Description

ARRANGEMENT IN A CHAIR, ESPECIALLY A CHAIR FOR CHILDREN
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to an arrangement in a chair, especially a chair for children, comprising a back support, a chair seat and a foot support, said chair seat and foot support being clampable at adjustable levels above the base of the chair.
Prior art
In connection with prior art chairs for children, for example of the type known from NO 132.782 (Peter Opsvik), there is used a bridle solution in order to render the baby using the child's chair sufficient support, in order to avoid that the baby falls out from the chair.
However, larger babies or small children can twist around and lift the knee up to the inner side of the bridle, and can thereby be able to free themselves completely of the bridle and stand up on the seat. This involves a risk for the baby or the little child to fall down from the chair, or the disadvantage that the baby-sitter must be aware of this circumstance whenever the chair is used.
Such a bridle solution also involves a problem when put¬ ting the baby in position on the seat and in the bridle, since there often will be a close fit with an affixed bridle, which involves that the feet often must be pressed underneath the bridle and between the front edge of the seat. Correspondingly, it may be difficult to wriggle the baby or the little child out of the chair, especially if the baby is heavily dressed, and because the distance between the bridle and the front edge of the seat can be small. Disclosure of the invention
The objective of the present invention is to the fact of obviating the previously discussed problems with which prior art bridle solutions are hampered.
In other words the invention is primarily to the fact of giving instructions for an arrangement in a chair, espe¬ cially a chair for children, wherein the child can be fastened in an adjustable and comfortable manner without the risk of later being able to free himself from the attachment.
Secondly, the invention is to the fact of providing an arrangement in a chair, especially a chair for children, wherein the child can be put down onto the chair seat and then without having an affixed bridle making the putting into position and the lifting therefrom of the baby com¬ plicated and difficult and otherwise uncomfortable for the baby.
These and other objects are achieved according to the present invention in a chair of the type as stated in the preamble, which is characterized in that from the front edge of the chair seat there extends upwardly a support¬ ing/holding means serving as supporting means for a child on the chair seat and as a holding means for attachment harness.
Basically, such a supporting/holding means renders free access for putting the baby in position onto the chair seat from both sides, whereafter between said support¬ ing/holding means and the back support of the chair there may be attached attachment harness which appropriately can be adjusted to be relatively close to the body of the baby without being uncomfortable, at the same time as it will be difficult for the baby to leave the chair seat. In some embodiments the attachment harness or straps can be permanently attached to said supporting/holding means, whereas the free ends of the straps can comprise snapping means which can be inserted into slits in the back sup- port. Said straps can then be tightened and loosened in the snapping mountings.
Alternatively, said straps could more or less be perma¬ nently attached to the back support, whereas the oppo- sites end could comprise snapping devices which can snap into appropriate openings in the supporting/holding means arranged at the front edge of said seat.
Further advantages and features relating to the present invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the appended drawings, as well as from the attached patent claims.

Fig. 12 is a variant of Fig. 6, wherein a child is posit- ioned in user position using an attachment harness in¬ cluding shoulder straps. Detailed description of embodiments
In Figures 1-3 which are perspective front views of the upper portion of a chair, and in Fig. 4 which illustrates the chair as seen obliquely from the rear, especially a chair for children which is generally designated by refe¬ rence numeral 1 , the chair 1 itself comprises a back support 2, and a chair seat 3, as well as a foot support 4, said chair seat 3 and foot support 4 being adapted to be clamped at adjustable levels above the base of the chair, for example a not illustrated floor.
From the front edge 3a of the chair seat 3 there extends upwardly a supporting/holding means 6 which partly serves as a supporting means for a child which is to be placed on the chair seat 3, and partly as a holding means for one or more attachment harnesses.
In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1-4 the support- ing/holding means 6 is provided with a substantially horizontal portion 6a extending along the bottom side of the chair seat 3 and appropriately being attached to the seat 3, and which at the front edge 3a of the chair seat 3 merges into a substantially vertically extending portion 6b, which at the top comprises a transverse portion 6c provided with appropriate slits or narrow openings 6n for threading therethrough an attachment har¬ ness 7.
Said attachment harness 7 is, in turn, at its free portions 7a and 7b, respectively, provided with attach¬ ment means, 8a and 8b, respectively, for attachment at the back support of the chair. Such an attachment of the attachment harness 7 can appropriately be carried out by means of attachment means 8a, 8b of the snap type, such snapping means 8a, 8b being attachable in slits 2a, 2d provided in the back support 2. It is to be understood that the back support 2 can here be provided with four slits 2a-2d or openings, which renders an adjustable clamping effect towards the waist portion of the user, depending on which openings of slits are used for the attachment harness 7.
By choosing slits 2b, 2c in the back support 2 closest to each other, said attachment harness 7 can be tightened more closely to the waist area of the chair to be placed in the chair seat 3, whereas by choosing the two outer¬ most slits 2a, 2d of the back support the attachment harness 7 will be adapted to a larger child or a less tightened clamping effect towards the waist area of the user.
