1 Claim.
, 1 This invention relates to improved constructions in high chairs whether of the rigid, holding, or convertible type.
Objects of the invention reside in the provision of a high chair havin supporting legs adjacent the lower ends of which there is provided a rigid strengthening solid member secured to each leg and between the legs, this member being used in the convertibletype of high chair as a play table, and including a frame enclosing the space between the legs and above the member in upright condition of the chair, this frame providin an enclosed storage area or container for the child's toys or for containing any objects desired so that the same will not fall out, and providing a convenient place to deposit articles usually scattered about on the floor by the child.
Further objects of the invention include the provision of a high chair having a flat member secured at its edges to the legs of the chair just above the floor and a strengthening and rigidifying frame in combination therewith, said frame also being secured to the legs and forming side walls for a chest or container of which the flat member is the bottom.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear hereinafter.
In the drawings the figure is a perspective view of a high chair embodying the invention.
As shown in the figure, the present invention is illustrated as applied to a rigid, non-folding high chair, but it is to be understood that the invention is equally applicable to other known types of chairs of the class described.
The present high chair is provided with a seat l mounted on front legs I2 and rear legs M, the latter extending above the seat to form a back IS. The seat and back may assume any construction or appearance desired, and may be pivoted to provide a dual-purpose or convertible chair as is well-known in the art. A tray l8 may also be provided and this tray may be rigid, pivoted, or slidable, as desired in any of the well-known forms.
It will be noted that the legs I2 and it are not vertical but incline outwardly toward the floor, and this gives a more stable construction and a wider space between the legs near the floor. This fact is taken advantage of by providing a member just above the floor and connected to each of the legs by any secure means such as notching and doweling, or metal fasteners such as screws. Member 20 is solid and may comprise a flat sheet secured to a surrounding cleat 22 for additional strength and rigidity. In the figure the cleat i not liable to escape.
is shown as of two parts, a front straight member, and a U-shaped connecting member, but forms of construction may be used. In any case, a broad, flat, rigid supporting surface is thus provided, and this surface may be used as a table in the convertible type of chair if desired.
Just above the-member 20 there are provided a series of cleats 24 and 26, similar to that at 22 and further strengthening and rigidifyingthe chair. These cleats are progressively smaller in an upward direction conforming to the outline of the legs and provide side walls for a storage compartment or container of which the member 20 is the bottom. The top of this container is smaller than the member 20 and thus the contents are This construction provides a convenient place to store and keep children's toys or other objects, and it is very simple for tossing such objects in the container for keeping the same handy and oil the floor, where small children are apt to scatter them.
The cleat construction is not necessary to the invention inasmuch as solid walls may also be utilized in place of the cleats, but in any event further strengthening cleats such as shown at 28 may also be employed.
Having thus described our invention and the advantages thereof, we do not wish to be limited to the details herein disclosed, otherwise than is set forth in the claim, but what we claim is:
A high chair comprising a seat and elongated supporting legs, a solid sheet of rigid material secured to the legs adjacent the free ends thereof, and strengthening means for the legs secured thereto just above the said sheet, said means forming side walls for a storage compartment of which the said sheet forms the bottom, the side walls terminating vertically at points substantially spaced from the seat.
