Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority from provisional U.S. application Ser. No. 61/383,326 entitled “Adjustable Booster Seat,” which was filed on Sep. 15, 2010 and is herein incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- Various embodiments of the present invention described herein generally relate to an adjustable booster seat for a child and, in particular, to an adjustable booster seat having a child support with an adjustable height and tilt angle.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Children's booster seats are commonly used to provide an elevated seating surface for a child. For example, many booster seats are configured to be placed upon an adult chair in order to provide a seating surface that is better suited for supporting a child and elevated above the seating surface of the adult chair. Such booster seats are often used when feeding a child as it is desirable for the child to be seated in an elevated position that is nearer to the surface of a dining table or more easily accessible by a parent. However, the preferred position for a child during feeding can change as the child matures. For example, the preferred seating position for an infant may be relatively high to accommodate the infant's short height and may be reclined as the infant many be unable to sit upright in a chair. Likewise, the preferred seating position for a toddler may be lower to accommodate the toddler's taller height and less reclined as the toddler is able to sit upright.
- In order to provide a variable seating position for children of different ages and sizes, more recent booster seats have been configured such that their height and recline angle can be adjusted. For example, U.S. Publication No. 2010/0181808 discloses a seat configured to swivel, recline, and raise to accommodate a child during feeding. However, existing booster seats provide such variable seating positions through the use of large, complex seat repositioning mechanisms. To accommodate these mechanisms, existing booster seats are often excessively wide, making them difficult to fit on certain chairs (e.g., adult chairs having armrests). In addition, the complexity of these seat repositioning mechanisms makes the booster seats costly to manufacture, difficult to use, heavier to carry, and less reliable.
- Accordingly, there is a need in the art for an improved adjustable children's booster seat that incorporates a simple, low-cost, reliable, lightweight, and easy to use mechanism for adjusting the seating position of the booster seat.
- Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable children's booster seat. According to various embodiments, the adjustable booster seat comprises a child support configured for supporting a child, and a frame configured for resting on a support surface and suspending the child support above the support surface. The frame comprises one or more vertically adjustable arms operatively connected to lateral sides of the child support such that the child support can rotate about a substantially horizontal axis of rotation. The booster seat further comprises at least one tilt control device configured to be actuated by a user between a secured configuration and an adjustable configuration. The tilt control device permits the child support to be rotated about the horizontal axis of rotation when in the adjustable configuration and prevents the child support from being rotated about the horizontal axis of rotation when in the secured configuration. The booster seat further comprises one or more height control devices configured to be actuated by a user between a secured configuration and an adjustable configuration. The one or more height control devices permit the vertically adjustable arms to be moved upwardly and downwardly with respect to the frame when in the adjustable configuration and prevent the vertically adjustable arms from moving downwardly with respect to the frame when in the secured configuration.
- Various other embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable children's booster seat comprising a child support configured for supporting a child; a frame configured for resting on a support surface and suspending the child support above the support surface, the frame comprising one or more vertically adjustable arms operatively connected to lateral sides of the child support, and one or more height control devices configured to be actuated by a user between a secured configuration and an adjustable configuration. In various embodiments, the one or more height control devices permit the vertically adjustable arms to be moved upwardly and downwardly with respect to the frame when in the adjustable configuration and prevent the vertically adjustable arms from moving downwardly with respect to the frame when in the secured configuration.

