Abstract

A multifunctional children'"'"'s gear generally comprises a chair, a supporting bracket, a pair of front legs, a pair of rear legs, and a pair of handle grips that has a J-shape, a footrest, and four wheels. When projected posts of the supporting bracket are released from the receiving posts of the front legs, the front and rear legs can be folded together and the receiving posts of the front leg can be clamped between the side portion of the rear legs and the J-shape handle grip. Meanwhile, the projected posts of the supporting bracket can be inserted into the receiving holes of the fixing plate respectively to form a table seat. Alternatively, the cushion pad of the chair can be released from the dowel pins of the supporting bracket and the chair can be used as a car seat.

a chair having a rectangular cushion pad, wherein a bottom of said cushion pad is provided with four receiving holes;

a supporting bracket including a bottom four dowel pins on a top side of the supporting bracket corresponding to said receiving holes in said cushion pad such that said chair can be fixedly attached to said supporting bracket through insertion of said dowel pins into said four receiving holes of said cushion pad, a bottom side of said supporting bracket being provided with a pair of projected posts;

a pair of front legs, each having an S-shaped configuration and being pivotally attached to the bottom of said supporting bracket by means of a fixing socket, each of said front legs being each provided with a through hole at a central portion thereof, each of said front legs being further provided with a receiving post that is adjacent to one of said projected posts of the supporting bracket, a top of said receiving post being further provided with a receiving hole such that said one of said projected posts of said supporting bracket can be inserted into said receiving hole in said receiving post of said front leg;

a pair of rear legs also having an S-shaped configuration and being arranged symmetrically with said front legs, said rear legs being provided with a through hole corresponding to said through hole in said front legs, a pair of rivets being applied to pass through said through holes of said front and rear legs such that said front and rear legs are pivotally connected together, a plurality of supporting rods being arranged onto said front and rear legs to increase rigidity of the childseat;

a fixing plate fixedly attached between the front edges of said rear legs, a top of said fixing plate being provided with a pair of receiving holes; and

a pair of J-shaped handle grips pivotally connected to said rear legs in a position adjacent said fixing plate at one end and fixedly connected to a bottom side of a footrest at the other end;

wherein when said projected posts of said supporting bracket are released from said receiving posts of said front legs, said front and rear legs can be unfolded and said receiving posts of said front leg can be clamped between a side portion of said rear legs and said J-shaped handle grip while said projected posts of said supporting bracket can be inserted into said respective receiving holes of said fixing plate to form a table seat; and

wherein said cushion pad of said chair can be released from said dowel pins of said supporting bracket so that said chair can be used as a car seat.
