6 Claims. 1 This invention relates to improvements in 3-way baby chairs.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved 3-way baby chair which may be used as a high-chair, a chair for hooking over the I provide a high chair, a vehicle seat back supported chair, or a wheel chair or buggy.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved portable 3-way baby chair including a combined seat and back with wheels secured thereto, and a hooked back portion, to-
gether with adjustable spring projected latch mechanisms for selectively holding said parts when the chair is to be used as a high chair, a vehicle seat back supported chair, or as a wheel chair or buggy.
Another object of the invention is to provide 1 an improved portable 3-way baby chair which will be highly eflicient in operation, and relatively inexpensive to manufacture and produce.
Other objects will appear as the description proceeds.
In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this application,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved 3-way baby chair in position to be used as a,
regular or high chair;
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the improved 3-way chair used as a vehicle seat back supported chair;
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the improved 3-way chair adjusted for use as a Wheel chair r y;
Figure 4 is a rear view of the improved 3-way chair in position to be used as a regular or high chair, and;
Figure 5 is an enlarged detail view, partly broken away and in section of the improved spring projected latch mechanism.
Like characters of reference are used throughout the following specification and the accompanying drawings to designate corresponding parts.
In carrying out the invention, there is provided an improved portable 3-way baby chair including a pair of parallel vertically extending spaced tubular metal rear legs I and 2 Whose upper portions are bent rearwardly to provide the arcuate supporting loop portions 3 and 4, which are integrally connected together by means of the transversely extending rear cross bar 5.
A rigid T-shape back 6 is provided with oppositely disposed end bearing sleeves 1 and 8 which surround the tubular rear legs I and 2, being slidably and adjustably supported thereon.
A pair of inverted U-shaped metal tubular members 9 and H] are provided and support the side arm rails H and I2 and the interconnected front guard rail I3.
Fabric sides l4 and I5 are formed with front and rear loops [6' and I! for positioning over the depending portions of the U-shape metal tubular members '9 and H1, and a fabric seat I8 is secured to the lower edges of the fabric sides It and I5, and also to the lower edge of the rigid back 6. A front dividing fabric strip is secured to the central front edge of the fabric seat i8, and is also secured to the central front edge of the front guard rail 13, thereby providing a spacing strip for separating the legs of an infant when placed within the chair.
The depending front portions of the metal tubular members 9 and i0 form front legs 2! and 22 whose lowermost extremities are bent upward a slight distance and are integrally connected by means of a front cross bar 23.
The depending rear portions of the metal tubular members 9 and Ill form rear legs 24 and 25 which with loop I! thereon are secured to the lower side edges of the back 6 by suitable fasteners 50, and are curved forwardly at their lower ends and support the stub axles 26 and 21 upon which the rubber tired wheels '28 and 29 are rotatably mounted.
The back 6 is formed with a transversely extending recess 30 and with the oppositely disposed side bores 3| and 32 on a common plane with said recess.
Plunger rods 33 and 34 are slidably disposed through bores 35 and 36 connected between the recess 30 and the side bo-res 3| and 32, and have enlarged eyes 31 and 38 on their inner ends, while their outer ends are adapted to be selectively received in the vertically spaced sockets 39, 40 and 4| in the inner surfaces of the rear legs I and 2 for holding the wheels 28 and 29 above the lower ends of said legs, or for holding the same below the ends of the legs I and 2, whereby the chair may be pushed or pulled about as a wheel chair or buggy. The washers 42 are fixed adjacent the outer ends of the rods 33 and elevated, the chair will be used as a straight or high chair.
When it is desired to use the chair in an automobile, the arcuate upper loops 3 and 4 will be hooked over the top or back 44 of the front seat 45 of the automobile (not shown).
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that there has been devised and provided a highly efiicient form of 3-purpose baby chair, which will be relatively inexpensive to manufacture and produce.
While a preferred embodiment of the instant invention has been illustrated and described, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the scope .of the invention thereto, as many minor changes in detail of construction may be resorted to without departure from the spirit of the invention.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A 3-Way chair comprising a pair of vertically extending spaced parallel rear legs having their upper ends formed into arcuate loops and connected together by a cross bar, a rigid back slidably and adjustably supported on said rear legs, inverted U-shaped metal tubular members secured to the edges of said back, fabric sides secured to said tubular members, and a fabric seat secured to said fabric sides and to the bottom of said back.
2. An infants chair comprising a pair of vertically extending spaced parallel rear legs having their upper ends formed into arcuate loops connected together by a cross bar, a rigid back slidably and adjustably supported on said rear legs, inverted U-shape metal tubular members secured to the edges of said back, fabric sides secured to said tubular members, a fabric seat secured to said fabric sides and to the bottom of said back, wheels carried by the depending back portions of said inverted U-shape members, a cross member secured between the depending front portions of said members forming a leg support for the chair.
3. A 3-way chair comprising a pair of vertitically extending spaced parallel rear legs having 55 2,399,792
their upper ends formed into arcuate loops con nected together by a cross bar, a rigid back slidably and adjustably supported on said rear legs, inverted U-shape metal tubular members secured to the edges of said back, fabric sides secured to said tubular members, a fabric seat secured to said fabric sides and to the bottom of said back, wheels carried by depending back portions of said inverted U-shape members, side arm rails carried by the upper edges thereof, a leg spacing fabric strip secured centrally of the forward edge of said fabric seat and to said front guard rail, and a cross member connected between the depending front portions of said inverted U-shape members forming a front leg support for said chair.
4. The subject matter as claimed in claim 3, the rear legs .or depending portions of said inverted U-shape members being curved, stub axles on said curved leg extensions, and rubber tired wheels on said stub axles.
5. The subject matter as claimed in claim 3, spaced locking seats in said rear legs, and resiliently projected locking rods or latches disposed in said chair back adapted to the resiliently secured in said locking seats.
6. A chair construction including a pair of vertically extending spaced parallel standards, means connected between the upper ends of the standards for hanging the same on a support, a back section slidably and adjustably supported on said standards, inverted U-shaped members secured to the opposing edges of the back section and projecting forwardly thereof, flexible sides secured to said members, a flexible seat connected between said flexible sides and to the back, a foot rail connected between the lower ends of the front portions of the U-shaped members, Wheels associated with said U-shaped members, and a guard structure supported on said U-shaped members.
