Abstract: A chair is provided which includes a first floor and seat engaging frame member and a second floor and seat engaging frame member pivotally joined to one another to permit collapsing of the chair from an erected seating position to a substantially coextensive position. In addition, the first and second frame members each include a substantially straight bight end portion angled with respect to the respective frame members. Also included is a seat surface-providing member of a shape having a first pocket for engaging and enclosing an extremity of the first bight of the first frame member and at a second end a second pocket for engaging and enclosing an extremity of the second bight of the second frame member. The first and second bight end portions provide the only support for the seat-supporting member.

Abstract: A movable storage container is provided for use under a piece of furniture having at least one leg. The container includes a frame, a basket mounted on the frame for movement therewith, and a hinge. The basket is formed to include an item-storage region therein. The hinge is formed to pivot about an axis of a leg of a piece of furniture and coupled to the frame so that the frame end basket are movable as a unit relative to the piece of furniture about the leg.

Abstract: A cup holder is provided to attach to a piece of furniture. The cup holder includes a base formed to include spaced-apart side-by-side cup receiving receptacles, a mounting fixture apended to the base, and spaced-apart furniture engaging clamps apended to the mounting fixture. The mounting fixture includes a V-shaped channel formed by a V-shaped side wall and a V-shaped flange which allows the cup holder to engage two sides of the piece of furniture (e.g., the corner of a table).

Abstract: A movable utility cart includes a frame and a tray assembly appended to the frame. A latch assembly is provided to move between an engaged position coupling the tray assembly to the frame and a disengaged position uncoupling the tray assembly from the frame.

Abstract: An end frame assembly includes an outer frame, a lower support attached to the outer frame, and a plurality of spindles attached between the outer frame and the lower support. Heat deformable connectors are disposed between the outer frame and the lower support subsequent to painting the outer frame, lower support, and spindles. A plurality of rivets are used to connect the outer frame to selected spindles.

Abstract: A child swing motor apparatus includes a swing motor and a mechanism for using energy discharged from the swing motor to swing a child seat hanging from a child swing frame. The apparatus also includes an indicator for visually indicating the remaining run time of the swing motor during running of the swing motor to swing the child seat. The swing motor includes a spring and a spring winding mechanism. An escapement mechanism is also provided to impart pendulum motion to the swinging child seat using torque generated by the spring.

Abstract: A foldable stroller is provided for transporting a child. The stroller has a seat unit including a rigid panel-like seat bottom and back joined together with a collapsible frame assembly.

Abstract: An infant restraint device is provided for securing and supporting an infant inside a motor vehicle. The device includes a shell assembly having upper and lower shell portions pivotally coupled together. The upper shell portion can be positioned in either a first generally planar orientation or in a second angular orientation with respect to the lower shell portion. A locking mechanism is provided for securing the upper and lower shell portions together in either the first or second orientations. In the first generally planar orientation, the device provides a car bed for the infant. In the second angular orientation, the device provides a standard rear-facing infant seat. A collapsible lower support surface provides a seat for the infant when the device is in the angular orientation. The lower support surface bends along a flexible portion when the upper shell portion of the device moves to the planar orientation to provide a generally planar support surface for the infant.
