Abstract
An infant seat for cantilever mounting to a tabletop includes a pair of spaced-apart support members. Each support member is disposed on either side of the infant seat and includes a top portion adapted for contacting the upper surface of a tabletop, and a bottom portion adapted for contacting the under surface of a tabletop. When a baby is placed in the seat, the weight of the baby in cooperation with the top and bottom portions of the spaced-apart support members provides cantilever mounting of the seat to the tabletop. In addition, the infant seat includes a clamping support assembly which has a member projecting generally outwardly and upwardly as it extends from a forward side of a seat bottom. A telescoping member in association with a spring is capable of extensible and retractable movement from a distal end of the upwardly and outwardly projecting member. This telescoping member engages the under surface of a tabletop and in cooperation with the top portion of the spaced-apart members provides clamping support of the infant seat to the tabletop. Since the telescoping member can vary as it extends from or retracts into the outwardly and upwardly projecting member, it is self-adjusting in that it can accommodate tabletops having different thicknesses.
