Definitions

  • the invention relates to furniture, especially a piece of child furniture, a so-called high-chair, of the type that can be used in two positions and has a frame that, in the form of a unit, is adapted to be placed in two different positions on a base, the two positions preferably being staggered 90 in relation to each other, and to support a seat at a corner of the frame in each of the two positions, and furthermore, of the type that has a table-top corresponding to one of the positions.
  • the object of the invention is to devise a piece of furniture of the type indicated in which the mentioned drawbacks are remedied.
  • This is obtained according to the invention, by the fact that the piece of furniture furthermore has a table-top for the other position, both tabletops being placed substantially in a side plane of the frame with one of the edges offset in relation to the corner in question, Where the seat is placed or can be placed.
  • This piece of furniture may be employed at meals by placing it beside a dinner table. By these means the child has its own table-top during meals, but still is in company with the adults.
  • the table-top is placed in a manner comfortable to the child, and only the childs things are placed on the table-top, and the dinner table will not be dirtied,
  • the two table-tops may be offset in relation to one and the same corner of the frame, and a seat that in a manner per se known is adapted to be placed in two positions, may be adapted to be placed in two such positions in both of which the front edge of the seat is directed away from the corner in question.
  • the seat plate of the seat may, according to the invention be placed pivotable around an axis at its front edge, whereas the rear edge is suspended in a back rest of pliable material, both sides of the seat plate being formed as a seating surface.
  • Such a seat is easy and cheap to produce, and the change-over from one position to the other is easy, and the construction may easily be made in such a manner that there is no danger of an accidental opening of the fastening members of the seat as the seat may be fixedly mounted at the front edge of the seat plate and the top edge of the back rest so that it is held securely.
  • the back rest may, according to the invention, be placed outside the plane of the second table-top in both positions. Hereby a good back rest for the child is obtained as will be seen in the drawings.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a piece of child furniture, seen obliquely from in front and with the piece of furniture in a first position,
