  • Patent number: 9028293
    Abstract: A dollhouse is moveable from a closed or folded position to an open or unfolded position. In its open configuration, the dollhouse provides one or more play areas on each side of the dollhouse. The dollhouse can be provided with a variety of sensors for detecting play activities and providing feedback such as audible feedback, motion or lights in response to the specific play activities. Feedback can also be produced in response to the order in which the sensors are activated and in response to activation by particular play components to encourage desired play behavior.

  • Publication number: 20140231473
    Abstract: A baby carrier including a back panel, a first strap, and a second strap. The first strap extends from a first upper location of the back panel to a first lower location of the back panel. Similarly, the second strap extends for a second upper location of the back panel to a second lower location of the back panel. The back panel, the first strap, and the second strap define a garment configured to be worn by a user. The back panel, the first strap, and the second strap define a cavity that is configured to receive and secure a baby between the user and the first and the second straps.

  • Patent number: 8807388
    Abstract: A disposable child's drinking cup has a lid with a drinking spout defining multiple open holes sized to resist leakage in the absence of suction, such as by the development of surface tension at the holes, and to allow flow when suction is applied. The holes are formed during molding of the lid. An inner contour of a groove of the lid and an outer contour of the cup body rim are selected to provide a slight snap fit of the lid onto the cup body, to provide a secure seal.

  • Publication number: 20140090175
    Abstract: In another embodiment the invention provides a changing pad including a first panel including a first surface. The first panel defines a perimeter and includes a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. The changing pad further includes a first side panel coupled to the first panel at the first edge and a second side panel coupled to the first panel at the second edge. The changing pad includes a first configuration in which the first side panel and the second side panel are folded over the first panel and a second configuration in which the first side panel is folded to form a first barrier positioned adjacent to the first panel and the second side panel is folded to form a second barrier positioned adjacent to the first panel opposite the first barrier.

  • Publication number: 20140052058
    Abstract: A breast pump provides multiple orientations of the pumping lever with respect to the breast shield. A breast pump includes a liner extending from the breast shield, through the suction chamber, and out of the suction chamber, which liner shields other components of the pump from contamination by the flow of milk through the pump during pumping operation. A breast pumping device includes a pumping lever for manually providing a cyclical vacuum within the suction chamber and an external pumping source, connected to the suction bell, that the user can activate to provide a cyclical vacuum within the suction chamber. A breast pump provides a smaller change in the grip width from when the lever is fully-extended to when the lever is fully-retracted, allowing more comfortable manual pumping.
