Abstract: An infant-supporting chair. The chair may include a seat and a tray assembly that includes a releasable mechanical latching system for retainingly engaging the tray assembly to the seat when the tray assembly is in a latching position. The chair may further include a tray guidance system that is configured to guide the tray assembly into the latching position. The tray guidance system may comprise at least one magnet feature in the seat and at least one other magnet feature in the tray assembly. Once latched, the tray may be slidably positioned relative to the seat while remaining latched thereto. The seat may be movably supported on a frame assembly and a seat positioning system may be included to selectively retain the seat at desired heights on the frame assembly.

Abstract: A lightweight collapsible stroller is provided. The stroller includes: a frame including a first portion movable relative to a second portion; a drive mechanism coupled to the frame, which moves the first portion relative to the second portion, thereby transitioning the frame between an open position and a closed position; and a latch mounted to the frame. The latch is positioned to engage at least a portion of the first portion or the second portion when the frame is in its open position to restrict the first portion from moving relative to the second portion. Upon actuation, the drive mechanism causes the latch to release, such that the first portion of the frame moves relative to the second portion of the frame, thereby allowing the frame to transition to the closed position.

Abstract: A stroller is provided, which includes a frame and a drive mechanism coupled to the frame and configured to transition the frame between an open position and a closed position. The drive mechanism includes: a cable drive; at least one spool rotated by the cable drive; at least one cable received by the at least one spool and connected to the frame; and at least one biasing member connected to the at least one cable for removing slack from the at least one cable. The stroller is configured such that rotation of the at least one spool by the cable drive causes the cable to exert a force against the frame to transition the frame between the open position and the closed position or between the closed position and the open position.

Abstract: A foldable play yard apparatus is provided. The play yard includes a frame having a plurality of upright posts. The posts have a top, a bottom, and a clamp connected to at least one longitudinal side of the post. The play yard further includes a flexible enclosure having a plurality of edges inserted in the clamps to form walls between the upright posts. The clamp includes: a housing having an opening for receiving the edge of the enclosure and defining an interior channel within the housing; a flag piece, which is positioned in the interior channel of the housing, connected to the edge of the enclosure; and a locking piece positioned across the interior channel from the flag piece. A frictional engagement between the locking piece and the flag piece maintains the flag piece and the edge connected thereto within the interior channel.

Abstract: A foldable structure includes: an upper assembly forming an upper portion of the structure; a base assembly forming a lower portion of the structure; a centrally-located hub assembly operatively connected to the base assembly; and a post extending from each corner of the upper assembly to a corner of the base assembly. The upper assembly includes a plurality of arm assemblies. At least one latching mechanism is provided at each corner of the upper assembly extending from an upper portion of at least one of the posts to a portion of at least one of the arm assemblies.

Abstract: Provided herein is a lightweight stroller that can be transitioned between a closed position and an open position. The stroller includes a seating portion and at least one frame supporting the seating portion and transitionable from an open position to a closed position. The frame includes at least a front support rotatably connected to rear support. The stroller also includes a cinching strap connected between the front support and the rear support. The cinching strap is configured such that, as the frame transitions from the open position to the closed position, the cinching strap pulls the rear support toward the front support or the front support toward the front support. The cinching strap may at least partially maintain the front support and the rear support in the closed position. The cinching strap may include a flexible portion formed from a string, cable, polymer sheet, braided webbing, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A corner assembly for a foldable child enclosure includes: a corner cover attached to a side post of the foldable child enclosure; a first rail cover mating with a first opening in the corner cover and attached to a first upper arm of the foldable child enclosure; and a second rail cover mating with a second opening in the corner cover and attached to a second upper arm of the foldable child enclosure. The first rail cover and the second rail cover move relative to the corner cover as the foldable child enclosure is moved from a folded position to an open position.
