Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the Highchair nanny adapted to be located around a highchair, or a chair with a booster seat. The Highchair Nanny is a three (3) sided collapsible, adjustable height, structure with three (3) removable clear see-through plastic and screen panels and a removable ‘U’ shaped tray for easy cleaning. (it can also be designed as a unit that would attach to an existing highchair). The three (3) sides consist of three (3) ‘U’ shaped lower bases and three (3) ‘H’ shaped upper frames. The three (3) upper ‘H’ frames each have a panel that has a clear see-through plastic sheet on the bottom half and a screen on the top half attached to them. The unit consists of two (2) clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen side panels and a clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen front panel located along the sides and front of the ‘U’ shaped tray. The ‘U’ shaped tray slides onto three (3) support members which support the ‘U’ shaped tray. The bottom edge of the three (3) clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels terminate just below the level of the ‘U’ shaped tray. The child may be placed in the highchair, or booster seat on a chair, from the rear as is customary for normal highchair or booster seat use without moving the Highchair Nanny. Otherwise, the Highchair Nanny may be rolled out of the way, as it is on casters. When a child throws or spills food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles they are intercepted by the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels and fall into the ‘U’ shaped tray below; thus catching the food, liquids, toys, and/or other material or articles thrown or spilled by the child in the Highchair Nanny. Thus preserving the food, toys, other materials or articles, and the floor adjacent and around the highchair. The Highchair Nanny will also keep parents from having to constantly clean or pick-up food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles from the floor.

2. Description of Related Art

Highchairs which are normally used by children during meals have a tray that is attached to the frame of the highchair upon which the child's meal is placed and a seat for the child to sit on. However, a young child will normally be messy and throw or spill food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles from their highchairs onto the floor, furniture, and rugs near the highchair which must be cleaned up by the child's parents. The Highchair Nanny will preserve the food, toys, other materials or articles, and the floor adjacent and around the highchair. Many devices directed at preventing or reducing the mess created by thrown or spilled food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles are known in the prior art. More specifically, by way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,318,380 to Guard, et al. discloses a tray assembly for an infant highchair where a handle is connected to the front peripheral lip of a tray insert having a generally C shape profile when viewed from the side, and is positioned so as to releasably clamp around a portion of the front peripheral edge portion of a frame for holding the front lip portion of the tray insert thereon when the side and rear lip portions of the tray insert are resting on the side and rear edge portions of a frame. The tray insert is removed from the frame by grasping the handle with one hand and pulling the handle forwardly to release the handle from the front peripheral edge portion of the frame.

U.S. Pat. No. 7,134,714 to Connery discloses a detachable food holding sub-tray for a highchair. The drawer type sub-tray can slide in and out from an existing tray. Alternatively, a pivoting arm can be folded out from the existing tray.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,660,432 to Davis discloses a highchair catch tray attachment comprising a generally rectangular tray which is selectively engagable with a child's highchair and supported thereby to provide a catch surface to catch and support objects, food and utensils dropped by the child occupying the highchair. The catch tray is adjustably postionable and supported by the highchair legs so that the catch tray surface may be maintained at a height that supports objects and food falling on and supported by the catch tray out of reach of the child occupying the highchair.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,524,957 to Gibriano discloses an accessory mount onto the seat of a chair where the accessory has a tray which is slidably mounted on an assembly. The tray can either retract underneath or extend beyond the seat of the chair.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,348,368 to Garcia, et al. discloses a shield which attaches to a highchair tray for preventing the highchair occupant from displacing food over the front and sides of the highchair tray. The shield has a wall which partially encompasses the eating surface of the high chair tray, around the edges of the tray. The wall serves to block disposal of food over the front and sides of the tray. The shield also has fasteners which allow the wall to be removably coupled to the highchair tray and which prevents the shield from being easily dislodged from the tray.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,923,249 to Mattox discloses a portable, foldable sunshade for use in protecting a person from exposure to the sun. Sun shielding side supports retain the sunshade above the head of a person who is seated in a chair. The side supports, positioned between the person and the side of the chair, are adjustable for shielding the person from oblique rays of the sun.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,579,385 to Koenig discloses a sunshade and protective cushion device for use with a conventional automobile child seat for a small child. The device includes a pair of peripherally joined flexible sheets and a valve for permitting pressurization of the airspace between the sheets. The device may be attached between the seatback and front retainer bar of the child seat to substantially cover the occupant. A pair of flaps extends from the sheets to shield the occupant from laterally incident sunlight.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, there is disclosed a Highchair Nanny which is adapted to be located around a highchair, or chair with a booster seat, and has a ‘U’ shaped tray which is removably supported by three (3) separate support members composed of aluminum or another strong lightweight material. The legs telescope utilizing a system of different diameter tubes that are inserted one into the other. The telescopic legs allow for the raising or lowering of the Highchair Nanny. The lower halves of the legs, or lower ‘U’ bases, are shaped like the letter ‘U’. The upper halves of the legs, or upper ‘H’ frames, are shaped like the letter ‘H’. The lower ‘U’ bases incorporate larger diameter tubes. The upper ‘H’ frames are of a smaller diameter than the lower ‘U’ bases, so the upper ‘H’ frames fit into the lower ‘U’ bases. The vertical posts of the lower ‘U’ bases are considered the lower legs. The horizontal part of the lower ‘U’ base is the base where the four (4) casters are attached. Only the two (2) side bases have casters. The smaller diameter upper ‘H’ frames are the portion of the legs that the three (3) clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels are removably attached to. The two (2) upper vertical posts of the upper ‘H’ frame are the vertical panel support members for the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels. There are three (3) ‘U’ shaped tray supports. Each one (1) of the ‘U’ shaped tray supports is permanently attached on the horizontal portion of each of the three (3) upper ‘H’ frames. The lower vertical posts of the upper ‘H’ frame are the portions of the upper ‘H’ frame that are inserted into the lower ‘U’ bases. Currently, the upper ‘H’ frame inserts into the lower ‘U’ bases and is adjustable through means of a series of holes and cotter pins. This is subject to change as is necessary. The clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen front and side panels are located along the two (2) sides and front of the ‘U’ shaped tray and are removably attached to the vertical panel support members; these are again, located on the two (2) upper vertical posts of the upper ‘H’ frame. Each of the three (3) supports that support the ‘U’ shaped tray are permanently attached to each of the horizontal posts on the upper ‘H’ frames. The top edge of the front and side clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels measure twenty four (24) inches above the ‘U’ shaped tray to prevent food, liquids, toys, or other materials or articles from being thrown or spilled over the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels.

