Highchair

Abstract

The present invention relates to a highchair for babies or small children, comprising a lower base part ( 11 ) and an approximately bowl-shaped seat ( 12 ), which is attached in the upper area of the base part and which comprises an outer seat bowl ( 20 ) that is somewhat larger in holding volume and an inner seat bowl ( 21 ) that is somewhat smaller in holding volume and that can be fit into the outer seat bowl. The inner seat bowl can be fastened to the outer seat bowl so that also larger children can sit in the highchair after the inner seat bowl has been removed. Furthermore, an inclined position of the seat in relation to the base part is preferably provided, for which purpose the seat is moved along a brace attached to the rear of the seat or a bow ( 15 ) that defines a circular path and during said movement the brace is guided in or on a guiding device ( 14 ) connected to the base part. By means of the inclination adjustment, the seat can be moved from a position in which the child is sitting into a position in which the child is lying. Preferably, the height of the seat can also be adjusted.

         2 . The highchair according to  claim 1 , characterized in that provision is made at the one bowl for fixing elements, which can snap into recesses of the respective other bowl, for fastening the inner seat bowl ( 21 ) to the outer seat bowl ( 20 ). 
     
     
         3 . The highchair according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the outer seat bowl ( 20 ) has a larger inner width and/or a larger inner height and/or a larger inner depth, approximately at a right-angled expansion to the inner height, and/or a lower height of the seating area relative to the ground, on which the base part ( 11 ) stands, as compared to the inner seat bowl ( 21 ). 
     
     
         4 . A highchair comprising a lower base part and an approximately bowl-shaped seat, which is attached in an upper area of the base part, characterized in that the inclination of the seat can be adjusted and that, for this purpose, at least one brace or a bow ( 15 ), which defines a circular path, along which the seat is moved in response to the inclination adjustment and is thereby guided in or at a guide device, which is connected to the base part, is attached to the rear side of the seat ( 12 ). 
     
     
         5 . The highchair according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the guide device ( 14 ) can be height-adjusted in relation to the base part ( 11 ). 
     
     
         6 . The highchair according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the guide device ( 14 ) can be height-adjusted linearly in relation to the base part ( 11 ) along a track, which is inclined to the vertical. 
     
     
         7 . The highchair according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the latter encompasses a height adjustment of the seat ( 12 ), which is telescopic, comprising an outer column ( 13 ), which is attached to the base part ( 11 ) and which is inclined to the vertical and from which an at least one inner bar ( 18 ) can be extended telescopically, to which the guide device ( 14 ) is attached or a bar attached to the base part, in relation to which an outer column ( 13 ), to which the guide device is attached ( 14 ), can be moved in height. 
     
     
         8 . The highchair according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the column ( 13 ) or bar ( 18 ) of the telescopic height adjustment is attached eccentrically to the base part ( 11 ). 
     
     
         9 . The highchair according to  claim 1 , characterized in that a foot rest element ( 17 ) for the child sitting in the seat, which can be removably attached to the seat, is embodied as having the contour of an approximately U-shaped bow, wherein in the fastened state, the bow runs partially at a distance to the lower edge of the seat. 
     
     
         10 . The highchair according to  claim 1 , characterized in that a brace-like holder ( 19 ) can be removably attached to the seat bowl at at least two, preferably at three points, wherein a storage table ( 16 ) for the seat can in turn can be removably fastened to this holder. 
     
     
         11 . The highchair according to  claim 4 , characterized in that, viewed in the side view of the highchair, the brace or the bow ( 15 ) describes a reference circle and the guide device ( 14 ) comprises a tubular accommodation, which describes a short circular-arc section, through which the brace or the bow ( 15 ) can be slid in response to the inclination adjustment of the seat ( 12 ). 
     
     
         12 . The highchair according to  claim 4 , characterized in that, viewed in the side view of the highchair, the brace or the bow ( 15 ) encompasses the contour of the bowl-shaped seat ( 12 ) at a varying distance, if applicable, and/or the seat is fastened in the respective end areas of the brace or of the bow, at least at two areas of its edge, which are located diametrically opposite in the front view. 
     
     
         13 . The highchair according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the inclination of the seat can be adjusted and that, for this purpose, at least one brace or a bow ( 15 ), which defines a circular path, along which the seat is moved in response to the inclination adjustment and is thereby guided in or at a guide device, which is connected to the base part, is attached to the rear side of the seat ( 12 ).