However, according to various other embodiments,child support 20 may comprise any suitable child support (e.g., a frame suspending a fabric seating surface) capable of being secured to theframe 10 as described herein. - In the illustrated embodiment, the frame's
base 102 is a generally rigid platform configured for resting on a support surface (e.g., the surface of a chair) and providing a stable support base for the remaining components of thebooster seat 5. As described in greater detail herein, thebase 102 also defines a plurality ofstrap connection points 104, each of which comprises one or more apertures through which a securing strap can be threaded and attached to thebase 102. In addition, as shown in the rear view ofFIG. 6 , thebase 102 defines atransport handle 106 configured to be gripped by a user when transporting thebooster seat 5. In addition, in certain embodiments, thebase 102 may be positioned on a rotating track, or other rotation mechanism, in order to enable a user to selectively rotate thechild support 20 about a substantially vertical axis of rotation. - The frame's
upright members 110 extend upwardly from lateral sides of thebase 102 and are generally configured to support the verticallyadjustable arms 120 and, thereby, thechild support 20. According to various embodiments, theupright members 110 may be separate components affixed to thebase 102, or may be formed with the base 102 as a single molded part. In the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , the frame'supright members 110 have a length greater than their width, providing a relatively thin profile. In addition, theupright members 110 are positioned adjacent the lateral edges of thebase 102. As such, theframe 10 is narrow profile with a reduced width in at least the areas of theframe 10 likely to be adjacent the armrests of a chair on which thebooster seat 5 is positioned. The width of theframe 10 in these areas is generally equal to the lateral distance between the outermost walls of the twoupright members 110. As the width of theframe 10 is reduced, thebooster seat 5 is able be positioned in a wide variety chairs, including chairs having armrests. For example, in one embodiment, the width offrame 10 between the outermost walls of theupright members 110 is approximately 17.5 inches. - As noted above, the
upright members 110 and verticallyadjustable arms 120 include a height control device to effectively adjust the height of thechild support 20.FIG. 2 illustrates a cutaway side view of one of theupright members 110. As shown inFIG. 2 , theupright member 110 includes substantiallyvertical side walls 111, which extend upwardly from thebase 102. Thevertical side walls 111 define aninterior channel 112 having anupper opening 113 at the upper ends of thevertical side walls 111. In the illustrated embodiment, theinterior channel 112 extends downwardly into thebase 102. - At the lower end of its
interior channel 112, theupright member 110 includes two rows ofteeth 114. In the illustrated embodiment, each of theteeth 114 extends outwardly from the inner walls of thechannel 112 and is angled slightly upwardly toward theupper opening 113. As such, each pair ofadjacent teeth 114 defines anangled cavity 115. As described in greater detail herein, theteeth 114 andcavities 115 are configured to engage a portion of a verticallyadjustable arm 120 inserted into thechannel 112 as part of a height control device. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a side view of one of the verticallyadjustable arms 120. In the illustrated embodiment, the verticallyadjustable arm 120 comprises anelongate body 121, anupper armrest 123, and atilt control device 130. According to various embodiments, theelongate body 121 is a generally rigid member and has a thin profile dimensioned to fit within theinterior channel 112 of theupright member 110. As shown inFIG. 3 , theelongate body 121 includes a central protrudedportion 122, which protrudes slightly from the face of theelongate body 121 and extends along the length of theelongate body 121. Thearm 120 further includes a pair ofretractable fingers 125, which extend outwardly from the sides of the body's central protrudedportion 122. As explained in greater detail below, theretractable fingers 125 can be actuated by a handle 126 (shown inFIGS. 1 and 4 ) provided on the opposite end of thearm 120. Theupper armrest 123 is positioned adjacent an upper end of theelongate body 121 and extends outwardly from theelongate body 121. As explained in greater detail below, certain embodiments of thearmrests 123 are configured to receive and secure a tray to thebooster seat 5. -
FIG. 4 shows a cutaway side view of one of the frame's verticallyadjustable arms 120 positioned within one of theupright members 110. According to various embodiments, thearm 120 is configured to move vertically within theupright member 110 and to be selectively secured at a user-preferred height. In particular, the arm'shandle 126 is configured to act as an actuation mechanism to enable a user to adjust thearm 120 between an adjustable configuration, in which thearm 120 may be moved vertically within theupright member 110, and a secured configuration, in which thearm 120 is secured at a user-preferred height within theupright member 110. - In particular, as shown in
FIG. 4 , the arm'sretractable fingers 125 are positioned inchambers 128 within the verticallyadjustable arm 120. Thefingers 125 are also operatively connected to thehandle 126 by connectingmembers 127. In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting members are thin, elongate plastic pieces (e.g., polypropylene strips). Thehandle 126 is biased to an extended position by aspring 129, which is disposed between the upper end of thehandle 126 and the upper edge of the verticallyadjustable arm 120. When thehandle 126 is in its extend position (shown inFIG. 4 ), the connectingmembers 127 push thefingers 125 out of thechambers 128. Accordingly, when thefingers 125 are each aligned with one of thecavities 115, thefingers 125 extend into thecavities 115, as shown inFIG. 4 . When thefingers 125 are extended into thecavities 115 and engaged with theteeth 114, the verticallyadjustable arm 120 is prevented from moving upward and downward and is thus in a secured configuration. In other words, thehandle 126 is generally biased toward an extended, secured configuration in which the height of the verticallyadjustable arm 120 is fixed with respect to theupright member 110. - However, by pulling the
