  • Patent number: 7937786
    Abstract: A bed for a child has a sack of a flexible material, which by a bottom rests on the floor and which has the mouth part thereof connected to a rectangular frame. The frame is formed of two frame parts, which are mutually connected via folding fittings that allow the frame parts to be folded into a parallel and overlapping relation. The frame is provided with one obliquely outward downward sloping leg in each corner. The legs are configured to fold back against the underside of the respective frame part in order to lie within the area of the frame part. The free end of the respective leg is connected to an adjacent bottom corner of the sack in order to facilitate the folding-out and collapsing, respectively, of the bag in connection with the erection and collapse, respectively, of the child's bed.

  • Publication number: 20110016678
    Abstract: Strap buckle comprising a frame (4) with a reverse side and an upper side, which frame has an anchorage end (at 2) and a free end (7) and an opening (6) between those two ends, the side edges of which are designed as guides (10, 11) and the edge of which that lies adjacent to the free end forms a counter edge (8), as well as a locking means (5) arranged in the opening to be displaceable on the guides. The locking means (5) is provided on the guides (10, 11) with a clearance (16) so that it is slanted in relation to the guides when a pulling force is exerted on the strap (18) laid around the locking means. The locking means (5) is on its side lying at the reverse side of the frame designed with a lip (17) protruding towards the free end of the frame in order to, in cooperation with said counter edge (8), exert line pressure against the strap when the strap is loaded.

  • Patent number: 7343880
    Abstract: A child harness has two strap loops which pass around respective shoulders of the wearer and which are mutually connected by a fastener on the rear side of the harness. The harness has a child carrying pouch on the front side, so as to be supported on the chest side of the wearer. The fastener slides readily along the strap loops to assume a position that is controlled by the magnitude and the direction of the forces applied via the strap portions that connect with the fastener. The harness has a waist belt which connects with the fastener on the rear side of the harness so as to limit the distance of the fastener from the waist belt. The back piece is generally triangular in shape, with the top of the triangle connected to the fastener, and functions to transfer load to the lower part of the wearer's back.

  • Patent number: 7076807
    Abstract: A child's bib includes a plastic string (5, 55, 56) which has a free-bearing part (55, 56) that extends from one end of the edge of the neck-surrounding recess of the bib to the front piece thereof and terminating in the proximity of the other end of the edge of said recess, said plastic string having the form of a series of beads (51) that are mutually separated by waist portions. Located at the free end portion of the string is a fastener (30) in the form of a rounded button which includes a notch-like recess (32) that receives the string and that has a restraining element (33, 34) which engages a waist portion (52) situated between two beads (51) in the string (56). The fastener is slightly undercut so as to be able to hold the string firmly with a limited force.

  • Patent number: 7070076
    Abstract: A child-supporting shoulder harness includes a flexible front piece which is connected in the harness to form a child-supporting pouch. The front piece includes a length-adjustable connecting device which extends between two horizontal, mutually spaced points on the front piece, so as to enable the width of the pouch to be varied. When the width is reduced, the lateral end-parts of the front piece are deformed in a way that reduces the wedging action between the wearer's chest and the baby's head and provides a comfortable lateral head support for a sleeping baby.
