[0001] HIGH CHAIR ACCESSORY

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to a highchair accessory that enables babies to improve their eating skills by eating on their own, while at the same time reducing the cleaning burden for parents.

[0004] STATE OF THE ART

[0005] The Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) method encourages babies to feed with family members, taking food with their own hands without intermediaries. Unlike the traditional spoon-feeding method, this method allows babies to be more active in their own feeding process, thus contributing to their motor skills and intellectual development.

[0006] Today, the Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) method is spreading rapidly. Many parents are feeding their children with this method. The BLW method allows babies to choose and eat their own meals, encouraging them to eat at their own pace and according to their preferences. The BLW method allows babies to take an active role in food exploration and gives them the chance to express themselves. As babies explore the texture, taste and colors of food, they also develop motor skills and independence.

[0007] In the Baby-Led Feeding (BLW) Method, foods are placed in front of the baby and the baby learns about these foods by seeing, touching and tasting them. Many foods are placed in front of the baby, allowing the baby to experience many foods. The biggest disadvantage of this method is that the baby may drop and / or spill the food he / she is holding or the fork, spoon, plate and similar objects used for eating under the dining table. This puts a lot of cleaning workload on parents, especially mothers.

[0008] Nowadays, parents who support their babies to eat with the Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) method use covers and disposable activity wipes on the floor to clean up the food residues that their babies spill and scatter during eating. The covers are usually shaken off and washed after each meal, while the disposable products are thrown away. Or the food that is spilled directly on the floor is picked up by the parents after each meal and the floor is wiped clean. This tires the parents and wastes a lot of water and detergent for cleaning.

[0009] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The invention is a highchair attachment that eliminates the disadvantages described above.

[0011] The high chair accessory according to the invention is positioned on the legs of the high chair. The high chair accessory developed in the invention is positioned under the seat part of the high chair and its width and length dimensions in this position are more than the width and length dimensions of the seat part. Foods and objects such as plates, cups, spoons and similar objects are placed in front of the baby. While the baby touches the food placed in front of him / her, takes it into his / her mouth or slams it, the food and other objects that fall, spill or fall while doing actions such as slamming, come to the high chair accessory and accumulate on the high chair accessory since the width and length dimensions of the high chair accessory developed in the invention are larger than the width and length dimensions of the high chair. The baby will freely taste and eat the food put in front of him until he is full, and the mothers will be happy by watching their baby. When the baby is done eating, mothers can easily clean the food residues inside the high chair accessory developed in the invention. Since the high chair accessory developed in the invention is easily removable and attachable to the legs of the high chair, after the baby has eaten, the high chair accessory can be cleaned very easily with little water and little detergent by removing the high chair accessory while it is on the legs of the high chair or by removing it from the legs. This ensures that parents are less tired and that less water and less detergent is used for cleaning.

[0012] The high chair accessory developed in the invention allows babies to eat as much food as they want without crying or straining, increasing their motor skills while leaving minimal cleaning work for parents.

[0013] The high chair accessory developed in the invention has a middle vertical folding part. Thanks to the middle vertical folding part, the highchair accessory developed in the invention can be folded in half and occupies less space in cars and similar means of transportation.

[0014] The high chair accessory developed in the invention has a middle vertical folding part. Thanks to the middle vertical folding part, the high chair accessory developed in the invention folds in half and occupies less space in homes and similar places.

[0015] The high chair accessory developed in the invention has a middle vertical folding part. Thanks to the middle vertical folding part, the high chair accessory developed in the invention can be folded in half and documents or drawing papers can be carried in the form of a bag.

[0016] The high chair accessory developed in the invention has a hand grip-1 and a hand grip-2. Thanks to the hand grip-1 and hand grip-2, the high chair accessory developed in the invention can be easily transported.

[0052] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0053] The invention is a high chair accessory (1 ); after the high chair accessory (1 ) is turned on; the high chair accessory (1 )

[0054] - does not occupy too much space where it is located, especially at home and to serve as a bag in which drawing papers and / or other paper documents can be carried if necessary,

[0055] - to enable the folding of the high chair attachment (1 ) includes the middle vertical fold (1.23).

[0056] The middle vertical folding part (1.23) is formed in the production of the high chair accessory (1 ), so that the high chair accessory (1 ) can be easily folded when it is desired to fold the high chair accessory (1 ).

[0057] After the high chair accessory (1 ) is brought to the open position and folded from the middle vertical folding part (1.23), there are hand grip-1 (1.17) and hand grip-2 (1.18) that enable the high chair accessory (1 ) to be easily carried.

[0058] When the high chair accessory (1) developed in the invention, which is completely open as in Figure-1 , is desired to be positioned on the high chair (2), it is folded as explained below and the position ready to be attached to the high chair (2) in Figure - 4 (closed position) is obtained;

[0059] - upper edge (1.3) is folded at the upper horizontal fold (1.22); lower edge (1.4) is folded at the lower horizontal fold (1.21 );

[0060] - left side edge (1.1 ) is folded at the left vertical fold (1.19); right side edge (1.2) is folded at the right vertical fold (1.20),

[0061] - the left side edge (1.1 ) is fixed to the top edge (1.3) by inserting the arrow at the end of the upper left detachable attachment part (1.5) through the surface of the upper left slit-shaped hole (1 .9) facing the part (1 .24) where the objects thrown and / or dropped by the baby are collected and removing it from the back part. - the upper right side edge (1 .2) is fixed to the upper edge (1 .3) by inserting the arrow at the end of the upper right releasable connection part (1.6) through the surface of the upper right slit-shaped hole (1.10) facing the part (1.24) where the objects thrown and / or dropped by the baby are collected and removing it from the back part.

