ATTAGHMEN T FOR HIGH CHAIRS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan.14',1913;

Application filed February 20, 1912. Serial No. 878,846.

To all wiwm it may concern:

Be it known that I, KATHERINE'F. Con- LEY a citizen of the United States, residing at anton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Attachments for I -l1gh Jhairs,-of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements for IOsattachment for high chairs adapted to be temporarily attached to a high chair.

The objects of my invention are, first, to provide a receptacle located in front and at the sides of the chair, said receptacle de- 1 signed to receive and hold various articles, and second, to provide means whereby the attachment can be easily connected to a chalr and removed when not in use. These objects, together with other objects, readlly apparent to those skilled in the art, I attain by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, although my 1nvention may be embodied in other mechan cal forms, the construction illustrated beingchosen by way of example.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a high chair showing the attachment properly connected w1th parts broken away. F 1g. 2 is a v1ew showing a portion of one of the outer bars of the chair back and illustrating one of the. members of the receptacle frame properly connected. Fig. 3 is a top view of a portion of the receptacle frame and a transverse section of one of the bars of the chair back. Fig. 4; is a transverse section of the lapboard of a chair showing a front view of the receptacle frame. Fig. 5 is a top view of the rreceptacle.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures ofthe drawing.

In the accompanying drawing, 1 represents a chair which is of the usual construction and within itself forms no particular part of the present invention. The chair is referably rovided with the ordinary lapoard 2, w ich is connected to the chair arms 3 inthe usual manner. The receptacle frame is made up of light bars of metal and consists of the chair connecting portions 4 from the outer ends of which the outer receptacle attaching member 5 is extended upward and around in front of the chair proper. The inner receptacle attaching member 6 is connected to the chair attachillustrated in Fig. 4.

to the inner member 0 ing members 4 and extended forward ahd -spaced a suitable distance away from'the outenmember 5 forthe purpose of so spacmg the members that a flexible receptacle m can be attached.

For the purpose of supporting the front or forward portion of the receptacle frame proper, the brackets 7 are provided, which brackets are attached to the innenand outer members of the receptacle frame and to which brackets is attached the cross or supporting bar 8, which supporting bar is designed to rest upon the chair seat as best 0 For the purpose of connecting the rear 7 portion of the receptacle frame the back of the chair is provided witli the screws 9 or their equivalenta tc which, screw members 4 of the frame are connected slots 10, one end of each of the slots being provided with an aperture 11 of suflicient size to allow the head of the screws 9 to pass, after which the members 4 are moved endwise so as to bring the slots 10 under the heads'of the screws 9, 3g saidframe being formed of spring material for the purpose of allowing the members 4 to be moved toward each other to be connected to the chair and then to move outward by the springing action of the members to which the receptacle 12 is attached. The receptacle 12 is formed of flexible material such as cloth of any desired kind and is connected in any convenient and well known manner, but the receptacle 12 should be so attached that itcan be removed for the purpose of washingand for the purpose of providing for thus removin the receptacle the parts.of the frame s ould'be so joined together that they can be easily detached preferably by clamping bolts 13.

It will be understood that by providing the frame and connecting the receptacle 12 as illustrated, said receptacle will be in position to catch any crumbs or-food accidentally 10o dropped by a child and at the same time several toys may be placed in the receptacle and of easy access to the child.

Having fully described myinvention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent,-is v 1. In an attachment for chairs, the combination of a chair, a a receptacle holdingframe consisting of inner and outer members, brackets connected to said inner and outer members and a supporting bar secured the receptacle supporting frame and adapted to rest upon a chair seat and means for connecting the rear receptacle frame to a chair, and a receptacle carried by said frame, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. In an attachment for chairs, the combination of a chair, a receptacle "holding frame consisting of inner and outer members, bracket-s connected to said inner and outer members and a supporting bar secured to the inner member of the receptacle supporting frame and adapted to rest upon a chair seat and 'means for connecting the rear receptacle frame toa chair, and a receptacle detachably connected to the frame, gugstantially as and for the purpose speci- 3. In an attachment for chairs, the combination of a receptacle or frame consisting of inner and outer members consisting 0 spring material, the rear part of said frame adapted to be connected to the back of a chair, a supporting bar, connected to the front or forward portion of said receptacle frame, said supporting bar adapted to rest upon the seat of a chair and a receptacle carmed by the frame substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribedmy name in the presence of two Witnesses.
