Abstract: A child safety gate includes a frame having a first side and a second side configured to be removably mounted to opposing sides of a passageway. The gate further includes a door pivotably coupled to the first side and releasably coupled to the second side and a release mechanism coupled to the first side of the frame and pivotably coupled to the door. The release mechanism includes a foot pedal and is configured to move the door from a closed and locked position to an open position when the foot pedal is sufficiently actuated.

Abstract: A child safety lock for a lever door handle is rotatably mounted on a first side of a door and is biased in a first position. The child safety lock has a holder adapted to engage the door handle so that rotating the door handle rotates the holder. A cover is pivotally mounted on the holder and is shaped to cover the holder. A lock assembly is disposed in a vicinity of the door handle. The lock assembly selectively engages the cover for preventing rotation of the cover.

Abstract: A remote sound monitor includes a receiver unit and a transmitter unit. The transmitter unit includes a sound transducer that receives the sound input and converts the sound input to the audio signal, and an audio transmitter that transmits the audio signal. The receiver unit includes an audio receiver that receives a transmitted audio signal having a parameter that corresponds to an amplitude of a remote sound input, and a display that provides a visual indication of the parameter of the audio signal. The display providing the visual indication can flash, strobe, or change colors in response to a change in amplitude of the sound input. The receiver unit can also include an audio speaker with a user-actuated amplification stage to provide remote audio output of the sound input.

Abstract: An adaptable probe assembly for a measuring instrument includes a probe module and a plurality of probe ends. The probe module is adapted to provide a parameter value signal to a base unit of the measuring instrument. Each of the probe ends is adapted to be removably communicatively connected to the probe module such that a parameter measurement taken by the probe end is provided to the base unit as the corresponding parameter value signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting an infant in a bathtub includes a base, a fabric frame, a frame support, and a fabric cover. The base has a peripheral structure and an inner aperture. The fabric frame defines first and second planes forming a frame angle. The fabric frame is coupled to the base at the frame angle. The frame support is coupled to the base and to the fabric frame. The fabric cover is removably attached to the fabric frame.

Abstract: A baby bath seat assembly includes a support member 30 having a mounting bracket 34 that clamps onto a tube wall 18 and carrying a support 36 that extends downwardly into the tub. The support 31 carries a base 38 on which the scat 40 is mounted to turn through approximately 180°, and a detent mechanism 110 releasably locks the seat in any selected position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a booster seat configured to carry a child and adapted to be supported by at least one of a chair and seat. The booster seat includes a base portion and at least one rotatable spool connected with the booster seat. Also included is at least one spool strap having one end windable about the at least one rotatable spool and having a first connector at a free end of the at least one spool strap, the free end extending outside the booster seat. Further included is at least one associated second connector connected with the booster seat to connect with the first connector to secure the booster seat to the at least one of a chair and seat. The present disclosure also relates to a method for securing the booster seat to a support and a method of unsecuring the booster seat and storing the spool straps and connectors.

Abstract: A booster seat having a base 10 with foldable legs 20 to raise and lower the base. A seat assembly 12 is provided on the base having a seating surface 50 and arms 52. A backrest 14 is pivotally connected to the seat assembly 12 and moves between an operative erect position and a stored collapsed position wherein it lies substantially parallel to and closely adjacent the seating surface 50. A tray 16 is selective mountable on the seat assembly 12 for use by a child seated in the booster and a stored position on the bottom of the base 10. A retractable strap assembly is mounted in the base having one pair of straps 168 and 169 for wrapping around the seat and a second pair of straps 164 and 165 for wrapping around the back of a chair on which the booster is supported.

Abstract: A small child's bath station that provides support for a child during bathing. The bath station collapses to a smaller volume for storage and transport. The bath station includes at least two tub sections having an operative position defining a bath tub with a bath cavity and an inoperative position wherein the volume of the bath cavity is reduced for storage and transportation. The bath station may also include a bath ring assembly moveable between an inoperative position and an operative position for providing support to a child in a sitting position within the bath cavity.

Abstract: A child's activity center that may alternately be assembled as a stationary activity center with a seat for very young children and as a floor play set for older children. As a stationary activity center the assembly has a base that rests on the floor with upwardly extending legs that support a tray above the base. The tray may be removed from the base and placed on the floor next to it and a connector unites the tray and base together. Toys are provided on the tray and base that have a common theme to allow the activity center to grow as the young child grows so as to hold the child's interest for a long period of time.

Abstract: A security gate for closing a passage has a pair of panels movable translationally with respect to one another to alter the effective width of the gate. An actuating mechanism for forcing the opposite ends of the panels against the sides of the passage includes a handle mounted on one of the panels controlling a latching device operative for locking the handle in a fixed relationship with respect to the other of the panels. The latching device in accordance with one embodiment includes a rack and brake. When the latch is engaged, a cam also controlled by the handle engages the panel on which the handle is mounted to force the two panels translationally further apart so as to bear firmly against the sides of the passage to hold the gate in position.
