Abstract: Devices and methods for moving a person having a support base, a linear vertical movement assembly, a linear horizontal movement assembly, and a body support for the person, such that the linear movement assemblies operate independently and can be separately commanded by a user.

Abstract: An exercise assistive device to help a developmentally developed person, or a physically or neurologically impaired person, such as a child or adult, develop vestibular balance and muscle control, so that the person can learn to perform mobility activities, such as crawling, sitting upright, standing or walking. The device includes a support frame supporting a body suit that is moved longitudinally, and optionally transversely and rotationally. The body suit may be optionally spinally supported. The body suit is optionally suspended from either a hand-held frame, like a marionette, or from a floor-mounted, wall-mounted or ceiling mounted frame with a glidable support dolly. Flexible connector straps are provided between the body suit and body suit glidable support dolly and made of a material such as reinforced fabric, elastic or canvas. These connector straps are positioned in spaced-apart relation to one another about the body suit.

Abstract: Drop side of a child-proof crib has a top portion which can be lowered with respect to its bottom portion. Its top railing is rendered vertically translatable by employing telescoping stiles between it and the bottom railing. Double-action latch mechanisms in the upper railing hold the drop-side upper portion up. The drop-side upper railing has an upper bar fixedly secured upon a lower bar: the lower surface of the upper bar opens to a longitudinally-extending groove slidably receiving rods of the two latches that are biased outwardly from central triggers to beyond the outer ends of the railing to where they each engage on their free ends a shoulder-bearing latch bracket mounted on the opposing face of the associated corner post. Crib mattress platform is adjustable vertically using plunger latch mechanisms whose plungers are withdrawable only by inserting a tool through a narrow slot in the platform.
