ABSTRACT:
A portable, safety, play chair (10) of molded plastic construction with a chair body made (11) of a relatively thin cylindrical wall (12) with openings (16R, 16L) on either side for receipt of a child ages 3-6 and a base (18R, 18L ) for supporting the cylindrical wall (12) against tipping or rolling. The thin cylindrical wall (12) is reinforced adjacent the openings (16R, 16L) by crescent shaped, inwardly turned rib (28) forming arches that are supported at opposite front and back by a pair of L-shaped legs (22F, 22B) which extend forwardly and rearwardly beyond the front (12F) and back (12D) of the cylindrical wall (12) for enhanced support against rolling, while an elongate underlying foot member (20) extends laterally of the sides of the cylindrical wall (12) for enhanced protection against tipping as well as provision of a support for a person's foot. The entire space between the L-shaped legs is also interconnected by planar material (26B, 26F) joined to the edge of the opening (16R, 16L) for enhanced strength and to eliminate crevices in which a child may become wedged. A rim assembly has an outwardly extending slanted segment (34) interconnecting a rim member (24) to the rib (28) to provide a hand grip of varying dimension.
