A. S. MEHAREY TRAY-ATTACHMENT FOR DINING CHAIRS Filed March 25, 1925 Patented Oct. 13, 1925.
AN DREW S. MEHAREY, OF SPRINGDALE, PENNSYLVANIA.
PATENT OFFICE.
TRAY ATTACHMENT FOR DINING CHAIRS.
I Applicatitn filed March 25, 1925, Serial No. 18,170.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that AND EW S. MEHAREY, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Springdale, in the count Y of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, has invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tray Attachments for Dining Chairs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an "attachment for chairs, and it has for its object to provide a device of a simple and inexpensive nature by virtue of which an ordinary chair may be made to serve the purposes of a high-chair.
Further objects and'advantages of the invention will be set forth in the detailed description which follows.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a side elevationof a. chair having the attachment applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the device.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the structure, and,
Fig. 4 is detailed perspective view of'the attachment with the tray, proper, omitted.
Like numerals designate corresponding parts in all of the figures of the drawing.
Referring to the drawing 5 designates the back, 6 the seat, and 7 the legs of a chair of ordinary construction. As before stated, the invention resides more particularly in an attachment for a chair of this character, said attachment comprising a block 8 carrying a depending. threaded stem 9. A plate 10 is threaded upon the stem 9 and carries a binding screw 11 by which the block 8 may be bound upon the seat 6 of the chair.
The provision of the threaded stem 9'and plate 10 renders it possible to adjust the clamp constituted by the block and the screw 11 to accommodate seats of varying thicknesses. The block 8 is vertically bored, as indicated at 12, to receive a rod 13. A set-screw 14 serves to bind this rod in adjusted position. The upper end of rod 13 carries a spider 15, the several arms of which are pierced, as indicated at 16, for the passage of screws 17 by which a tray 18 may be mounted upon the rod. The shape of this tray is best illustrated in Fig. 3 from which it will be seen that its inner edge is of a concave formation, so that if a child be seated upon the seat 6 of the chair and the tray be swung upon the pivot constituted by the rod 13, to the position illustrated in Fig. 3, the rearwardly projecting arms 18 of the tray will partly enclose the child to prevent it from falling out. l/Vhen the tray is-to be swung, the set-screw 14 is loosened and after the tray has been swung to the position illustrated in Fig. 3, the setscrew 14: is tightened to hold the tray securely in. place.
Fromv the foregoing description it will be seen that the attachment herein. shown and described provides means of a simple and inexpensive nature, by which an ordinary dining chair may be converted into a highchair, at least to the extent of being provided with a tray which will confine a small child and will provide a support upon which food or toys may be placed.
When the chair is not to be used as a seat for a child the attachment may be easily and quickly removed by merely loosening the binding screw 11.
It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise construction set forth but that it includes within its purview, whatever changes fairly come within the terms or the spirit of the appended claim.
Having described my invention, what I claim is:
An attachment of the character described, for the purpose of converting an ordinary dining chair into a childs chair, comprising, in combination, a block having a horizontal base portion and an inner vertically elongated portion, the whole adapted to lie above the seat of a chair, a rigid bolt depending from the outer end of the horizontal portion, aplate threaded upon said bolt, a. binding screw carried by said plate adapted to engage the underside of the chair seat,
a rod mounted for vertical and horizontal turning movement in the vertically elongated portion of the block, a set screw for binding said rod in its adjusted position and a horizontal tray having a concave inner edge, eccentrically mounted upon the upper end of said rod.
In testimony whereof I afiix my si -nature.
' ANDREW s. MEHAItEY.
