Publication number: 20190082848Abstract: An adaptable chair with multiple adjustable components that may be configured by the user for various seating positions, particularly to change between conventional and cross-legged seating position. The adaptable chair's seating surface is comprised of a set of separate surface components for each of the user's right and left thighs. In a conventional seating configuration, the seating surface components are in a closed or joined position and the footrest in an unobtrusive position. To configure the chair for cross-legged seating, the seat components for each thigh may be moved apart to allow a user cross-legged seating position and rest the feet and lower legs upon the footrest. The disclosure describes various means of adjustment to the thigh supports and footrest, and mechanisms for actuating the various configurations to maximize comfort and ease of use.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2017Publication date: March 21, 2019Inventor: David Christopher McClintock

Patent number: 10052264Abstract: A toy includes a multi-connector for removable attachment to a variety of different styles of soothing devices such as pacifiers. The multi-connector includes one or more transverse tabs configured for individually or collectively releasably attaching to each of the different coupling part styles of the smoothing devices. In this way, the toy can be used with any of the different styles of soothing devices and still be safe because the axial pulling motion and forces that babies often apply to the toy when holding the pacifier in its mouth do not cause the components to separate. Also disclosed is a toy with a tab (transverse or not) that is retained on the toy by a primary attachment such as stitching and a secondary retainer for redundancy as a safety feature.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: KIDS II, INC.Inventors: Christopher McClintock, Brittany Elson, Bradford Reese

Publication number: 20170252663Abstract: An access adjustable play gym including an entertainment component supported above a support surface by a support arm coupled to a base configured to rest on a support surface. The play gym provides multiple points of adjustability, including user adjustment of a rotational angle of the entertainment component relative to the support arm, of the inclination angle of the support arm relative to the base, and/or of the length of the support arm and thereby the height of the entertainment component.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2017Publication date: September 7, 2017Applicant: KIDS II, INC.Inventors: Eden PETERSON, Christopher McCLINTOCK, Nicholas Brian HANSEN

Patent number: 9320975Abstract: A combination soother-toy device includes a soothing device such as a pacifier, a toy such as a plush animal character, and a coupling that removably attaches them together. In some embodiments, the coupling includes a transverse tab and a transverse opening that couple and decouple by a transverse motion. In this way, the axial pulling motion and forces that babies often apply to the toy when holding the pacifier in its mouth do not cause the components to separate. In some embodiments, the tab (transverse or not) is retained on the toy by a primary attachment such as stitching and a secondary retainer for redundancy as a safety feature. For example, the secondary retainer can be a tether attaching the tab extension arm to the toy, or wings extending from the tab extension arm laterally beyond the toy opening through which the extension arm extends.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: KIDS II, INC.Inventors: Christopher McClintock, Brittany Elson, Bradford Reese

Publication number: 20130115848Abstract: An activity toy or stacker having two or more stackable components that can be assembled into multiple configurations. Surface engagement features retain the stackable components in a self-supporting assembly without an internal frame or support pole, and self-align the stackable components as they are assembled. The surface engagement features of the components are universally interengagable to allow the components to nest with one another in various assembly configurations and orientations.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2012Publication date: May 9, 2013Applicant: KIDS II, INC.Inventors: David E.