handle 126 upward, a user can actuate thearm 120 to an adjustable configuration in which the height of thearm 120 can be adjusted. As will be appreciated fromFIG. 4 , when thehandle 126 is pulled upward, thespring 129 is compressed and the connectingmembers 127 pull thefingers 125 upward such that they are retracted into thechambers 128. With thefingers 125 retracted and no longer engaged with theteeth 114, thearm 120 is free to move upwardly and downwardly within theupright member 110. In the illustrated embodiment, each row ofteeth 114 defines fourcavities 115. As such, using thehandle 126, a user can selectively secure thearm 120 at one of four different heights. - As the
child support 20 is operatively connected to the verticallyadjustable arms 120, adjusting the height of thearms 120 with respect to theupright members 110 necessarily adjusts the height of thechild support 20. Accordingly, in the illustrated embodiment ofFIG. 4 , theteeth 114,cavities 115,fingers 125, handle 126, connectingmembers 127,chambers 128, andspring 129 comprise a height control device configured for adjusting the height of thechild support 20. - According to other embodiments, springs may be disposed in the
chambers 128 in order to bias thefingers 125 and handle 126 to an extended position. Such springs positioned in thechambers 128 may be provided in place of, or in addition to, thespring 129 shown inFIG. 4 . Furthermore, in other embodiments,additional teeth 114 may be provided within thechannel 112 to provide additional height settings for the verticallyadjustable arm 120. In yet another embodiment, the position and orientation of the components of the height control device may be reversed. For example, in one embodiment, theteeth 114 andcavities 115 are defined on theelongate body 121 of the verticallyadjustable arm 120, while theretractable fingers 125, handle 126, connectingmembers 127,chambers 128, andspring 129 may be positioned on or within various portions of theupright member 110. - In the illustrated embodiment of
FIG. 1 , height control devices are provided in both of theupright members 110 and verticallyadjustable arms 120 on each side of thechild support 20. As such, in the illustrated embodiment, a user may adjust the height of thechild support 20 by pulling thehandles 126 on each side of thechild support 20, moving both verticallyadjustable arms 120 to a desired height, and releasing thehandles 126 to secure thechild support 20 at the desired height. However, in other embodiments, only one height control device may be provided (e.g., in only one of the upright member-arm combinations 110/120, while theother arm 120 is configured to move with the height controlled arm 120). In other embodiments, additional height control devices may be provided (e.g., in additionalupright members 110 and vertically adjustable arms 120). In addition, as will be appreciated from the description herein, the height adjustment device shown inFIG. 4 represents only one embodiment of a height adjustment device adapted for use with thebooster seat 5. Indeed, it is contemplated that other devices may be adapted to enable the verticallyadjustable arms 120 to be adjusted and selectively secured by a user at various heights with respect to theupright members 110. -
FIG. 5 shows a cutaway side view of atilt control device 130 provided on one of the verticallyadjustable arms 120. According to various embodiments, thetilt control device 130 is configured to permit thechild support 20 to selectively rotate with respect to thearm 120. As shown inFIG. 5 , thetilt control device 130 comprises a rotatingmember 131 and a fixedmember 132. In the illustrated embodiment, the fixedmember 132 is affixed to the arm'selongate body 121 just below thearmrest 123. - The rotating
member 131 is rotatably secured to the fixedmember 132 such that it may rotate about anaxis 133. In the illustrated embodiment, theaxis 133 is generally perpendicular to the illustrated surface of theelongate body 121 and, as such, is substantially horizontal and would extend outwardly from the page ofFIG. 5 . In addition, the rotatingmember 131 is affixed to a lateral side of thechild support 20. For example,FIG. 6 shows a rear view of thebooster seat 5. As shown inFIG. 6 , the rotatingmember 131 is connected to a lateral side of thechild support 20, just below a lip extending around the perimeter of thechild support 20. - In order to control the rotation of the
child support 20, the fixedmember 132 includes a plurality ofteeth 134 definingcavities 135 therebetweeen. The rotatingmember 131 includes atrigger member 136, which is connected to the rotatingmember 131 by apin 137 such that thetrigger member 136 can rotate about thepin 137. Thetrigger member 136 also includes afinger 138 configured to engage the fixed member's teeth 134 (e.g., by being positioned within one of the cavities 135). As shown inFIG. 5 , thetrigger member 136 is positioned substantially within the rotatingmember 131, but includes an exposed surface near the upper end of the rotatingmember 131 such that thetrigger member 136 can be actuated by a user. The exposed surface of thetrigger 136 is also visible inFIG. 6 . - According to various embodiments, the