It is to be understood that said attachment means 8a, 8b which are provided at the ends of the attachment harness 7, can be adapted for tightening and loosening of the attachment harness 7 itself, which specifically appears from Fig. 5, wherein is illustrated that the end portions 7a, 7b of the attachment harness 7 itself is pulled tightly rearwardly through the associated attachment means 8a, 8b and through the corresponding slits 2a, 2d, wherein said attachment means 8a, 8b are affixed.
In Figures 6-8 there is illustrated a second embodiment of an arrangement in a chair 101 according to the in¬ vention, there here being illustrated a supporting/hold¬ ing means 106 extending from the front edge 103a of a chair seat 103 for at the top merging into a transverse portion 106c which at each side portion have attached thereto the one end of an attachment harness 107a and 107b, respectively, the opposite ends of said attachment harness carrying an individual attachment means, for example similar to what has been illustrated with refe¬ rence to Figures 1-5, which attachment means are affixed to the back support 102 of the chair, for example in the same manner as discussed previously.
Besides, Fig. 6 illustrates a baby or a little child 109 which is in sitting position on the chair seat 103, said two attachment harnesses 107a and 107 appropriately being attached around the waist portion of the child, said attachment portions being positioned relatively close to the body without being uncomfortable, but at the same time being enough tightened so that the child 109 is not able to raise from the seat 103 on its own and thereby to risking the falling off from the chair 101.
In Fig. 7 it is illustrated how one attachment harness 107a is released from the back support 102, which involves that the child 107 in a simple manner can be lifted off the seat 103 by a larger person 110. Since the one attachment harness 107a has been released from the back support 102, the child 109 would easily be pulled off the chair seat 103, and the same situation will appear when lifting the child 109 onto the seat 103, it being understood that the lifting of the child 109 onto the seat can also take place at the same time as also the second attachment harness 107b has been released from the back support 102, see Fig. 1. The arrangement allows for the person lifting the child to avoid the lifting of the child high up from the seat, which involves lesser stress for the lifter.
In Fig. 8 there is illustrated the same details as in Fig. 6, apart from the fact that the two attachment har¬ nesses 107a and 107b, respectively have been affixed in the two slits 102b and 102c of the back support 102, which are closest to each other, which involves that the tightening effect towards the waist area of the user will be adapted to a child of a smaller size than what has been illustrated in Fig. 6, or that the tightening effect will be more pronounced in relation thereto. Here, the supporting/holding means can be made in plastic, for example injection moulded plastic.
In Figures 9 and 10 there is illustrated a perspective view of the upper portion of a chair 201 comprising a further embodiment of an arrangement according to the invention. The chair 201 is also here provided with a back support 202 and a chair seat 203, as well as a sup¬ porting/holding means 206 which is attached to the bottom side of the chair seat 203 at a lower portion 206a, which merges into a substantially vertical portion 206b, which at the top is provided with at least one side opening 212a, into which an attachment mountings 208a of an attachment harness 207a can be affixed, the second end 213a of said attachment harness 207a being affixed to the back support 202 of the chair. Appropriately, said sup¬ porting/holding means 206 can be provided with a second side opening 212b, into which an attachment mountings 208b of a second attachment harness 207b can be attached, the second end 213b of said attachment harness 207b being attached to the back support 202 of the chair, which together renders a substantially T-shaped supporting means.
In Fig. 11 there is illustrated a variant of the embodi¬ ment according to Figures 1-3, see specifically Fig. 3, the attachment harness 307 itself here being provided with shoulder straps 307x and 307y, respectively, which at the front are held together by a transverse strap 307z. Besides, in Fig. 11 there are used the same refe¬ rence numerals as in Figures 1-3.
In Fig. 12 there is illustrated a variant of fig. 6, wherein a child 409 has been placed in a user position on the seat 103 of the chair 101, there being applied two attachment harnesses 107a and 107b which at their first ends are affixed to the substantially T-shaped support- ing/holding means 106, and which at their second ends are affixed in the back support 102 in appropriate openings 102a, 102d thereof, whereas said harnesses 107a and 107b are provided with shoulder straps 407x and 407y which at the front are held together by a transverse strap 407z. Besides, in Fig. 12 there are used the same reference numerals as in Fig. 6-8.
It is to be understood that said shoulder straps can be detachable, but during use they rendering a further security for keeping the child in position on the seat of the child's chair.
It is to be understood that all of the illustrated em- bodiments of said supporting/holding means can be of a substantially rigid structure, but of somewhat resilient material, such that the child using the chair can be attached in a tightened but somewhat resilient and ap¬ propriately comfortable manner.
Although the substantially T-shaped portion of the sup¬ porting/holding means is shaped such that the child is kept in position and prevents any forward sliding there¬ of, at the same time as the top of said T constitutes an appropriate abutment for the child's upper body part. Further, it is to be understood that the illustrated configurations of said supporting/holding means can be attached to the chair seat in any appropriate manner, but preferably all variants of shapes for said support- ing/holding means may comprise a portion extending along the bottom side of the chair seat and being attached thereto, which attachment portion at the front edge of the chair seat merges into a substantially vertically upwardly extending portion which at the top portion is adapted to be functioning both as a supporting means for a child on the chair seat as well as a holding means for adjustable attachment harness or straps. It is to be understood that said supporting/holding means should allow for detachment from the chair when the child has reached a certain age and no longer requires support.
