Patent number: 7779491Abstract: A convertible support apparatus for supporting an object over a ground surface is convertible between an operating configuration and a storage configuration. The support apparatus may comprise side members, a support area configured to connect to the side members, and a bow truss configured to bow. When the device is assembled in the operating configuration, both the support area and the bow truss are connected between the side members and the bow truss is configured to bow and place the support area under tension. The bow truss may comprise a bow tube connected between two foot fixtures. In one embodiment, when the apparatus is supporting a sufficiently heavy object, the bow tube will bow and contact the ground surface and provide additional support to the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2008Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Inventor: Bruce Arthur Warren

Publication number: 20100205737Abstract: A collapsible cot with support legs that folds under the cot. This allows the cot support fabric to be attached at the ends of the support rails and keep the support fabric tight. This eliminates the need to have and extra support bar across the front and back of the cot.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2009Publication date: August 19, 2010Inventor: Andrew Peterson

Patent number: 7770246Abstract: A foldable bed having a frame and a cover attached to the frame. The frame has two handles, two identical side beams each having a pair of groove beams pivotally connected to one of the handles, connectors and bars pivotally connected to the handles or the connectors. The foldable bed is able to be folded by a simple action of pulling the handle upward meanwhile stepping on the peddling member. And it is able to be expanded by a simple action of breaking off the two groove beams with two hands of a user. Furthermore, the foldable bed occupies relatively small storing space when folded since a width of the folded bed is much shorter than that of the expanded one's.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2007Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Inventor: Libin Chen

Patent number: 7614098Abstract: A support system with repositionable bolsters with a panel of material, which can comprise elastomeric mesh, and bolsters repositionably securable to the panel of material. The panel of material can be retained relative to a bed or other structure or by a frame, which can be foldable. The bolsters, which can be formed with a breathable mesh shell, can be secured to the panel of material by a plurality of extendable and retractable fingers for being received through apertures in the panel of elastomeric material, by at least one expansible structure for being received through the apertures in the panel of elastomeric material and expanded, or by pivotable arms adjustable between generally parallel and non-parallel dispositions. The support system can be used independently or incorporated within a crib, bassinet, car seat, high chair, swing, bouncing seat or support, or any other support structure.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2009Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Inventor: Veronica Quarry