The more important features of the invention have thus been outlined in order that the more detailed description that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may better be appreciated.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The invention is a product that will keep children from throwing or spilling food, liquids, toys, or other materials or articles from their highchairs, or chair with a booster seat, onto the floor. It is a three (3) sided collapsible, adjustable height structure with three (3) removable clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels and a removable ‘U’ shaped tray. (it can also be designed as a unit that would attach to an existing highchair)

The invention features adjustable height by means of telescopic legs, a removable ‘U’ shaped tray and three (3) removable clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels for cleaning and sterilization, and folds flat for easy storage. The three (3) clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels are designed to surround the highchair, or chair with a booster seat, from the front and two (2) sides. However, in a commercial application such as in a restaurant or at home at a table you would use it inversely. The three (3) sides each have a panel that is comprised of a clear see-through plastic sheet on the bottom half and a screen on the upper half which extends up surrounding the child sitting in the highchair, or chair with a booster seat. The ‘U’ shaped tray is positioned under the tray that comes attached to the highchair. When the child throws or spills food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles it is intercepted by the panels and falls into the tray below.

The invention not only keeps the floor around the highchair clean, but it also provides other benefits. These benefits include but are not limited to allowing you to re-use any food caught in the ‘U’ shaped tray as the U shaped tray is sanitized by the user, toys will not break due to falling on the floor, highchairs or chairs with booster seats, will be able to be placed on a carpeted surface, parents will not have to constantly clean or pick-up food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles from the floor, etc. . . . .

The Highchair Nanny is a product that can be used to prevent a child from throwing or spilling food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles from their highchair, or chair with a booster seat, onto the floor. The Highchair Nanny is a three (3) sided, collapsible, adjustable height free standing structure which has three (3) removable clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels which are located around a removable ‘U’ shaped tray. The Highchair Nanny can be raised and lowered according to the highchair height. The clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels and the ‘U’ shaped tray are removable for easy cleaning. The ‘U’ shaped tray is designed to fit around a highchair and is removable for easy cleaning. The Highchair Nanny is designed to fit around a conventional highchair, or chair with booster seat, which can be purchased from a commercial baby, children's furniture, or other such stores.

The free standing structure of the Highchair Nanny has telescopic legs which allow the unit to be raised or lowered to a desired height. The ‘U’ shaped tray and the three (3) clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels can be removed from the collapsible free stranding structure for easy cleaning. When not in use, the Highchair Nanny can be folded flat for convenient storage.

