  • Patent number: 7540560
    Abstract: Detachable bottle and food holding subtrays, clips and support attachments for juvenile chairs such as highchairs, strollers, booster chairs, car seats and activity chairs. The clips can be a snapable C-shape, use a screwable post or a spring biased post for attachment to an existing tray. Removable lids and removable bottle sizing rings can be used. Pre-attached clips can be pre-molded directly to the existing tray. Alternatively, clips can be attached by hook and loop fasteners or peel and stick tape. A drawer type subtray can slide in and out from the existing tray. Alternatively, a pivoting arm can be folded out from the existing tray. The clips, supports, drawers and arms can be used to support and/or hold items such as food out of reach of sitting children, and/or can keep items such as mirrors and toys at selected locations within reach of the sitting child.

  • Patent number: 6119996
    Abstract: Detachable bottle and food holding subtrays and clamps for attaching onto the raised ridge edges on trays used in highchairs, strollers, booster chairs, and activity chairs. The clamps can be a single component having a curved upper flange for fitting about the raised ridge of the existing tray, and an upper bent flange having an end which abuts against a lower surface of the tray. Dual cylindrical bottle subtray holders and flat planar food subtray holders can snap onto the clamp leaving the bottles and food in the subtrays at a lower level than that of the tray out of reach of a sitting child. Another clamp has a general C-shape with either a screwable post or spring biased post locking the clamp to the raised edge of the existing tray.
