The seat unit has a plurality of linking rods secured at the bottom corners thereof; the bottom end of each linking rod being affixed with a coupling portion, each coupling portion having a through hole provided at the outside of the bottom end thereof; and an embedding hole being provided on side wall of the coupling portion and being in communicate with top end of the through hole.
The foot step unit is formed with alot of coupling members on the periphery thereof; each coupling member having a coupling duct for accommodation of the coupling portion of said seat portion. A sliding channel is provided at outside of the bottom end of each connecting duct, in which a snap-fit element having a stopper block fastened to its bottom end is slidably provided. The stopper block is fastened to the bottom j end of each snap-fit element by a screw fastener penetrating through the snap-fit element. An aperture for mounting the stopper block is provided on the side wall of each coupling member. A leg is provide on the bottom end of each coupling member, and a fixing means, such as an elastic piece, penetrates through the side walls of each coupling member and the leg for fixation.
According to the preferred embodiment of the high chair of the present invention, a food tray is attached to the front side of the high chair for placing food.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The objects, the technical contents and the expected effectiveness of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Firstly referring to Figure 1 and 2, the high chair assembly of the present invention comprises a seat unit (1) and a foot step unit (2).
The seat unit (1) has a food tray (ii) attached to its front side for placing food. The seat unit (1) has a lot of linking rods (12) fixed at its bottom corners, the bottom end of each linking rod (12) being affixed with a coupling portion (13). Referring to Figure 3, each coupling portion (13) has a through hole (13 1) provided at outside of its bottom end, and an embedding hole (132) is provided on side wall of the coupling portion (13) and is in communicate with top end of the through hole (131). Configuring like this, each coupling portion (13) is able to assemble with corresponding coupling member (21) of the foot step unit (2).
The foot step unit (2) can provide additional space for placing food thereon. A number of coupling members (21) are formed on the periphery of the foot step unit (2), and top end of each coupling member (21) has a coupling duct (211) for accommodating a corresponding coupling portion (13) of the seat unit (1). A sliding groove (212) is provided at outside of the bottom end of each coupling duct (211), in which a snap-fit element (213) having a stopper block (214) fastened to its bottom end is slidably provided. The stopper block (214) is fastened to the bottom end of each snap-fit element (213) by a screw fastener (215). An aperture (216) for mounting the stopper block (214) is provided on the side wall of each coupling member (21). A leg (22) is provided on the bottom end of each coupling member (21), and through bores (217), (221) are respectively opened on the side walls of the each coupling member (21) and the leg (22). A fixing means (23), such as an elastic piece, is penetrated through the through bores (217), (221) for fixation. A hollow space (222) corresponding to the sliding groove (212) of each coupling member (21) is provided on top end of the leg (22) for matching with the bottom end of the coupling member (21) when coupled together.
In the assembling process, referring to Figures 3 to 7, each coupling portion (13) on the bottom corner of the seat unit (1) is placed into the coupling duct (211) of the corresponding coupling member (21) provided on the periphery of the foot step unit (2), such that the through hole (13 1) at the bottom end of each coupling portion (13) aligns with the snap-fit element (213). A force is applied on the stopper block (214) of each coupling member (21) to push the snap-fit element (213) upward into the through hole (13 1), and the snap-fit element (213) is engaged in the embedding hole (132) such that each coupling portion (13) of the seat unit (1) is fixedly coupled to each coupling member (21) on the periphery of the foot step unit (2). In this manner, assembling between the seat unit (1) and the foot step unit (2) is accomplished. The assembling process can be finished conveniently and quickly when feeding is required. When feeding has finished, or after the baby has grown up, the seat unit (1) and the foot step unit (2) are detached so as to reduce the volume for compact storage. The seat unit (1) and the foot step unit (2) can meet different demand to make quick transition between high chair for infant baby and a small desk-chair unit adaptable to children's life. This prolongs the lifetime of the product.
The abovementioned embodiment and drawings are not intended to restrict the product aspect, engagement structure or usage type of the present invention. Appropriate variations and modifications made by the person having ordinary knowledge in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are still regarded to be within the scope of the present invention.
Based on the foregoing, the high chair assembly of the present invention has the following advantages, when comparing with prior art.
1. In the present invention, seat unit and foot step unit are respectively provided with coupling portions and coupling members.
The assembling process can be finished conveniently and quickly when feeding baby is required. After finish of feeding or grown up of baby, the seat unit and the foot step unit are detached to reduce the volume for compact storage.
2. The seat unit and the foot step unit of the present invention can meet different demand to make quick transition between high chair for infant baby and a small desk-chair unit adaptable to children's life.
This prolongs the lifetime of the product.
3. In the present invention, each coupling portion has a through hole provided at its bottom end, and an embedding hole is provided on side wall of the coupling portion and is in communicate with top end of the through hole. A snap-fit element slidably disposed on each coupling member is inserted into the through hole and is engaged in the embedding hole, so that each coupling portion of the seat unit can be stably coupled to each coupling member provided on the periphery of the foot step unit so as to accomplish the assembling.
