Be it known that 14.', JoHN KOPP, of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and improved Combined Baby Chair nndTable; and I do hereby declare'thnt the following is a. full, clear, und exavct description of the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, making a portion of this specilicationfin whichn I Figure 1 is a. front elevation of my invention when used as a. highchair Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same, represented as-withna small portion broken away in order toshow the manner of locking the choir fast upon the table when used as a. high chair.

i Figure 3 is a. side elevation of the same, showing the relative position of the chairinnd table when the.

chair is used us n low choir. I- A Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding pan-ts in all the figures. i i This invention consists in a. reversible chair hinged to thetop of asutable low table in such manner that when placed `in one position it will constitute a low chair, sosituuted in frontof the scid table that the child being employed in the saine marineros thosein'common use.

To enable others to understand the nature and construction of my invention I will proceed4 `to describe it with reference to the drm/rings. l

The reversible chaiyis shown at A, and a represents the bottom thereof, each oifxthe two opposite sides of the seid bottom bcing'of such shape as to constitute a suitable seat when brought uppermost, as the choir is i piace/.l in one position or the other, ns will be `hereinafter fully set forth; and the posts, b band transverse liars, c c', which constitute respectively the legs and cross-bracesof-the chair, when in one position, forming the bock and arms thereof, when in the other or reversed posi-tion the back of the chair being thus indicated at i I; e. The table is represented at B, and may be of any suitable construction, but preferably with a rectangular top, d. One end of each of the forward posts, b', of the `chnir is hinged to the front edge of the top, d, by suitable hinges, e, as shown more clearly in tig. 1, in s ueh manner that when the chair is turned downward with one end upon the floor itwll be situated immediately in front of the table, B, ond constitute 4a low chair, as represented in iig. 3, und when turned upward around `the hinges, e, the opposite end` thereof will 'he made to rest upon the top, d', 0f the table, as shown in figs. 1 and 2, those parts whichin the first instance formed the lower portion of the chair; A, constituting in this the upper portion of the sume, and the said chair being by i these means supported upon the table and raised up toe. height equal or corresponding to that of the high chairs in common use, in the place of which, when thus situated upon the table, B, it muy be employed, the chair, A, being kept fromtilting forward by a pin,f, which passes through a suitable holo formed in the back-piece, d', und has its inner end tted into a suitnble socket or recess formed in the back of the chair, 'as shown at z'in iig. 2. When the chair iS in the position shown in iig. 3, in order to be used as n. low chair, as hereinafter described, the child or infant when placed therein is prevented from falling or escaping therefrom by the tnble,

B, situated immediately in front of the sume, and when placed upon the table, B, and thus constituting a high chair, as hereinbefore fully scf forth, is employed to hold the infant in the same manner as `those ordinarily v in use; by which means thc-'use of the chair is rendered'x'nuch -more convenient and economical `than suchvordinnry chairs, inasmuch as it is capable-of serving the double. purpose of a high and low chair, as herein specified. i f i What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, itl--4 4 i The combination of the reversible chair with the table, whereby the c llar may be used either asohigh or low chair, substantially as herein set fdrth. v

i JOHN KOPP.