In an embodiment the three sides of the Highchair Nanny surround the front and the two (2) sides of the highchair, or chair with booster seat. This embodiment of the Highchair Nanny may be used when a child is being fed at home or when not being used in conjunction with a table. In another embodiment the three sides of the Highchair Nanny surround the back and two (2) sides of the highchair, or chair with booster seat. This embodiment of the Highchair Nanny may be used when a child is being fed in a commercial setting such as a restaurant or when being used in conjunction with a table.

The Highchair Nanny has three (3) clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels. The three (3) sectional panels incorporate a clear see-through plastic sheet on the bottom, to prevent liquid spills, and a see-through screen on the top. The plastic sheeting and screen panels have a height from the bottom of the clear see-through plastic sheeting to the top of the screen which is sufficient to prevent or make it difficult for a child to spill liquids or throw food, toys, and/or other materials or articles over the top of the panels. In use the ‘U’ shaped tray of the Highchair Nanny is located under the tray that comes with the commercially available highchair. Thus, when a child throws or spills food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles while sitting in the highchair, or chair with booster seat, it will hit the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels and fall down onto either the tray that came with the highchair or the ‘U’ shaped tray of the Highchair Nanny below. In addition, the clear see-through plastic sheet on the lower half of the panels prevents liquid spills as mentioned previously.

The Highchair Nanny not only keeps the floor around the highchair, or chair with booster seat clean, but it also provides other benefits which include but are not limited to allowing food which is thrown and falls down into the tray below, which has been sanitized by the user, to be reused; preventing thrown toys from falling on the floor and breaking; and allowing a highchair, or chair with booster seat, to be placed on a carpeted surface because food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles cannot be thrown or spilled onto the floor, thus they do not have to be cleaned or picked-up from the floor.

Referring to FIG. 1, there is disclosed a perspective view of the Highchair Nanny which, when placed around a highchair, or chair with booster seat, will prevent a child sitting in the highchair, or chair with booster seat from throwing or spilling food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles onto the floor in accordance with the principles of the invention. The Highchair Nanny is designed to be used with a conventional highchair, or chair with booster seat, which can be purchased from any commercial retail furniture store that sells baby furniture.

The Highchair Nanny 12 has a ‘U’ shaped tray 14 which rests upon and is removably supported by three (3) support members which may be made of aluminum, or another strong lightweight material, not shown, which are attached to the horizontal portions of the three (3) upper ‘H’ frames which can be made of aluminum, or another strong lightweight material 22. The ‘U’ shaped tray, which is removable, slides onto and is supported by these three (3) support members. The ‘U’ shaped tray may be made of a nonporous water impermeable plastic material which has a raised lip 18 which completely encircles the ‘U’ shaped tray. The raised lip encircles the ‘U’ shaped tray and prevents food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles which spill or fall onto the ‘U’ shaped tray from falling or spilling over the edge of the ‘U’ shaped tray and onto the floor. Wheels or casters are attached to the four (4) corners. This equates to two (2) wheels per each of the two (2) side lower ‘U’ bases. 26. All four (4) of the wheels may be swivel wheels. Two (2) side clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen walls 28, 30 and one (1) front clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen wall 32 are removable. The support members for the ‘U’ shaped tray are attached to the horizontal portion of the three (3) upper ‘H’ frames and will be located under the ‘U’ shaped tray.

Each panel is composed of a clear see-through plastic sheet on the bottom and a screen which has a fine mesh on the top, the height of which extends from just beneath the ‘U’ shaped tray and extends well above the child's head sufficient to prevent a child sitting in the highchair from throwing or spilling food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles over the top of the panels. Each of the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels extends along the full length of the front and two (2) sides of the ‘U’ shaped tray. In an embodiment the three (3) panels will have a height of twenty four (24) inches above the ‘U’ shaped tray. Due to the fact that the Highchair Nanny is adjustable, the overall height of the Highchair Nanny may vary from forty-eight (48) to sixty (60) inches. The preferred height will be determined by the height of the highchair used. The length of the front and two (2) side clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels can be between thirty (30) and thirty-six (36) inches. A width of thirty (30) inches is the absolute minimum, based on the dimensions of highchairs currently on the market.

The two (2) side clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels 28, 30 and the front clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panel 32 are each separately and individually removable. A support member, which supports the ‘U’ shaped tray, is attached to each of the horizontal portions of the three (3) upper ‘H’ frames. This means that there are three (3) ‘U’ shaped tray supports 14. A child can easily be placed into or removed from the highchair, or chair with booster seat from behind without having to move either the Highchair Nanny or the highchair, or chair with booster seat.

