Abstract
A high chair includes a foldable frame having a pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs, a seat and a backrest mounted on the frame between the front legs and between the rear legs, and a pair of pivotal coupler devices, each of which is connected to one of the front legs and one of the rear legs. Each of the coupler devices includes first and second casing halves respectively having substantially circular opposite base walls which are connected pivotally to two opposite ends of a pivot shaft, and which respectively have peripheral flanges substantially extending circumferentially. The peripheral flanges extend toward and overlap one another. The peripheral flange of the first casing half includes a first slot and a second slot which is spaced from the first slot in an angular direction relative to the pivot shaft. A spring-loaded button is mounted on the base wall of the second casing half, and has a button head biased to extend radially and outwardly of a respective one of the peripheral flanges. The first and second casing halves are turnable about the pivot shaft between a first state, in which the button head projects out of the peripheral flange of the first casing half vi…
