Another object* is t'o"desi'gn infants chair,
the rear seat section= off whichwisf pivotally connected to the front section toifacilitatei-:the placing or removal of. the infant. in.. the. chair.
A further object isV to provide "a'" lightweight* neat-appearing chair structure that canfber'eaidily handled and applied,4 ari'dfwhich canbe easily v andi economically. manufactune'di and assembled.
A-f-urther.object.still.istoiprovide acl-'iaiiif-having. a telescopic connection intermediate!- its' length so that it can be adjusted to suit various types and designs of supports.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter more lfully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, size, proportion and minor details of construction without departing from the spirit or sacricing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a side-elevational view of my infants chair showing it attached to a table which is shown in section.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view with the table omitted, the broken lines showing the seat section of the frame swung to facilitate placing and/ or removal of the infant from the chair.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged, fragmentary view illustrating the telescopic connection.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged, detail showing the seat locking member.
Fig. 5 is a transverse-sectional view taken on the une 5 5 of Fig. a.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged, sectional, plan view showing the hinge connection.
Refer now more particularly to the accompanying drawing in which I have shown one embodiment of my invention.
The frame proper is preferably made up of square tubing formed of one of the lighter metals such as magnesium or the like. the front end comprising a horizontally disposed section 5 bent vertically atlthe front-1 end-- as-'fat thence being fbenthorizontalllyrand transversely off-the frame ias atY-'Lftliissectinl 'engaging thelower'facetof aA table" T or other* support;rv and? a' non-metallic sleeve Sis-providedthere'onland'is.formedf'of rubber, fabric, or similar materiali totr prevent-1 slippage andi marring of the surface' with which it comes* intoco'ntact.
-1 A`- telescopic connection 9- is provided intermediate the' length' of the chair frame; the member as slipwn.
'The' horizontal' section Il)V is bent 'upwardly as shown at"I3; thence horizontally'asiat I4, thence extending transversely as at I5', thence vrearward- A'lyaisatlto forma sideparallel to the'section IT, t'lienceL transversely and beingweld'ed tothe section I4' tb' form a rigid structure on which a tray I1 can be placed, non-metallic sleeves I8 being provided on the sections I4 and I6 to eliminate marring and/or slippage.
The seat frame is also formed of tubing and comprises a pair of spaced-apart side frames I9 and 20 respectively, connected at their lower front ends by means of the horizontally disposed bar member 2|. A panel 22 connects the rear ends of the side frames. A seat 23 spans the frames I9 and 20 and is secured thereto in any approved manner, spaced-apart tube members or strips 24 connecting the upper and lower sections 25 and 26 of the side frames in the conventional manner.
The seat frame is hingedly connected to the front section I3, the vertical section 21 being disposed in parallel relation thereto to permit it to swing as clearly indicated in broken lines in Fig 2 of the drawing, spaced-apart hinges 28 being provided as shown.
A strap 29, formed of spring steel or similar material, is riveted to the frame section 26 as shown, the forwardly projecting end of the strap being disposed in contact with the member III, and a U-shaped section 30 is provided on the end as shown, said section hooking over the section I0 to secure the seat frame in position and in proper alignment with the front end 5 of the frame.
The tray is easily removable for washing and cleaning, and the infant can be easily placed in or removed from the chair. There is free and unobstructed access to the seat, and there are no bars or obstructions in which the infants legs may become entangled.
While in the present instance I have shown the frames formed of square tubing, it will, of course, be obvious that these may be tubular or any other shape desired.
From the foregoing, it will be understood that I have perfected a simple, convenient and economical lightweight chair that can be readily attached and/or detached from a support and in which the infant may be readily placed and/or removed.
What I claim is:
1. An infants chair of the class described comprising, a frame adapted to be detachably mounted on a table, the front end section of the frame being formed with a horizontally disposed leg section bent at the front end to extend vertically and bearing against the under side of the table, a U-shaped frame section overhanging the table and bearing on the upper face thereof, a.
. -seat frame hingedly connected to the front section, and resilient means on the seat' frame and engageable with the front end section of the frame for securing the front section and the seat frame in aligned relation.
2. An infants chair of the class described comprising, a front frame adapted to be detachably mounted on -a table and including a forwardly projecting horizontal leg having an end section bent to extend vertically adapted to bear against the lower face of said table, a rear frame having spaced side frames hingedly connected at one side only to said front frame, a seat in said rear frame, and means on the rear frame and detachably engageable with the forwardly projecting leg to limit swinging of frames in one direction to aligned positions.
3. The combination as defined in claim 2 in which the detachable leg-engaging means comprises an open C-shaped clamp adapted to re- 4 leasably embrace the forwardly projecting leg at a point intermediate its length.
4. The combination dened in claim 2 in which the forwardly projecting leg comprises an extensible section, and means for securing said leg in adjusted positions.
5. The combination defined in claim 2 in which the front frame includes a rectangular portion overhanging the rear portion of the forwardly projecting leg and bears on the upper face of the table support, and a tray mounted in said U- l shaped portion.
6. An infants chair of the class described comprising, a rigid main frame including a horizontally disposed tray supporting structure engageable on'the upper face of a nat supporting structure,r horizontally ldisposed forwardly projecting members below said tray support and forming 'parto'f said main frame, a vertically disposed section on the free end of said forwardly pro- `,-jecting members for engagement with the lower face of said support, a seat frame secured to said main frame and including spaced side frames, a back panel spanning and connecting said side frames, said seat frame being hingedly connected, at its one side, to said main frame to swing about said hinge connection and facilitate placing in or removing an occupant from said chair.
