US Patent 7407232 Seat for a child

A seat for a child 1 includes a seat portion 10 on which a child can sit, and a pair of armrests 30 disposed on right and left sides of the seat portion 10, each armrest 30 having a relatively larger thickness. Each of the armrest 30 has a body member 32 and an upper half member 33. The upper half member 33 is attached to the body member 32 through hinge mechanisms 35 and 36, such that the upper half member 33 can be pivoted outward. The pivotable upper half member 31 can be moved outward relative to the hinge mechanisms 35 and 36. An upper surface 31a of the pivoted upper half member 31 of the armrest 30 and an upper surface 32a of the body member 32 of the armrest 30 are flush with each other.