tilt control device 130 is configured to be actuated between a secured configuration, in which thechild support 20 is prevented from rotating with respect to the verticallyadjustable arms 120, and an adjustable configuration, in which thechild support 20 is permitted to rotate about theaxis 133.FIG. 5 illustrates thetilt control device 130 in a secured configuration. As shown inFIG. 5 , when the trigger member'sfinger 138 is positioned within one of thecavities 135 and thereby engaged with the fixed member'steeth 134, the rotatingmember 131 is prevented from rotating with respect to the fixedmember 132. As a result, thechild support 20—which is connected to the rotatingmember 131—will not be permitted to rotate with respect to the verticallyadjustable arm 120. - To actuate the
tilt control device 130 to an adjustable configuration, a user may press the exposed surface of thetrigger member 136 such that it rotates about thepin 137, thereby causing itsfinger 138 to be moved out of contact with theteeth 134. With thefinger 138 disengaged from theteeth 134, the rotatingmember 131—and thereby thechild support 20—are free to rotate about theaxis 133. To actuate thetilt control device 130 back to a secured configuration, the user may allow thefinger 138 to realign with one of the fixed member'scavities 135 and release thetrigger member 136 such that thefinger 138 reengages theteeth 134. In the illustrated embodiment ofFIG. 5 , the fixedmember 132 defines threecavities 135, which permits thechild support 20 to be secured at three distinct angles with respect to the verticallyadjustable arm 120. - According to various embodiments, a spring may be provided within the rotating
member 131 in order to bias thetrigger member 136 to the secured configuration. In addition, thetrigger member 136 may be dimensioned such that, when it is in the adjustable configuration and rotated by a user, thefinger 138 skips over the top surfaces of theteeth 134 in order to provide a “clicking” sensation to the user that indicates when thefinger 138 has been realigned with adifferent cavity 135. Furthermore, the fixedmember 132 may be provided with additional teeth to provide additional tilt angle settings for thetilt control device 130. In yet another embodiment, the position and orientation of certain components of the tilt control device may be reversed. For example, in one embodiment, theteeth 134 andcavities 135 are defined on thetrigger member 136, while thefinger 138 is defined within the fixedmember 132. In addition, as will be appreciated fromFIG. 6 , the rearward end of the frame'sbase 102 extends further back thanchild support 10 will in its most reclined position. As a result, the base 102 can be placed on a chair such that its rearward end contacts the back of the chair and prevents thechild support 20 from contacting the chair's back when thechild support 20 is reclined. - In the illustrated embodiment of
FIG. 1 , one of the verticallyadjustable arms 120 includes the above-describedtilt control device 130 at its interface with thechild support 20, while the other verticallyadjustable arm 120 is rotatably connected to thechild support 20 without atilt control device 130. In such an embodiment, the singletilt control device 130 is able to control the tilt angle of thechild support 20. However, in other embodiments, additionaltilt control devices 130 may be provided (e.g., at the interface of thechild support 20 and both vertically adjustable arms 120). - As noted above, the
child support 20 also includes aremovable backrest 204. Referring back toFIG. 6 , theremovable backrest 204 is shown connected to the lower portion of thechild support 20. In the illustrated embodiment, thebackrest 204 is configured to engage aridge 207 along thechild support 20 and be removably secured by aclip 206. According to various embodiments, thebackrest 204 may be removed to accommodate larger children (e.g., children having shoulders wider than the backrest 204) or replaced with another removable backrest of a different size. -
FIG. 7 illustrates thebooster seat 5 with atray 30 attached. According to various embodiments, thetray 30 is configured to be removably secured to thearmrests 123 of the vertically adjustable arms 120 (e.g., using clips or other conventional attachment devices). As will be appreciated fromFIG. 7 , as thetray 30 is secured to thearmrests 123, thechild support 20 can be tilted forward and backward independent of thetray 30. In other words, in the illustrated embodiment, thetray 30 does not tilt with thechild support 20. In other embodiments, thetray 30 may be configured to rotate about pins positioned at either of its ends. In such an embodiment, thearmrests 123 may define locking mechanisms configured to receive and secure the tray's pins and permit the tray to rotate about either pin. - In addition, certain embodiments of the
booster seat 5 include one or more securing straps configured to secure thebooster seat 5 to a chair.FIG. 8 shows thebooster seat 5 secured to achair 6. In the illustrated embodiments, thebooster seat 5 includes a plurality of securingstraps 40 attached to strap connection points 104 on theframe 10. According to various embodiments, the securingstraps 40 may include one or more fasteners (e.g., side release buckles) to enable a user to quickly and easily secure thestraps 40 around portions of thechair 6. For example, as shown inFIG. 8 , thestraps 40 can be secured around the seating surface and backrest of thechair 6 in order to secure thebooster seat 5 to thechair 6. - According to various embodiments, the
booster seat 5 shown and described herein provides a stable child support having a height and tilt angle that can be easily adjusted by a user. In addition, the components of thebooster seat 5 providing this functionality can be easily assembled, have a low manufacturing cost, and are very reliable. - Many modifications and other embodiments of the inventions set forth herein will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which these inventions pertain having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings. Therefore, it is to be understood that the inventions are not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and that modifications and other embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims. Although specific terms are employed herein, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