The two (2) side and front clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels are removably attached to the upper vertical posts of the upper ‘H’ frame. The horizontal portion of the upper ‘H’ frame is where the support members which provide support for the ‘U’ shaped removable tray are located 14. The three (3) supports for the ‘U’ shaped tray consist of light weight aluminum, or another strong and lightweight material. The panels are made from clear see-through plastic sheeting on the bottom halves and a fabric or plastic mesh screen on the upper halves which can be placed into the sink or a dish washing machine for cleaning and sterilizing. The mesh screen may be made of a water impermeable plastic material and the mesh may have openings which are between two-thirty seconds and three-thirty seconds of an inch. The screen can be white or have a neutral color of gray or a blue color when the child is a boy or a pink color when the child is a girl. In addition, letters of the alphabet and/or pictures of animals, or other such images, may be printed onto the screens with nontoxic water resistant ink for the child to see while seated in the highchair. The ‘U’ shaped tray 14 is removably supported by the three (3) ‘U’ shaped tray support members. The support members may be made of light weight aluminum, or another strong lightweight material. The ‘U’ shaped tray is of a size which can easily fit into the sink or a dishwasher to be cleaned and sterilized. The ‘U’ shaped tray may be composed of two (2) parts; small clips may be located on the bottom of the parts to removably lock the two (2) sides to form a single tray.

In use, when at home, the Highchair Nanny is positioned around the front of a highchair, or chair with booster seat. The length of the legs can either be extended or retracted until the ‘U’ shaped tray 14 of the Highchair Nanny is located immediately under the tray on the highchair. At this time the open side of the highchair nanny is positioned toward the rear of the highchair, or chair with booster seat. A child can easily be placed into or removed from the highchair, or chair with booster seat, from the rear. Alternately, one could roll the Highchair Nanny out of the way and place the child into, or remove the child from the highchair, or chair with booster seat, from the front. The clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels that surround the ‘U’ shaped tray have a height which extends up from the ‘U’ shaped tray for a distance which is sufficient to prevent a child sitting in the highchair, or chair with booster seat from throwing or spilling food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles over the top of the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels. In addition, each of the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels extends along the full length of the front and two (2) sides of the ‘U’ shaped tray to prevent the child from throwing or spilling food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles out around the rear of the side panels.

The two (2) clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen side panels and the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen front panel of the Highchair Nanny will prevent food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles which are given to the child from being thrown or spilled onto the floor. Any item which is thrown or spilled by the child will be intercepted by the clear see-through plastic sheeting or the screen on the panels and fall down onto the ‘U’ shaped tray. Subsequently, when the child is removed from the highchair, the ‘U’ shaped tray and all three (3) clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels can be washed in the sink or may be placed into a dishwasher to be cleaned and sterilized, ready for further use.

When the Highchair Nanny is being used in a commercial application, such as in a restaurant, the Highchair Nanny is positioned around a highchair, or chair with booster seat, which is located adjacent to and facing a table. The length of the legs are either extended or contracted until the ‘U’ shaped tray 14 of the Highchair Nanny is located immediately under the level of the tabletop since typically, restaurant highchairs and chairs with booster seats, do not have trays. At this time the open side of the Highchair Nanny faces the table. The three (3) clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels have a height which extends up from the ‘U’ shaped tray for a distance which is sufficient to prevent a child sitting in the high chair from throwing or spilling food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles over the top of the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels onto the floor, walls, patrons, and/or onto another table. In this adaptation, each of the two (2) side clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels extends along the full length of the two (2) sides of the ‘U’ shaped tray and the front clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panel extends across the rear of the highchair, or chair with booster seat, which prevents the child from throwing or spilling food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles onto the floor, walls, patrons, and/or onto another table.

The clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels of the Highchair Nanny will prevent food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles which are given to the child from being thrown or spilled onto the floor or walls of a restaurant or onto a restaurant patron or another table. Any item which is thrown or spilled by the child will be intercepted by the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels and fall down onto the ‘U’ shaped tray. Subsequently, when the Highchair Nanny is removed, the ‘U’ shaped tray and all three (3) of the clear see-through plastic sheeting and screen panels can be placed into the sink or a dishwasher to be cleaned and sterilized, and ready for use by the child of another customer.

Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a perspective view of the Highchair Nanny which is adapted to be located around a highchair, or chair with booster seat, not shown, which is positioned adjacent to, and facing, a table in a restaurant or at home where a child in the highchair, or chair with booster seat, is prevented from throwing food, liquids, toys, and/or other materials or articles onto the floor in accordance with the principles of the invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a close up of the front view of the top right corner of the upper “H” frame located in the lower “U” base and a cotter pin is used for height adjustment.
