    Abstract: A folding play structure is provided. The play structure is convertible between a storage position and a use position, and has first, second, third and fourth sidewalls. A center beam is positioned between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. A first foldable frame structure joins one end of the first sidewall to one end of the second sidewall, and a second foldable frame structure joins the other end of the first sidewall to the other end of the second sidewall. A frame lock is provided and is prevented from moving when the play structure is in the use position to retain the structure in the use position. The structure has legs, a slide and a ladder.

  • Patent number: 11439743
    Abstract: An accessory attachment mechanism for a wagon is provided. The mechanism has a mounting bracket, a pivot arm, and a retention mechanism. The mounting bracket is connected to the wagon and has a first opening, a second opening, and a pivot member. The pivot arm is pivotally connected to the mounting bracket at the pivot member and pivots about a plane generally parallel to a base of the wagon between a storage position and a use position. A pin extends through the pivot arm into separate openings in the mounting bracket to retain the pivot arm in the storage and use positions.

  • Patent number: 11358675
    Abstract: A lockable steering mechanism for a children's ride-on vehicle is provided. The steering mechanism has a steering shaft coupled to a steering link that is coupled to the vehicle's front wheels. A steering wheel is axially fixed to the steering shaft. A lifter guide is rotationally and axially fixed to the steering shaft, and a lifter is rotationally fixed to and axially moveable about the lifter guide. A rotatable locking ring rotates from a first position to a second position. The lifter engages the steering wheel when the locking ring is in the first position to rotationally fix the steering wheel to the steering shaft. The lifter is rotationally decoupled from the steering wheel when the locking ring is in a second position to rotationally decouple the steering wheel from the steering shaft.
