The present invention relates to a child product, and more particularly, to a child tray assembly with different used states, and a related multi-function high chair.
In order for caregivers to feed and care for their children, a number of child products are employed. A High chair provides a means for the caregivers to place their children for spoon or bottle feeding. The conventional high chair usually affords a number of convenience features, such as a reclining seatback and a height adjustment mechanism. However, sometimes, the conventional high chair still cannot allow the caregivers to adequately watch or interact with their children. Therefore, there is a need for improvement of the high chair.
Therefore, it is an objective to provide a child tray assembly with different used states, and a related multi-function high chair.
In order to achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention discloses a child tray assembly adapted for a child seat. The child tray assembly includes a tray. The tray includes a tray body and at least one sliding latch slidably disposed on the tray body. The at least one sliding latch includes a first engaging portion, at least one second engaging portion and an operating portion. The first engaging portion is for engaging with another tray or at least one sliding track, so as to configure the tray to be slidably disposed on the child seat by the another tray or the at least one sliding track. The at least one second engaging portion is for engaging with at least one tube, so as to configure the tray to be used as a table. The operating portion is connected to the first engaging portion and the at least one second engaging portion for driving the first engaging portion and the at least one second engaging portion.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operating portion is fixedly connected to the at least one second engaging portion, and a relief slit is formed on a connection between the operating portion and at least one second engaging portion.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a sliding slot is formed on the operating portion. A middle portion of the at least one second engaging portion is pivotally installed on the tray body and located at a position outside the sliding slot. A sliding pin protrudes from an end of the at least one second engaging portion through the sliding slot. Another end of the at least one second engaging portion is adapted for engaging with the at least one tube, and the operating portion drives the another end of at least one second engaging portion to pivotally disengage from the at least one tube by cooperation of the sliding pin and the sliding slot.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sliding pin is driven by the at least one tube to slide relative to the sliding slot during a process that the at least one tube is inserted into the tray body.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one second engaging portion is biased to engage with the at least one tube.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a slot is formed on the tray body and located at a position corresponding to the at least one second engaging portion for allowing the at least one second engaging portion to pass therethrough to engage with the at least one tube.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a ramped surface is formed on a side of the at least one second engaging portion for cooperating with the at least one tube during a process that the at least one tube is inserted into the tray body.
In order to achieve the aforementioned objective of the present invention, the present invention further discloses a multi-function high chair. The multi-function high chair includes a child seat, at least one leg component and a child tray assembly. The at least one leg component is installed on the child seat for supporting the child seat. The at least one leg component includes at least one tube. The child tray assembly is detachably disposed on the child seat, and the child tray assembly includes a tray. The tray includes a tray body and at least one sliding latch slidably disposed on the tray body. The at least one sliding latch includes a first engaging portion, at least one second engaging portion and an operating portion. The first engaging portion is for engaging with another tray or at least one sliding track, so as to configure the tray to be slidably disposed on the child seat by the another tray or the at least one sliding track. The at least one second engaging portion is for engaging with the tube, so as to configure the tray to be used as a table. The operating portion is connected to the first engaging portion and the at least one second engaging portion for driving the first engaging portion and the at least one second engaging portion.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operating portion is fixedly connected to the at least one second engaging portion, and a relief slit is formed on a connection between the operating portion and at least one second engaging portion.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operating portion is at least partially exposed out of the tray body. The first engaging portion is exposed out of the tray body, and the at least one second engaging portion is received inside the tray body.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operating portion is movably connected to the second engaging portion.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a sliding slot is formed on the operating portion. A middle portion of the at least one second engaging portion is pivotally installed on the tray body and located at a position outside the sliding slot. A sliding pin protrudes from an end of the at least one second engaging portion through the sliding slot. Another end of the at least one second engaging portion is adapted for engaging with the at least one tube, and the operating portion drives the another end of at least one second engaging portion to pivotally disengage from the at least one tube by cooperation of the sliding pin and the sliding slot.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the sliding pin is driven by the at least one tube to slide relative to the sliding slot during a process that the at least one tube is inserted into the tray body.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one second engaging portion is biased to engage with the at least one tube.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a slot is formed on the tray body and located at a position corresponding to the at least one second engaging portion for allowing the at least one second engaging portion to pass therethrough to engage with the tube.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a ramped surface is formed on a side of the at least one second engaging portion for cooperating with the tube during a process that the tube is inserted into the tray body.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a positioning recess is formed on the tube, and the at least one second engaging portion engages with the positioning recess when the tube is inserted into the tray body.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one leg component further includes another tube detachably connected to the tube.
In summary, the present invention utilizes the sliding latch for combination of the second tray and the first tray. Therefore, it is convenient for the caregivers to switch the child tray assembly in different used states, which allows the caregivers to adequately watch or interact with their children more easily.

The first tray 131 includes a first tray body 1311, a first actuator 1312, two driven components 1313, two engaging components 1314 and two sliding tracks 1315. The two sliding tracks 1315 are installed on the first tray body 1311, so that the first tray body 1311 can be slidably disposed on the child seat 11 by the two sliding tracks 1315. The first actuator 1312, which can be a push button, is installed on the first tray body 1311 and located on a front side of the first tray body 1311. The two engaging components 1314 are movably disposed on the two sliding tracks 1315 respectively for restraining or allowing sliding movement of the first tray body 1311 relative to the child seat 11. Each of the two driven components 1313 is connected to the first actuator 1312 and the corresponding engaging component 1314. In such a way, the first actuator 1312 can drive the two driven components 1313 to disengage the two engaging components 1314 from the child seat 11 to allow the first tray body 1311 to slide relative to the child seat 11 when the first actuator 1312 is operated.
