Abstract:
1. A foldable high chair comprising a seat foundation including a front leg unit and a rear leg unit coupled to the front leg unit for pivotable movement about a leg pivot axis between a spread-apart position wherein a floor-engaging portion of the front leg unit is separated from a floor-engaging portion of the rear leg unit and a drawn-together position wherein the floor-engaging portions of the front and rear leg units lie in close proximity to one another and a juvenile seat mounted for movement on the seat foundation between an erected position and a knock-down position during pivotable movement of the front leg unit relative to the rear leg unit corresponding to folding and unfolding of the foldable high chair, wherein the juvenile seat is coupled to the front leg unit for pivotable movement about a seat pivot axis and to the rear leg unit for sliding movement along a portion of the rear leg unit in response to movement of the juvenile seat between the erected position and the knock-down position to cause the juvenile seat to assume the erected position and the seat foundation to assume the spread-apart position upon unfolding of the foldable high chair to assume an expanded use position and to cause the juvenile seat to assume the knock-down position and the seat foundation to assume the drawn-together position upon folding of the foldable high chair to assume a flat-fold collapsed storage position, wherein the juvenile seat includes a seat back coupled to the rear leg unit for sliding along the portion of the rear leg unit, an armrest unit coupled to the front leg unit for pivotable movement about the seat pivot axis and coupled to the seat back for pivotable movement about an armrest pivot axis, and a seat bottom coupled to the seat back for pivotable movement about a rear seat bottom pivot axis and coupled to the front leg unit for pivotable movement about a front seat bottom pivot axis.
