PATENT OFFICE.
or OILDALE, CALIFORNIA;
ATTACHMENT FOR HIGH CHAIRS FOR BABIES.
Application filed January 24, 1921. Serial No. 439,460.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Tnnssrn V. FINNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oildale, in the county of Kern and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for High Chairs for Babies, of which the following is a specification, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to improvements in attachments for high chairs for babies, and more particularly to an attachment for high chairs which are provided w1th the usual pivoted tray attachment. I
In the type. of high chair above identified, the tray is usually secured in the hQIlZOIItZLl position by a suitable form of latch whlch forms a receptacle for placing'before the child occupying the chair articles of food or amusement. The space between the side of the chair and the tray in these chairs is usually sufficient to permit the child to slide out under the tray with the result that children often fall from the chair and are injured. Another difliculty which presents itself in this structure is the fact that 1f the tray is not properly fastened the child moving around may elevate the same and catch its fingers between the tray and the support.
An important object of this invention is to provide a device which will prevent the child from slipping from the chair beneath the tray and which will likewise prevent elevation of the tray.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent throughout the course of the following description:
In the accompanying drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, and wherein like reference characters designate v like parts throughout:
is supported by the arms 12 of the chair.
In accordance with my invention, I se-' cure to the forward surface of the tray and to the sides thereof, the upper end of a sheet of flexible material which is preferably of suitable strength, such as canvas, heavy muslin or the like. This sheet is provided with leg openings 14 through which the legs of the child extend while occupying the chair, the edges of the openings being suitably bound, as at 15, to prevent galling. The edges of the flexibleelement 13 are preferably likewise bound, as indicated at 16.
- The flexible element may be secured to the tray 1n any desired manner, as for example by meaans of battens. The lower end of the flexible element is secured to the under surface of the seat by an adjustable attachment, shown in the present instance as comprismg a buckle 18 secured to the under surface of the seat and coacting with the strap 19 secured to the lower end of the flexible element.
It will be obvious that where my attachment is employed with a high chair, not only 1s the slipping of the child from the chair between the tray and the seat rendered impossible, but the tightening of the flexible element likewise prevents. rotation of'the tray in such a manner as to allow the child to get its fingers caught between the support for the tray and the tray. It will likewise be obvious that the construction of my invention, as hereinbefore set forth, merely constitutes one specific embodiment thereof, and that many changes are possible without materially departing from the spirit of my invention. I, accordingly, do not limit myself to the specific construction of the same as hereinbefore set forth, except as so limited by the subjoined claim.
What I claim is:
An attachment, for high chairs embodying the usual pivotal tray, support for the pivotal tray when in horizontal position and a seat, comprising a pliable member having its upper end permanently secured to the sides of the forward edge of the tray and its lower end detachably secured to the under surface of the seat, said pliable member being provided with openings for the reception of the legs of the child occupying the chair, said pliable member when detachably secured to the under surface of the seat preventing pivotal movement of the tray.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
TRESSIE v. FINNEY. I
