Filed Aug 20, 1945 INVENTOR.
Hana/5E, Dace I Patented Oct. 19, 1948 UNITED STATES ATENT ()FFI C E INFANTS CHAIR Francis E. Ducey, Midland, Mich.
Application August 20, 1945, Serial No. 611,547
Claims. (Cl. 155-78) This invention relates to infants chair, and more particularly to a chair which is easily and quicldy adaptable for attachment to 'a table or other article of household furniture.
One of the prime objects of the invention is to design an inexpensive, durable, lightweight chair which can be readily attached to a table without the use of brackets, bolts, or other securing means, and which is maintained in extended position in lateral relation thereto.
Another object is to design a practical, nontiltable infants chair for use in homes, hotels, restaurants, and similar establishments, which occupies but a limited space when not in use, and which can be readily attached to any conventional design of table or support.
A further object is to provide a chair which is preferably, but not necessarily, formed of lightweight metal tubing, such as magnesium, and which can be readily manufactured and assembled.
Still a further object is to design a chair which, when in position, maintains the occupant at proper height with relation to the face of the table regardless of the height of the table or support on which it is mounted, and which includes a pivotally hung step or footrest for resting the occupants feet when seated in the chair.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, said invention then consists of the means hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, the annexed drawing, and following description setting forth in detail certain means and one mode of carrying out the invention, such means and mode illustrating, however, but one of various ways in which the principle of the invention may be used. I
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a side-elevational view of my infants chair, illustrating it attached to a conventional table which is shown in section.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view with the table omitted.
Fig. 3 is an isometric view of the chair.
In the example of the invention illustrated in the drawing, the numeral 5 indicates the horizontally disposed, spaced-apart, side members of a preferably tubular frame, the forward ends of which are bent upwardly as indicated at 5, and thence over as at l to form a continuous, rigid construction. A tubular rubber or fabric sleeve 8 is provided on the section I for engagement with the underside of the table T.
The rear ends of the frame members 5 are formed substantially similar to the front end,
being bent upwardly as at 9, and thence extending over and forwardly at a slight downward angle as at In, with the forward end H bent U-shaped to form a continuous frame.
Either rubber or fabric strips or sleeves I2 are provided on the members 10, and a metal tray I3 is mounted in the U-shaped end of the frame structure, and this tray can be fixed or removable as desired. The edges of the tray I3 are turned as at [4 to embrace the U-shaped end of the frame, and is dished to form a receptacle in which food can be placed, the sleeves or strips l2 resting on the face of the table when the chair is mounted in position, so that it in no manner mars or injures the finish on the table.
A seat 15 spans and is secured to the rear end of the frame members 5, and side and back panels l6 and l 1 respectively form the walls of the; chair and are also secured to the frame members in any desired manner, these panel members being also preferably formed of lightweight sheet metal so that the entire structure will be of minimum weight and easily manufactured.
A pivotally hung step forms a part of the chair structure, and comprises a preferably sheet metal step It having straps I9 connected to the opposite edges thereof, and screws or bolts 20 serve to pivotally connect the straps to the frame members 5. This step is vertically adjustable as 0 shown, a plurality of openings 2| being provided in the edges of the step and straps respectively, and bolts 22 serve to secure the step in adjusted position. The pivotal connection also permits the step to be swung up into the frame when the chair is not in use.
To mount the chair on a table, the front end is tilted down and moved inward beneath the table until the U-shaped upper section of the frame overhangs the face of the table. It is then lowered so that the sleeves l2 engage the face of the table, and the sleeve 8 bears against the bottom surface of the table, these sleeves eliminat ing noise or marring of the contacting surfaces,
' and preventing slippage or shifting of the chair on the table.
section loosely engageable with and bearing against the underside of a table, the rear end of the legs being bent upwardly and over to form a horizontally disposed overhanging section connected at its forward end, said forward end section bearing on the face of the table at a point spaced horizontally from the point of bearing of the upwardly bent legs, and a seat provided on the legs at the rear end of the main frame.
2. A construction as recited in claim 1 in which side and back panels connect the rear ends of the legs and horizontally disposed overhanging section, and the rear end of the main frame respectively, adjacent the seat.
3. A combination as defined in claim 1 in Which the frame is formed of a single strip of lightweight tubing with non-metallic sleeves provided on the table engaging portions to prevent skidding or marring of the table.
4. An infants chair attachable to a table and the like comprising, a tubular frame including transversely spaced, main frame members, the forward ends of which are bent upwardly and connected horizontally to form a raised section, the rear ends being also turned upwardly and thence horizontally and connected to form a U- shaped end overhanging the main frame member, a seat mounted on the rear sections of the main frame members, back and side panels connecting the main frame end members and the overhanging frame, and a tray mounted on the U-shaped overhanging frame end.
5. A construction as defined in claim '4 in which a step is vertically adjustable and is pivotally hung from the main frame members.
