Patented May 25, v1954 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE INFANTS CHAIR Edward W. Anderegg, West `De Pere, Wis. Application August 19, 1949, 'Serial No. 111,260
2 Claims.
This invention relates to an infants chair, and more particularly to an infants seat designed for removable installation on a seat of an automobile or other vehicle,
It is amongthe objects of the invention to provide a chair for a small child or infant which seat may be used in an automobile or other vehicle, such as a railway coach, or in other places, and has a readily detachable bar for securing it in upright position on an automobile seat, which bar may be removed when the seat is used in a house or other stationary location, which infants seat is of light weight and sturdy construction, is especially constructed to rest upon a fabric-covered seat without damage to the seat cover, and without danger of tilting or upsetting, which provides a receptacle immediately in front of the occupant, and has a detachable fabric portion or covering which is easily removable from the frame portion for laundering, and which infants chair is economical to manufacture, and neat and attractive in appearance.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description and the appended claims in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure l is a top plan view of a chair illustrative of the invention;
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the chair showing the chair mounted in operative, upright position on the seat cushion of an automobile seat;
Figure 3 is a rear elevation of the chair illustrated in Figures l and 2; and
Figure 4 is a perspective view of an extension bar which is detachably connectible to the chair frame and engageable between the back and the seat cushion of an automobile seat assembly to hold the infants chair in upright position and against movement relative to an automobile seat cushion on which the infants chair is mounted.
With continued reference to the drawing, the illustrated infants chair comprises a frame comprising two spaced-apart, side frame members I0 and II which are substantially parallel and downwardly divergent and are substantially in the form of a ligure 8, a top frame member I2, a frame base I 3. The top frame member I2 is generally in the form of an elongated, continuous ellipse, and is bent up at one end to provide a lchair back I3. A bar Ill extends transversely across the top frame at a location spaced from the back I3 and substantially at the inner end of the semi-circular-shaped adjacent end portion of the top frame. The top frame I2 is welded or otherwise suitably secured to the top rails I5 of the frame side members Il) and Il between the back IS and the transverse bar I4. The base I3 may conveniently comprise a rectangular piece of sheet metal rsecured at its opposite sides to the bottom rails i e of the side frame members I B and H by having its end portions rolled over these bottom raiis. This construction provides a chair frame of extremely light weight combined with great rigidity.
The chair also comprises a one-piece fabric covering Il shaped to provide a seat portion suspended from the top rails of the side frame members Iii and II and from the portions of the top frame portion I2 secured to these rails, a back web 2e doubled at its free end to provide a pocket in which the upwardly-extending frame back i3 is received, and a receptacle portion 2l suspended from the rounded end portion of the top frame and from 'the transverse bar I4. The front end of the seat portion I9 of the cover is left open and a tongue 22 extends across this open end from the location ofthe transverse bar I4 to the bottom of the seat portion at the mid-width location of the latter, leaving at the opposite sides thereof two openings through which an infants legs may be passed when the infant is placed in the chair.
The sides of the seat portion I9 of the covering are provided with extensions which fold over the top frame and the top rails I5 of the side frames, and are detachably secured to the opposite sides of the seat portion below the top rails I5 by suitable snap fasteners 24. The receptacle portion 2i is also provided with an extension 25 which folds over the rounded front end of the top frame member and is secured to the side wall of the receptacle portion below the top frame by suitable snap fasteners 25. The sides of the seat portion are suspended by the folded-over portions 23, the front end thereof by the tongue 22 suspended from the transverse bar It and connected to the receptacle portion ZI, and the back web by the pocket formed on the covering and receiving the chair back I3.
Each of the frame side members IIJ and II is provided at each end of its bottom rail I6 with a downwardly-directed, sharply-curved formation 21 and outwardly and upwardly of such formations 2 with conveXly-curved portions 28.
The chair, as above-described, may be used on a floor, chair, bed or lawn and, because of the distance between the bottom rails I6 of the frame side members and the length of these bottom rails, it will remain in upright position Without tilting or upsetting, despite the activity of an infant seated therein.
When it is desired to mount the seat in an automobile, a U-shaped supporting bar 30, illustrated in Figure 4, is detachably secured to the seat frame. This bar has an elongated, substantially straight bight portion 3l, two legs 32 and 33 extending substantially perpendicularly from the bight portion 3| at opposite ends of the latter, the free ends of the legs having laterally offset loops or eyes 34 and 35. y Near the bight portion 3|, both legs are slightly bent, as indicated at 36, so that the parts of the legs between the bends 36 and the free ends of the legs are laterally or downwardly offset relative to the bight portion 3|. In attaching the supporting bar 30 to the chair, the eyes 34 and 35 are engaged over the curved formations 28 at the rear ends of the frame side member bottom rails i3, so that the bar 30 is firmly but pivotally con nected to the chair frame. The bight portion 3| of the bar 30 is adapted to be forced through the space between the top of the seat cushion of a vehicle seat and the bottom of the back seat thereof. Because of the bends 36 in the legs of the bar 30, the bight portion 3| will be forced down to engage the rear side of the seat cushion and be firmly held in place so as to hold the chair against forward movement relative to the vehicle seat and against tilting or upsetting. The curved portions 28 of the lower bars i6 of the frame side members then bear .against the forward side of the seat back, so that the chair is prevented from moving rearwardly relative to the automobile seat cushion.
When it is desired to remove the chair from an automobile, the bar 30 is pulled out of the space between the seat cushion and the vehicle seat back and the chair removed. The bar 39 can then be removed from the chair frame side members and the chair placed upon any other desired supporting surface. Since the bar 3|) is pivotally attached to the chair frame, the bar can be left attached to the chair frame, if desired, and pivoted out of the way when the chair is used, for instance, onv a floor.
The invention may be embodied in other specic forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiment is, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being defined by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are, therefore, intended to be embraced therein.
What is claimed is:
1. An infants chair comprising a pair of upstanding side frame members arranged in parallel spaced relation, each frame member consisting of a horizontally disposed rigid top rail having downwardly directed convexly curved end portions, a horizontally disposed rigid bottom rail having upwardly directed convexly curved end portions, and a pair of rigid legs arranged in crisscross relation having the upper ends merging with the downwardly curved end portionsof said top rail and having the lower ends mergi g with the upwardly curved end portions of sa d bottom rail, the bottom rail being longer th n said top rail, a plate extending between and secured to the portions of the bottom rails of said side frame members intermediate the upwardly curved end portions, the end portions of said bottom rails forming feet for engaging a floor surface, and a horizontally disposed top frame member including spaced side rails and having a back rising from said side rails arranged so that the side rails of said top member abut and are secured to the top rails of said side frame members.
2. An infants chair comprising a pair of upstanding side frame members arranged in paral lel spaced relation, each frame member consisting of a horizontally disposed rigid top rail having downwardly directed convexly curved end portions, a horizontally disposed rigid bottom rail having upwardly directed convexly curved end portions, and a pair of rigid legs arranged in crisscross relation having the upper ends merging with the downwardly curved end portions of said top rail and having the lower ends merging with the upwardly curved end portions of said bottom rail, the bottom rail being longer than said top rail, a plate extending between and secured to the portions of the bottom rails of said side frame members intermediate the upwardly curved end portions, the end portions of said bottom rails forming feet for engaging a floor surface, a horizontally disposed top frame member including spaced side rails and having a back rising from said side rails arranged so that the side rails of said top member abut and are secured to the top rails of said side frame menibers, and a fabric covering detachably secured at its ends to the side rails of said top frame member and the top rails of said side frame members, and the back of said top frame member and providing a seat suspended from the top frame member.
