[0001] The present invention relates to a high-chair for children with means for easier actuation.
[0002] As is known, high-chairs for children are already commercially available which, generally speaking, are made with a stand or supporting element whereto a chair is connected; such chair can be arranged at the preferred height and has a backrest that can be reclined in various manners.
[0003] In the solutions of the known art, currently there are considerable problems in providing an ergonomic distribution of the various controls, which must be available immediately to bystanders, who are caring for the child, but on the other hand must not be easily reachable by the child, in order to prevent inappropriate actuations.
[0004] Currently commercially available solutions have not proved suitable of solving the problem fully, and indeed have led to the provision of structures that are particularly complicated and awkward, and therefore they are subject to frequent jamming and are not always able to comply with the required safety criteria.
[0005] The aim of the invention is to solve the problems described above, by providing a high-chair for children with easier actuation means that allows to have the various controls arranged in an ergonomic position, making them easily accessible to bystanders but difficult to access for the child sat in the high-chair.
[0006] Within the scope of this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a high-chair for children in which the various controls are particularly simplified and easy to assemble within the high-chair, which and therefore does not have the various actuation mechanisms in sight.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-chair for children which, thanks to its particular constructive characteristics, is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-chair for children with easier actuation means that can be obtained easily starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and is also competitive from a merely economical standpoint.
[0009] This aim and these and other objects that will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a high-chair for children with easier actuation means, according to the invention, which comprises a stand for supporting a chair that can be arranged at a preset height, characterized in that it comprises, on said chair, means for varying the inclination of the backrest, which can be accessed on the rear part of said backrest, and means for connecting to each other said backrest and the footrest in order to vary the position of said footrest simultaneously with the variation in the inclination of said backrest.
[0010] Further characteristics and advantages will become better apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a high-chair for children with easier actuation means, illustrated only by way of non-limitative example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
[0011]
[0012]
[0013]
[0014]
[0015]
[0016]
[0017]
[0018]
[0019]
[0020]
[0021]
[0022]
[0023] With reference to the figures, the high-chair for children with easier actuation means, generally designated by the reference numeral
[0024] A chair
[0025] A first particularity of the invention consists in that at the chair
[0026] In each lever
[0027] The actuation of the first fork
[0028] A fundamental characteristic is constituted by the fact that there are connection means for interconnecting the backrest
[0029] With this arrangement, by varying the inclination of the backrest the position of the footrest is changed at the same time.
[0030] The means for adjusting the vertical position of the chair
[0031] The eye
[0032] The actuation of the second fork
[0033] At the wheels
[0034] When the lever is in the inactive position, as shown in
[0035] To engage the brake, one acts on the pedal
[0036] When the lever is in the active position, therefore, the rotation of the wheel is absolutely prevented due to the locking applied by the retention tooth
[0037] A tray
[0038] As shown in the drawings, the tray
[0039] At the border
[0040] The pin
[0041] A sliding dinner tray, generally designated by the reference numeral
[0042] From the above description it is thus evident that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, and in particular the fact is stressed that a high-chair for children is provided which is particularly practical and versatile, since it allows to have actuation elements that can be accessed immediately and are handy for bystanders but are arranged where they cannot be accessed easily by the child placed in the high-chair.
[0043] The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations such as, for example, providing chairs with different shapes and sizes, while using the same mechanisms of the present invention. All such variations are to be considered as falling within the scope of the appended claims.
[0044] All the details may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
[0045] In practice, the materials employed, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions, may be any according to requirements.
