[0106] FIG. 6 The high chair according to FIGS. 1 and 2 in a view from above;

[0107] FIG. 7 an upper section of the high chair as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0108] In the following description, the same reference numbers are used for identical and identically acting parts.

[0109] FIG. 1 shows an oblique view of a high chair according to the invention. The high chair comprises a base element 10 and a safety device 11 for securing a baby. The base element 10 is suitable (at least for larger toddlers or children) to serve as a high chair per se. The safety device 11 can also be used for smaller children and babies in particular.

[0110] The base element 10 comprises a frame 12, a footrest 13, a base element seat 14 and a base element backrest 15.

[0111] The safety device 11 comprises a safety device backrest 16, side bolsters 17, a (substantially horizontal) bar 18 and a crotch bar (crotch section) 19.

[0112] As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, the safety device 11 (in use) is suspended from an upper edge 40 of the base element backrest 15 by means of a (hook-shaped or hook-like) second fastening element 20.

[0113] FIG. 3 shows further details of the safety device 11. A first fastening element 23 and a first release element 22 are located on the (essentially vertical) crotch bracket (crotch section) 19 or on a first free end 21 thereof.

[0114] Further details of the safety device 11 can be seen in FIG. 4. A second release element 24 (integrally formed) is assigned to the second fastening element 20. Furthermore, the second fastening element 20 has a fastening element recess (latching recess) 25 and a second free end 26.

[0115] The fastening element 20, together with complementary structures of the base element 10 described in more detail below, forms a second fastening device 30.

[0116] The safety device backrest 16 has a first (lower, in particular lowermost) projection 27, a second (middle) projection 28 and a third (upper, in particular uppermost) projection 29.

[0117] The projections 27-29 preferably extend at least substantially horizontally (in relation to a longitudinal extension, which in turn results from a longitudinal direction).

[0118] The first projection 27 is preferably used for stabilization. The second and third projections 28, 29 can also be used for stabilization and/or have a spacer function.

[0119] Furthermore, the projections 27-29 have friction-enhancing devices 41, which may be in the form of strips (e.g. running horizontally) made of a polymer, in particular elastomer, e.g. rubber and/or silicone.

[0120] As can be seen in FIG. 5, the safety device backrest 16 embraces the base element backrest, specifically by means of the second fastening element 20 (formed as a projection) (at an upper end of the base element backrest) and the projection 27 (at a lower end of the base element backrest). In this way, in particular also with the optional second and third projections 28, 29 of the safety device backrest 16, stable positioning can be achieved.

[0121] A (detachable) fastening to the base element is produced on the one hand via the second fastening device 30, which comprises the second fastening element 20 and a corresponding counter-structure 31. Specifically, the second free end 26 can be inserted into a second recess 32 of the counter-structure (second receiving element) 31, whereby a projection 33 of the counter-structure 31 snaps into the fastening element recess 25 of the second fastening element 20 and thus a fastening is locked. In order to release the fastening or locking again, the second release element 24 can be actuated (in FIG. 4: by pressing downwards) so that the fastening element recess 25 moves away from the projection 33, whereby the connection is released or the second fastening element 20 can be moved out of the second recess 32.

[0122] A first fastening device 35 comprises the first free end 21 of the vertical crotch section 19 as well as a first receiving element (preferably in the form of a recess) 36, into which the first free end 21 can be inserted. A release element 22 provided in the region of the first free end 21 can thereby engage in a first recess (latching opening) 37 thereof and thus realize a (detachable) fastening. By actuating (e.g. by pressing) the release element 22, the latter can be pressed out of the first recess 37, so that the first free end 21 can be moved out of the first receiving element 36 in order to release the connection.

[0123] The designation second can, but does not have to, imply that there is a corresponding (further) structure, which would be designated as first, but can also only simplify the assignment when reading (so that, for example, a fastening element of the second fastening device can be designated as a second fastening element, even in the event that there is no corresponding first fastening element).

[0124] At this point, it should be noted that all the parts or functions described above are claimed to be essential to the invention when viewed in isolation and in any combination, in particular the details shown in the drawings. Modifications thereof are familiar to the person skilled in the art.

[0125] Furthermore, it is pointed out that the aim is to achieve the broadest possible scope of protection. In this respect, the disclosure contained in the claims can also be specified by features that are described with further features (even without these further features necessarily being included). It is explicitly pointed out that round brackets and the term in particular are intended to emphasize the optionality of features in the respective context (which does not mean, conversely, that a feature is to be regarded as mandatory in the corresponding context without such identification).
