-pied 4, simplement en le retournant. En effet, lorsque le repose-pied 4 est fixé dans une encoche 7 donnée de la structure de support 1, il peut présenter deux niveaux de hauteur distincts selon qu'il est positionné dans l'encoche de façon à présenter une forme de U, ou une forme de U inversé.Note that the footrest referenced 4 has a substantially U-shaped. Thus, with a number of notches 7 fixed, one can artificially create other levels of the footrest 4, simply by turning it. Indeed, when the footrest 4 is fixed in a given notch 7 of the support structure 1, it can have two different height levels depending on whether it is positioned in the notch so as to have a U-shape, or an inverted U shape.

On présente désormais, en relation avec les figures 4A et 4B, la chaise de l'invention dans une configuration adaptée aux bébés, dès la naissance. Dans cette configuration, la chaise présente une structure de transat pour bébé (en anglais « bouncer »), placée sur la structure de support référencée 1.We now present, in relation with the Figures 4A and 4B , the chair of the invention in a configuration adapted to babies, from birth. In this configuration, the chair has a structure of baby lounger (in English "bouncer"), placed on the support structure referenced 1.

Dans cette configuration, le dossier référencé 3 est monté dans le même sens que dans la configuration en chaise haute des figures 1A et 1B. L'assise référencée 2 est quant à elle réglée à la même hauteur sur la structure de support 1 que sur les figures 1A et 1B. Le dossier référencé 3 a pivoté autour de l'axe de rotation référencé 8 et est donc incliné vers l'arrière. De même, l'assise référencée 2 a pivoté autour de son axe de rotation référencé 9 pour faire remonter sa partie avant.In this configuration, the referenced folder 3 is mounted in the same direction as in the configuration in high chair of the Figures 1A and 1B . The seat referenced 2 is in turn set at the same height on the support structure 1 as on the Figures 1A and 1B . The referenced folder 3 has rotated about the axis of rotation referenced 8 and is thus inclined towards the rear. Similarly, the referenced seat 2 has rotated about its axis of rotation referenced 9 to raise its front portion.

Cette inclinaison peut s'être opérée en continu, ou, à titre de variante, en sélectionnant sur la structure de support 1 la fente adéquate dans laquelle positionner le dossier d'une part, et l'assise d'autre part, pour obtenir le degré d'inclinaison souhaité, comme décrit plus en détail par la suite en relation avec les figures 5A à 5D.This inclination may have been operated continuously, or, alternatively, by selecting on the support structure 1 the adequate slot in which to position the folder on the one hand, and the seat on the other hand, to obtain the desired degree of inclination, as described in more detail later in connection with the Figures 5A to 5D .

Comme on le voit sur la figure 4B, le dossier référencé 3 et l'assise référencée 2 se recouvrent alors partiellement au niveau de la zone référencée 10, l'assise 2 étant protubérante à l'arrière du dossier 3. La structure de l'ensemble de l'assise 2 et du dossier 3 est alors proche de la structure d'un transat pour bébé, qui peut recevoir un bébé en position allongée ou semi-allongée. L'inclinaison de ce transat peut en outre être ajustée en jouant sur les inclinaisons respectives de l'assise 2 et du dossier 3, selon que le bébé est en phase d'éveil ou de sommeil par exemple.As we see on the Figure 4B the referenced backrest 3 and the seat referenced 2 then overlap partially at the area referenced 10, the seat 2 being protruding at the back of the backrest 3. The structure of the entire seat 2 and the The backrest 3 is then close to the structure of a baby lounger, which can receive a baby lying down or semi-lying. The inclination of this lounger can also be adjusted by adjusting the respective inclinations of the seat 2 and the backrest 3, depending on whether the baby is waking or sleeping, for example.

En outre, la forme de l'assise 2 et du dossier 3 sont choisies de façon à s'épouser l'une l'autre et donc choisies de façon à ce que, dans cette configuration inclinée, l'ensemble de l'assise et du dossier présentent une forme enveloppante de transat pour bébé, et assure un bon maintien dorsal.In addition, the shape of the seat 2 and backrest 3 are chosen so as to marry each other and thus chosen so that, in this inclined configuration, the entire seat and The backrest has a wrap-around shape of baby lounger, and ensures a good back support.

On notera que, dans cette configuration, le repose-pied 4 n'est pas nécessaire, bien qu'il ait été illustré sur les figures 4A et 4B.Note that, in this configuration, the footrest 4 is not necessary, although it has been illustrated on the Figures 4A and 4B .

On présente désormais, en relation avec les figures 5A à 5D, un exemple de mode de réalisation du mécanisme d'inclinaison de l'assise 2 et du dossier 3.We now present, in relation with the Figures 5A to 5D , an exemplary embodiment of the reclining mechanism of the seat 2 and the backrest 3.

