Abstract: A motor operated swing or the like is disclosed which includes a canopy supported by legs which in turn has mounted therein a reciprocable closed carriage which supports a swing seat, cradle or the like and encloses the motor mechanism and the controls therefor. The canopy has outer enclosing end plates and inner end plates which are readily assembled to the canopy, with the inner end plates supporting a spring winding shaft with a spring tube thereon surrounded by the motor spring. A friction free escapement of synthetic plastic is provided which includes a toothed ratchet wheel, a gravity actuated safety pawl, a gravity actuated safety dog and a gravity actuated actuator for successively actuating said pawl and dog, the motor spring being connected at one end to the carriage and at the other end to the ratchet wheel. The escapement has double safety provisions for the pawl and dog, is constructed so as to be readily assembled without extra parts, and has accessible provisions for unwinding, if desired.

Abstract: A high chair is provided having tubular metal arms of special configuration and with spaced grooves for locking a tray, the tray having resiliently urged locking hooks for engagement below the arms in a plurality of positions by one or the other of double hook portions, one of which hook portions retains the tray against separation from the arms and the other of which retains the tray against separation from the arms and also locks the tray against forward or rearward movement, the tray being readily removed by manual retraction of the locking hooks.

Abstract: A baby walker is disclosed which has a tray with an opening within which the baby is seated, the tray having a seat supported thereby below the opening, the tray being supported from a base frame by foldable legs, the base frame in turn being carried on casters.

Abstract: An improved educational device comprises a hand held paddle-shaped device having a windowed front plate, a back plate, and rotatably interposed therebetween two circular disks, a first disk for displaying problem and solution indicia through the windowed front plate and a second disk for temporarily masking the display of the solution indicia. Tabs on the two disks permit both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the disks to a problem indicia displaying position. Subsequently, under the control of the operator of the improved educational device, the masking disk is rotated relative to the displaying disk, either manually as in one embodiment of the invention or automatically by a spring or other like means as in alternate embodiments to permit the display of both problem and solution indicia. As preferred, the display disk may be made easily interchangeable with other displaying disks having differing problem and solution indicia.

Abstract: A seat construction for a baby swing is disclosed having a flexible fabric seat and back supported by a wire frame, a molded synthetic plastic tray being provided in front of the flexible seat and which has the wire frame engaged therewith, the frame and tray being constructed to facilitate assembly and folding for storage, the seat construction being supported from a swing frame by rods at the front extending through the tray and engaged with the frame and at the back by hooked supports engaging the frame at upper corners thereof.
