Patent number: 11304539Abstract: A child support device includes a seat and a panel included in or adjacent to the seat. The panel includes a first panel portion including a panel edge defining a panel opening. The first panel portion has a first heat transfer coefficient. A location of the panel opening corresponds to a heat transfer region in which an expected heat received from a child in the seat is greater than a heat reception threshold. A second panel portion is in the panel opening and attached to the panel edge. The second panel portion includes a layered mesh having a second heat transfer coefficient greater than the first heat transfer coefficient and greater than a threshold heat transfer coefficient at which a temperature of the second panel portion while receiving the expected heat is greater than a room temperature by less than a threshold difference, wherein the threshold difference is at most five degrees Fahrenheit.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: KIDS2, INC.Inventors: Heather Tootell, Casey Harris, Stephen Burns, Eric Lange

Patent number: 9693639Abstract: A child-supporting device including a child-seat assembly mounted to and supported by a rocker frame assembly. The seat assembly includes a backrest, a footrest, or both, pivotably adjustable between reclined and inclined positions. A recline adjustment mechanism is operable to selectively lock the seat in the reclined or inclined position for use, then release the seat for pivotal adjustment to the other position. In some embodiments, a linkage interconnects the backrest and the footrest so that pivoting one of them synchronously pivots the other one. And in some embodiments, the footrest is detachable and a quick connect/disconnect mechanism is provided that permits operation of the recline adjustment mechanism when the footrest is attached.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: KIDS II, INC.Inventors: Daniel Corso, Eric A.
