Patent ID: 7185949

Claim:
A highchair, comprising: a seat attached to a frame having a top, a bottom, and a first periphery defining a first footprint of the frame; wheels attached to the frame adjacent to the first periphery for providing wheeled movement of the frame over a surface; the first periphery of the frame bounding a receiving area underlying the bottom of the frame within the first footprint of the frame; an arresting fixture having a second periphery defining a second footprint of the arresting fixture, whereby the second footprint of the arresting fixture is smaller than the first footprint of the frame; the arresting fixture located in the receiving area whereby the second footprint is within the first footprint of the frame and is encircled by the wheels, the arresting fixture mounted to the frame for movement in reciprocal directions relative to the bottom of the frame between a first position toward the bottom of the frame, and a second position away from the bottom of the frame for engagement with the surface for arresting the frame from wheeled movement over the surface; and means interacting between the frame and the arresting fixture for moving the arresting fixture between the first and second positions.
