Abstract: A bed and pack frame is convertible between an elongated bed frame configuration and a nested pack carrying configuration. The frame includes first and second members, each having first and second spaced side rails. Interconnecting members depend from and interconnect the side rails of each of the first and second members into a rigid support structure. The first and second side rails are releasably interconnectable to form a co-planar bed support frame and are separable so as to be re-arranged in a nested pack carrying configuration.

Abstract: A nursing bottle holder characterized by an elongated, flexible strip of material which is draped around the neck of an infant's attendant. A pair of elastic straps are attached to one end of the strip and are provided with cooperating attachment members which allow them to be formed into a loops adapted to hold a nursing bottle.
