| 20090015046 | CHILD SEAT LINER - A child seat liner provides a comfortable, safe, and hygienic environment for a child seated in a seat such as a shopping cart or a highchair. Child seat liners according to various embodiments of the invention include padding around the leg openings, multiple storage areas for the caregiver, a continuous, elastic front edge for stretching over and gripping a handle of a shopping cart or a front of a seat, one or more sets of fasteners for securing the liner in a rolled-up position, and an adjustable strap that allows the liner to be secured to the back of the seat more securely. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090077738 | REDUNDANT SUPPORT FEATURE FOR BASSINET ASSEMBLY AND PLAY YARD COMBINATION - Various embodiments include a play yard and bassinet assembly combination. The play yard includes upper and lower horizontal frame members vertically spaced apart from each other, vertical frame members disposed between the upper and lower horizontal frame members, first and second redundant support members, and first and second mating redundant support members. The first redundant support member and the second redundant support member are disposed in a spaced apart arrangement adjacent a first vertical frame member a second vertical frame member, respectively. The first and second mating redundant support members are disposed adjacent an outer perimeter of the floor of the bassinet assembly. The first mating redundant support member is configured for engaging the first redundant support member, and the second mating redundant support member is configured for engaging the second redundant support member to provide additional vertical support for the floor of the bassinet assembly. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090077739 | PLAY YARD AND BASSINET ASSEMBLY - Various embodiments are directed to a bassinet assembly that includes an inclinable floor that can be supported above a support surface using one or more zippers. For example, the bassinet assembly includes a floor and side walls that extend upwardly from and surround the floor. The floor includes an inclinable flap, and a row of zipper teeth are disposed along at least a portion of a perimeter of the inclinable flap. A mating row of zipper teeth are disposed on at least a portion of the side walls, and when one or more zippers engage the rows of zipper teeth to join them together, the inclinable flap is secured at an angle greater than 0° relative to the floor. In addition, various embodiments are directed to a bassinet assembly that can be secured within a play yard using one or more zippers. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090077740 | SUPPORT FOR AN INCLINABLE BASSINET ASSEMBLY - Various embodiments include a bassinet assembly that includes one or more rods and a floor that includes an inclinable flap. Each rod has a static portion and an inclined portion, and the rods are disposed below upper surfaces of the floor and the inclinable flap. A first longitudinal axis of the static portion and a second longitudinal axis of the inclined portion intersect at an angle greater than 0° and less than about 90°. When the inclinable flap is raised above the floor, the rods rotate about the first longitudinal axis such that the first and second longitudinal axes are in a plane substantially perpendicular to the support surface, and when the inclinable flap is allowed to lay substantially flat against the floor, the rods rotate about the first longitudinal axis such that the first and second longitudinal axes are in a plane substantially parallel to the support surface. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090077741 | MESH ARRANGEMENT FOR BASSINET ASSEMBLY - According to various embodiments, a bassinet assembly includes a floor and one or more side walls that extend upwardly from a perimeter of the floor and surround the floor. Each side wall has an upper perimeter and includes a mesh portion that extends substantially the height of the side wall from the upper perimeter to the floor. Each side wall also includes a substantially solid wall portion that extends from the upper perimeter to an intermediate portion disposed between the upper perimeter and the floor. At least a portion of the side wall between the intermediate portion and the floor of the bassinet assembly is mesh to allow a child lying therein to breathe. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090077742 | COLLAPSIBLE PLAY YARD AND BASSINET ASSEMBLY COMBINATION - Various embodiments include a collapsible play yard and bassinet assembly combination. The floor of the play yard comprises a release mechanism attached to lower horizontal frame members of the play yard, and when the release mechanism is engaged, the lower horizontal frame members are moved upwardly and inwardly to collapse the play yard. The bassinet assembly has a floor and one or more side walls that have an upper perimeter, and the upper perimeter is adapted for securing adjacent the upper perimeter of the play yard. The floor of the bassinet assembly also defines an opening that allows a user to reach through the opening to access and engage the release mechanism without removing the bassinet assembly from the play yard. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090077775 | ZIPPER PULL TAB LOCK - Various embodiments include a zipper pull tab lock for releasably securing a zipper pull tab to prevent movement of a zipper relative to rows of zipper teeth. A protrusion or paw within the zipper pull tab lock engages the hole defined in the zipper pull tab to prevent removal of the zipper pull tab from the zipper pull tab lock. To release the zipper pull tab from the zipper pull tab lock, a user depresses an release tab (or button) disposed adjacent the upper surface of the zipper pull tab lock, which causes the protrusion or paw within the zipper pull tab lock to move downwardly and disengage from the hole of the zipper pull tab, allowing the pull tab to be slidably disengaged from the zipper pull tab lock. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100151951 | Electromagnetic Swing - Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a powered children's swing. In various embodiments, the swing includes a seat, swing frame, one or more swing arms, a first magnetic component, second magnetic component, swing motion sensor, and swing control circuit. The magnetic components are configured to generate a magnetic force that drives the seat along a swing path. The swing control circuit is configured to control the magnetic components based at least on input from the swing motion sensor and generate control signals causing the seat to swing with a substantially constant amplitude as specified by a user. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100264719 | CHILD CONTAINMENT DEVICE AND RETENTION DEVICE ASSEMBLY - A retention device is assembled to a child containment device and is rotatable about each side of the retention device. In particular, the retention device (e.g., a tray or toy bar) includes a first engagement portion adjacent a first end of the retention device and a second engagement portion adjacent a second end of the retention device. The child containment device includes a seat portion, a first frame member adjacent a first side of the seat portion, and a second frame member adjacent a second side of the seat portion. Mating engagement portions are disposed on each frame member and engage the engagement portions of the retention device. To rotate the retention device relative to the child containment device, one of the engagement portions is disengaged from the respective mating engagement portion, and the retention device is rotated relative the other engagement portion. | 10-21-2010 |
