Detachable bottle and food holding subtrays and clamps for attaching onto the raised ridge edges on trays used in highchairs, strollers, booster chairs, and activity chairs. The clamps can be a single component having a curved upper flange for fitting about the raised ridge of the existing tray, and an upper bent flange having an end which abuts against a lower surface of the tray. Dual cylindrical bottle subtray holders and flat planar food subtray holders can snap onto the clamp leaving the bottles and food in the subtrays at a lower level than that of the tray out of reach of a sitting child. Another clamp has a general C-shape with either a screwable post or spring biased post locking the clamp to the raised edge of the existing tray. Another clamp has plural clip portions for attaching the subtray holders. The subtray holders can also include removable lids that snap over food dish openings and removable resilient rings for adjusting the diameter of openings in the subtrays to be able to hold different diameter sized bottles, glasses and jars.
This invention relates to highchairs and strollers, and in particular to a detachable device for attaching to tray edges on highchairs, booster chairs, activity chairs and stroller type chairs for holding baby bottles, food and the like, out of reach of a sitting child, instead of using existing table and countertop surfaces. This invention is a Continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09/138,889 filed Aug. 24, 1998 U.S. Pat. No. 6,119,996, which has now been allowed, which claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional application No. 60/090,373 filed Jun. 22, 1998.
An apparatus attaches a first object to a second object in a manner that the first object can be located in a desired orientation with respect to the second object. The apparatus includes an engaging member detachably mounted to the second object, e.g., a bicycle handlebar. The apparatus further includes a fixing member to which the first object, e.g., a headlamp of a bicycle or cellular phone bag is attached. The headlamp or cellular phone bag can be mounted to the engaging member in a desired orientation. The engaging member remains on the handlebar when reattaching the headlamp or cellular phone bag to the engaging member.
A secure dish holder that easily and firmly attaches to tables and various other structures without relying on suction or adhesive. The secure dish holder is easily released by an adult, but securely holds a dish or another article so that it is not easily spilled or dislodged by a child, by wind, or by movement of the structure. The secure dish holder includes a top plate with a fastener for a dish on the topside. The top plate has slip-resistant padding on the underside that grips the surface to which the secure dish holder attaches. The secure dish holder includes a top plate with posts extending substantially perpendicularly from the underside of the top plate and a bottom plate with holes that slide snugly over the posts so the bottom plate slides along the posts. A compressible material is fixed to the topside of the bottom plate. When the end of the bottom plate nearest the holes is squeezed toward the top plate with a structure between the top plate and the bottom plate, the compressible material provides a force at the end of the bottom plate opposite the holes which cause the bottom plate to be at a non-normal angle with respect to the post and thus wedges the bottom plate against the posts and securely attaches the secure dish holder to the structure. The secure dish holder is easily detached from the table or structure by compressing the end of the bottom plate opposite the holes which allows the bottom plate to be disposed at a substantially normal angle with respect to the posts. With the bottom plate at a normal angle with respect to the posts, the force of the compressed compressible material causes the bottom plate to slide along the posts, away from the structure which releases the secure dish holder from the structure.
An ashtray apparatus comprising a container, a cap member, and a handle assembly. The container includes a base and a surround member extending from the base. The base and surround member cooperate to define a cavity having an opening. The cap member is engageable with the container. The cap member and container cover at least a portion of the opening of the container. The cap member further includes a channel extending therethrough which permits communication with the cavity of the container. The handle assembly is releasably associable with at least one of the base and the cap member so that a user can selectively utilize the handle assembly.
An apparatus for use in conjunction with feeding infants and toddlers. The apparatus is a two-part tool that combines a booster seat along with a spill-proof food tray that is removed and placed onto an adjacent table surface. The booster seat includes a small storage compartment that is located within the booster seat. The spill-proof food tray includes a separate cup holder area along with a catch-all tray that allows food to fall into it rather than onto a floor surface or onto an infant or toddler using the present invention.
A desk caddy intended for grade school children sitting at a desk having a storage bin. The caddy includes a box with integral front, back and opposite side walls and one or two internal dividers. One of the dividers, along with the front back and a side wall defines a water bottle compartment having raised ribs in the floor so that the bottle sits up off of the floor of the compartment. At least one hanger hook is integrated with the back wall so that the box may be hung on the edge of the storage bin. Alternatively, means are provided to slide the caddy onto the edge of a desk top. The unit is preferably made of injection molded plastic.
