Abstract

This childcare chair includes a seat for receiving the child and a support for the seat, the support carrying members for bearing on the ground. The members are articulated in rotation relative to the support between at least two distinct positions, in each of which the members are deployed relative to the support and which include a high position, in which the members bearing on the ground keep the seat at a second height relative to the ground, and a low position, in which the members bearing on the ground keep the seat at a second height relative to the ground, the second height being strictly smaller than the first height.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A childcare chair, comprising a seat for receiving a child and a support for the seat, the support carrying members for bearing on the ground, wherein the members are articulated in rotation relative to the support between at least two distinct positions, in each of which the members are deployed relative to the support and which include:
 a high position, in which the members bearing on the ground keep the seat at a first height relative to the ground, and   a low position, in which the members bearing on the ground keep the seat at a second height relative to the ground, the second height being strictly smaller than the first height.   
     
     
         2 . The chair according to  claim 1 , wherein the chair comprises four members, two members being connected to one another by a central part and forming a first arch, and two other members being connected to one another by a central part and forming a second arch, and wherein the central part of each arch is articulated in rotation with the support. 
     
     
         3 . The chair according to  claim 1 , wherein each member is articulated in rotation with the support around a horizontal axis. 
     
     
         4 . The chair according to  claim 1 , wherein the members extend on either side of a vertical plane and wherein the chair comprises a synchronization mechanism for synchronizing the angular position of the members relative to the support, ensuring a symmetrical rotation of the members relative to the plane. 
     
     
         5 . The chair according to  claim 1 , wherein the chair is movable between:
 a usage configuration, in which the members are deployed relative to the support, and   a folded configuration, in which the members are folded along the support,   
       and wherein the passage from the folded configuration to the deployed configuration, and vice versa, is done by rotating the members relative to the support. 
     
     
         6 . The chair according to  claim 1 , wherein the chair comprises a blocking mechanism for blocking the angular position of the members relative to the support and locking elements for locking the blocking mechanism, the locking elements being movable between
 a locked position, in which the blocking mechanism blocks the rotation of the members relative to the support, and   an unlocked position, in which the blocking mechanism allows the rotation of the members relative to the support.   
     
     
         7 . The chair according to  claim 6 , wherein the support comprises two arms that extend from a body of the support, the members being articulated to the body, and wherein the blocking mechanism is housed at least partially in the body. 
     
     
         8 . The chair according to  claim 1 , wherein the support comprises two arms that extend from a body of the support, the members being articulated to the body. 
     
     
         9 . The chair according to  claim 8 , wherein the arms are articulated in rotation relative to the body of the support, around a horizontal balancing axis, and wherein the chair comprises a natural balancing system that commands the blocking/unblocking of the articulation of the arms around the balancing axis. 
     
     
         10 . The chair according to  claim 8 , wherein the body comprises an upper part that supports the arms and is able to rotate by 360°, around a vertical axis, relative to a lower part of the body, which carries the members. 
     
     
         11 . The chair according to  claim 1 , wherein the first height is comprised between 70 and 80 cm and the second height is comprised between 40 and 50 cm. 
     
     
         12 . The chair according to  claim 1 , wherein the seat is supported by a framework comprising a seat bottom and a backrest articulated with the support. 
     
     
         13 . The chair according to  claim 2 , wherein the chair comprises a blocking mechanism for blocking the angular position of the members relative to the support and locking elements for locking the blocking mechanism, the locking elements being movable between
 a locked position, in which the blocking mechanism blocks the rotation of the members relative to the support, and   an unlocked position, in which the blocking mechanism allows the rotation of the members relative to the support.   
     
     
         14 . The chair according to  claim 3 , wherein the chair comprises a blocking mechanism for blocking the angular position of the members relative to the support and locking elements for locking the blocking mechanism, the locking elements being movable between
 a locked position, in which the blocking mechanism blocks the rotation of the members relative to the support, and   an unlocked position, in which the blocking mechanism allows the rotation of the members relative to the support.   
     
     
         15 . The chair according to  claim 4 , wherein the chair comprises a blocking mechanism for blocking the angular position of the members relative to the support and locking elements for locking the blocking mechanism, the locking elements being movable between
 a locked position, in which the blocking mechanism blocks the rotation of the members relative to the support, and   an unlocked position, in which the blocking mechanism allows the rotation of the members relative to the support.   
     
     
         16 . The chair according to  claim 5 , wherein the chair comprises a blocking mechanism for blocking the angular position of the members relative to the support and locking elements for locking the blocking mechanism, the locking elements being movable between
 a locked position, in which the blocking mechanism blocks the rotation of the members relative to the support, and   an unlocked position, in which the blocking mechanism allows the rotation of the members relative to the support.   
     
     
         17 . The chair according to  claim 13 , wherein the support comprises two arms that extend from a body of the support, the members being articulated to the body, and wherein the blocking mechanism is housed at least partially in the body. 
     
     
         18 . The chair according to  claim 14 , wherein the support comprises two arms that extend from a body of the support, the members being articulated to the body, and wherein the blocking mechanism is housed at least partially in the body. 
     
     
         19 . The chair according to  claim 15 , wherein the support comprises two arms that extend from a body of the support, the members being articulated to the body, and wherein the blocking mechanism is housed at least partially in the body. 
     
     
         20 . The chair according to  claim 16 , wherein the support comprises two arms that extend from a body of the support, the members being articulated to the body, and wherein the blocking mechanism is housed at least partially in the body.