Ainsi qu'illustré sur la figure 5A, la structure de support référencée 1 présente un certain nombre de fentes, présentant un angle d'inclinaison donné, par rapport à l'horizontale ou à la verticale.As illustrated on the Figure 5A , the support structure referenced 1 has a number of slots, having a given angle of inclination relative to the horizontal or the vertical.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 5A, la structure de support référencée 1 présente ainsi cinq fentes référencées A1 à A5, destinées à recevoir l'assise référencée 2. Les fentes référencées A2 à A5 sont horizontales, et permettent donc le positionnement de l'assise à l'horizontale. La fente référencée A1 est en revanche inclinée par rapport à l'horizontale, et est utilisée lorsque la chaise haute est configurée en mode « bouncer », c'est-à-dire en transat pour bébé.In the example of the Figure 5A , the support structure referenced 1 thus has five slots referenced A1 to A5, intended to receive the seat referenced 2. The slots referenced A2 to A5 are horizontal, and thus allow the positioning of the seat horizontally. The slot referenced A1, however, is inclined relative to the horizontal, and is used when the high chair is configured in "bouncer" mode, that is to say in baby's lounger.

La structure de support référencée 1 présenté également trois fentes référencées B1 à B3, destinées à recevoir le dossier référencé 3, dans une position plus ou moins inclinée. Ainsi, la fente référencée B3 permet d'assurer une position verticale au dossier référencé 3, et est de préférence utilisée lorsque les enfants savent se tenir assis. La fente référencée B1 présente une inclinaison de 40° par rapport à la verticale et est de préférence utilisée lorsque la chaise haute est configurée en mode « bouncer », c'est-à-dire en transat pour bébé (conjointement avec la fente A1 destinée à recevoir l'assise 2). La fente référencée B2 offre au dossier référencé 3 une inclinaison intermédiaire d'environ 12° par rapport à la verticale. Elle est notamment utilisée dans une configuration en chaise haute telle qu'illustrée sur les figures 1A et 1B.The support structure referenced 1 also presented three slots referenced B1 to B3, intended to receive the folder referenced 3, in a more or less inclined position. Thus, the slot referenced B3 ensures a vertical position to the folder referenced 3, and is preferably used when children know how to sit. The slot referenced B1 has an inclination of 40 ° with respect to the vertical and is preferably used when the high chair is configured in "bouncer" mode, that is to say in baby lounger (together with the slot A1 for to receive the seat 2). The slot B2 referenced referenced folder 3 an intermediate inclination of about 12 ° relative to the vertical. It is used in particular in a highchair configuration as illustrated on the Figures 1A and 1B .

Afin de pouvoir coopérer avec ces fentes de la structure de support, l'assise 2 et le dossier 3 présentent chacun un élément de fixation référencé 23 et 33, comme illustré sur les figures 5B et 5C. Chacun de ces éléments 23, 33 présente une partie mâle 24, 34, destinée à coulisser dans une fente de la structure de support 1. Un système de verrouillage est prévu sur l'élément de fixation, de façon à maintenir le dossier 3 ou l'assise 2 en position verrouillée sur la structure de support 1. Un bouton de déverrouillage 25, 35 permet de déverrouiller la position de l'assise ou du dossier lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite le ou la changer de fente, pour modifier sa hauteur ou son inclinaison.In order to be able to cooperate with these slots of the support structure, the seat 2 and the backrest 3 each have a fastening element referenced 23 and 33, as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 5B and 5C . Each of these elements 23, 33 has a male portion 24, 34, intended to slide in a slot of the support structure 1. A locking system is provided on the fastening element, so as to maintain the backrest 3 or the seat 2 in the locked position on the support structure 1. An unlocking button 25, 35 can unlock the position of the seat or backrest when the user wants to change the slot, to change its height or tilt.

Ainsi, comme illustré sur la figure 5D, l'assise référencée 2 peut, au choix de l'utilisateur, être positionnée dans l'une des fentes A1 à A5 de la structure de support référencée 1, en faisant coulisser la partie mâle 24 de l'élément de fixation 23 de l'assise 2 dans la fente choisie. Comme illustré sur les figures 5C et 5D, les éléments de fixation 23 et 33 sont prévus de part et d'autre de l'assise référencée 2 et du dossier référencé 3.So, as illustrated on the figure 5D , the seat referenced 2 may, at the option of the user, be positioned in one of the slots A1 to A5 of the support structure referenced 1, by sliding the male portion 24 of the fastening element 23 of the sitting 2 in the chosen slot. As illustrated on Figures 5C and 5D , the fastening elements 23 and 33 are provided on either side of the seat referenced 2 and the folder referenced 3.
