Abstract

A child's fold-away chair for attachment to a dining chair is made from four pieces of interlocking plastic, e.g. ABS. The three sides 2,2,4 snap into place and base 3 slides into place across the sides and is held at the rear by two securing nuts. The chair is reversible to suit two sizes of child, with one size providing the option of a lipped tray 1. Both of the reversible options contain provision for a belt attachment to a dining chair and securing points for a child's reins. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Fold-away attachment to adult dining chair or equivalent for the use of children This invention relates to a method of allowing children to eat at an adult meal table, combined with a fold-away system for transportation and storage.
Once a child has outgrown a high chair it is frequently too small to transfer directly to an adult dining chair at meal tables. The conventional child booster seat allows the youngster to sit at the meal table in a comfortable manner, and is an aid in the development of table behaviour. Such booster seats are in regular use in many households with children.
They provide safety, if used under adult supervision.
Parents frequently confront problems either on holidays or when visiting households where no booster seats or realistic alternatives are provided, often resorting to cushions which are less satisfactory from a comfort and safety aspect for the child. Adults frequently find difficulty in packing or transporting the conventional child booster seat because of its bulk and awkwardness.
The invention comprises four pieces of interlocking plastic to offer a rigid base for a child to sit at the meal table. It also includes an optional extra of a small tray, attachable at the front, over the child's legs. Three sides of the box snap into place, with the base for the child's bottom sliding into place across the sides, and being held at the rear by the use of two large retaining nuts. The optional front tray is affixed by slotting into two points on the sides. The chair is, with the exception of the tray, reversible, offering two different heights for different sizes of child. The construction is completed by slots on the upper and lower side edges to act as fixing points for a child's reins. A belt slides between slots in the two sides for direct tightening and restrain to a conventional dining chair or equivalent.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 shows the individual pieces of the construction, demonstrating the product as it is intended for packaging, or following subsequent dismantling; Figure 2 illustrates the basic aspects of construction in exploded form; Figure3 shows the chair in position on a dining chair, or equivalent, for a child, with the optional tray in position; Figure 4 is identical to Figure 3, with the exception that the optional tray has been removed; Figure 5 shows the construction reversed to that in Figure 4 for the use of a smaller size child. It also illustrates the belt attachment to the chair and the slots intended as fixing points for a child's reins.
Referring to the drawing, the pieces of the construction are made of ABS. They each have rounded corners and offer projections which are concealed, once the construction is completed. The dimension of the individual pieces in total will fit into an area no greater than 5.5 cm height, 33 cm width and 30 cm depth.
The child's seat is designed to be simple to construct and dismantle, and the method is demonstrated in Figure 2. Each of the components clips into another by method of moulded slots and fastening edges. The part of the construction designed to take the full weight of a child's bottom is further secured by means of two securing nuts, which attach to the threaded pinnacles shown at the points of 3.
The tray, 1 is complete with a 1 millimetre rimmed edge to ease the feeding of a young child. This is affixed by sliding into place in the appropriate position on sides, 2. This is demonstrated in Figure 3, and also shows the belt attachment and holding points for reins.
Figure 5 shows the construction upside-down from that in Figure 3 and Figure 4. The belt, 5 has been moved to the second set of belt slots for attachment to a dining chair or equivalent. There are also further smalier slots in sides, 2 intended as holding points for reins when the construction is this way up.
1. A child's fold-away table chair for attachment to dining chairs or equivalent is a method of gaining additional height for a young child at the meal table, and at the same time allows this facility to be either temporary or easily portable.
2. A child's fold-away table chair for attachment to dining chairs or equivalent as claimed in Claim 1, is able to pack to a height of 5.5 centimetres for storage or transportation.
3. A child's fold-away table chair for attachment to dining chairs or equivalent as claimed in Claim 1 allows for the attachment of the constructed child's chair by means of a belt to an adult dining or equivalent chair.
4. A child's fold-away table chair for attachment to dining chairs or equivalent, as claimed in Claim 3, provides a choice of two positions for the user, with comfortable seat fixing for both positions.
5. A child's fold-away table chair for attachment to dining chairs or equivalent as claimed in Claim 3 and Claim 2 provides a position for an optional lipped tray to ease the feeding of a child by an adult.
6. A child's fold-away table chair for attachment to dining chairs or equivalent as claimed in Claim 1 and Claim 2 provides a rigid seat for a child of up to 20 kilogrammes in weight.
7. A child's fold-away table chair for attachment to dining chairs or equivalent as claimed in Claim 4 and Claim 6 provides attachment points for a child's reins in either reversible position.
8. A child's fold-away table chair for attachment to dining chairs or equivalent as claimed in Claim 7 may be constructed and dismantled as demonstrated in Figure 2 of the accompanying drawings.