[0062] - the left side edge (1.1 ) is fixed to the bottom edge (1.4) by inserting the arrow at the end of the lower left releasable connection part (1.8) through the surface of the lower left slit-shaped hole (1.11 ) facing the part (1.24) where the objects thrown and / or dropped by the baby are collected and removing it from the back part.

[0063] - the right side edge (1.2) is fixed to the bottom edge (1.4) by inserting the arrow at the end of the lower right dissolvable connection part (1.7) through the surface of the lower right slit-shaped hole (1.12) facing the part (1.24) where the objects thrown and / or dropped by the baby are collected and removing it from the back part.

[0064] The high chair accessory (1) developed in the invention, which is brought to the position (closed position) ready to be attached to the high chair (2), is positioned on the high chair (2) as described below:

[0065] - The legs (2.1 ) of the highchair (2) are removed from the slots (2.2.1 ) on the highchair (2),

[0066] - One of the legs (2.1) is attached to the left upper leg fitting hole (1.13),

[0067] - One of the legs (2.1) is attached to the right upper leg fitting hole (1.14),

[0068] - One of the legs (2.1) is attached to the left lower leg fitting hole (1.15),

[0069] One of the legs (2.1) is also attached to the right lower leg fitting hole (1.16) (figure-5). When the legs (2.1 ) are attached to the high chair accessory (1) of the invention, they are at right angles to the floor. After the feet (2.1 ) in the position in Figure-5 are attached to the high chair accessory (1), each of the feet (2.1 ) is attached to the slot (2.2.1 ) on the seat part (2.2). In this case, the legs (2.1) are angled in relation to the floor. The angled position of the legs (2.1) with respect to the floor ensures that the high chair accessory (1) positioned on it is fixed by itself in a position between the floor and the seat part (2.2). In this way, the high chair accessory (1) is positioned on the high chair (2) (figure-7).

[0070] The line passing through the upper left foot fitting hole (1.13) and the lower left foot fitting hole (1.15) on the high chair accessory (1 ) and the line passing through the upper right foot fitting hole (1.14) and the lower right foot fitting hole (1.16) are parallel to each other. Likewise, the line passing through the upper left foot through hole (1.13) and the line passing through the upper right foot through hole (1.14) and the line passing through the lower left foot through hole (1.15) and the line passing through the lower right foot through hole (1.16) are parallel to each other. When the legs (2.1 ) are inserted into their slots (2.2.1) on the high chair (2), the high chair accessory (1) is fixed so that it does not fall down on the legs (2.1) at a distance corresponding to the distance between the holes on the high chair accessory (1) positioned on the legs (2.1 ). In other words, when the distance between the upper two legs (2.1) is equal to the distance between the left upper leg passage hole (1.13) and the right upper leg passage hole (1.14); when the distance between the lower two legs (2.1 ) is equal to the distance between the left lower leg passage hole (1.15) and the right lower leg passage hole (1.16), the high chair accessory (1) cannot descend from that position. Because the distance between the feet (2.1 ) increases from top to bottom since the feet (2.1 ) are angled relative to the floor.

[0071] The high chair accessory (1 ) developed in the invention is positioned on the legs (2.1 ) of the high chair (2). The high chair accessory (1 ) developed in the invention is positioned under the seat part (2.2) of the high chair (2) and its width, length dimensions in this position are more than the width, length dimensions of the seat part (2.2). Food and objects such as plates, cups, spoons and similar objects are placed in front of the baby. While the baby touches the food placed in front of him / her, takes it into his / her mouth or slams it, the food and other objects that fall, spill and other objects will come to the high chair accessory (1) and accumulate on the high chair accessory (1 ) since the width and length dimensions of the high chair accessory (1 ) developed in the invention are larger than the width and length dimensions of the high chair (2). The baby will freely taste and eat the food placed in front of it until it is full, and the mothers will be happy watching their baby. When the baby is finished eating, mothers can easily clean the food residues in the part (1.24) of the high chair accessory (1) developed in the invention where the objects thrown and / or dropped by the baby are collected.

[0072] When the high chair accessory (1 ) is to be removed from the high chair (2), the above described operations are reversed. First, the legs (2.1 ) are removed from their sockets (2.2.1). Then the legs (2.1) are removed from the high chair bracket (1 ). Then; the arrow at the end of the upper left detachable connection part (1.5) is removed from the upper left slit-shaped hole (1.9), the arrow at the end of the upper right detachable connection part (1.6) is removed from the upper right slit -shaped hole (1.10), the arrow at the end of the lower left detachable connection part (1. 8) is removed from the lower left slot-shaped hole (1.11 ), the arrow at the end of the lower right releasable connection part (1.7) is removed from the lower right slot- shaped hole (1.12) and the high chair accessory (1 ) is brought to the open position in Figure-1.

[0073] After the highchair accessory (1) of the invention is switched on;

[0074] - so that it doesn't take up too much space, especially at home,
