RELATED APPLICATION [0001]This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/785,489 filed Mar. 24, 2006. The entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF INVENTION [0002]The invention generally relates to restraining a chair to a table. More specifically, this invention relates to child proofing a table set by restraining the chairs in order to prevent a child from climbing on the chair. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003]Everything is new and exciting to a child. Naturally active and curious, children tend to use everyday objects in unsafe ways. From outlets to window screens, everyday objects become toys to small children. However, unapproved use of an object or device can be very dangerous to a child. Thus, child proofing is very important for a home where small children are present. [0004]Given the importance of protecting children, several companies produce devices that serve to protect children. These devices work to eliminate or reduce the dangers created when active children use the object inappropriately. Even though there have been a lot of products created to childproof objects and devices, there remain areas where the risk of harm still exists. [0005]A table set can serve one function for adults and another for children. Where an adult may use the table set as a place to eat or work, a child may see it as a jungle gym. Assessable chairs pose a serious risk of injury for children. All too often, children use chairs as a means for reaching higher areas. Children also climb on chairs and rock on them, which can result in the child falling over. [0006]It is desirable to provide a way to childproof tables and chairs that overcomes these and other disadvantages. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007]One aspect of the invention provides at least one strap member and a strap receiver member for restraining a chair to a table. The strap comprises two ends with part of an attachment device on at least one end. The strap receiver comprises an adhesive back and at least one part of an attachment device on the front. The adhesive back of the strap receiver attaches to the underside of a table while the strap restrains the chair and attaches to the strap receiver. [0008]Another aspect of the invention provides a method for child proofing a table. The method comprises securing at least one strap receiver member to an underside of a table, positioning a chair adjacent the table, securing a first end of a strap to the strap receiver member, placing the strap around a portion of a chair, and securing a second end of the strap to the strap receiving member [0009]The forgoing embodiment and other embodiments, objects and aspects as well as features and advantages of the present invention will become further apparent from the following detailed description of various embodiments of the present invention. The detailed description and drawings are merely illustrative of the present invention, rather than limiting the scope of the present invention defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0010]FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of the child safety chair restraining system made in accordance with the present invention; [0011]FIGS. 2A, 2B & 2C illustrate one embodiment of the child safety chair restraining system made in accordance with the present invention; [0012]FIG. 3 illustrates another embodiment of the child safety restraining system made in accordance with the present invention; [0013]FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention; [0014]FIG. 5 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention; and [0015]FIG. 6 illustrates one embodiment of a method of child proofing a table set in accordance with the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0016]FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a child safety chair restraining system 100. Child safety chair restraining system 100 comprises a strap member 101, a strap receiver member 104 and at least one fastener element. As illustrated in FIG. 1, strap member 101 is an elongated strip of material. Strap member 101 may comprise a braided or woven material, such as, for example, braided or woven nylon or cotton. In another embodiment, the strap member comprises a plastic material. Strap member 101 may also comprise a leather material. Strap member includes a first end 102 and a second end 103. The length of strap member 101 is sufficient to wrap around a chair and attach to a receiver member secured to a table situated adjacent the chair. [0017]Strap receiver member 104 comprises a strip of material that may be of various lengths. The material may be the same as, or similar to, those materials described above for strap member 101. In another embodiment, strap receiver member comprises a polymeric material. Strap receiver member 104 has a front surface 105 and a back surface (not shown). The back surface of strap receiver member 104 includes an adhesion portion for contacting and securing strap receiver member 104 to a portion of the table. In one embodiment, the adhesion portion is an adhesive material. Those with skill in the art will recognize that strap receiver member 104 may attach to the table in a myriad of fashions and is not limited to an adhesive material. In an example, strap receiver member 104 may attach to the table using staples or other fastener devices well known in the art. [0018]Child safety chair restraining system 100 includes two fastener elements 106 and 107. Fastener elements 106 and 107 connect strap member 101 to strap receiver member 104. Fastener element 106 comprises a first mating member 106A and a second mating member 106B. Likewise, fastener element 107 has a first mating member 107A and a second mating member 107B. First mating member 106A is disposed adjacent first end 102 of strap member 101. The second mating member 106B is attached to strap receiver member 104. The first mating member 107A of fastener element 107 is disposed adjacent the second end 103 of strap member 101. The second mating member 107B of fastener 107 is attached to strap receiver member 104. Continue reading about Child safety chair restraining system...
