Abstract: A cart handle and a baby cart in which cart handle includes a fixed member; a handle body rotatable relative to the fixed member; an engagement part having a first portion that non-rotatably engages the handle body and slidably engages the handle body, and having a second portion that non-rotatably engages the fixed member; and an operation part that is actuated to alternately displace the engagement part to an unlocked position, wherein the second portion is not in engagement with the fixed member, thereby permitting rotation of the handle body relative to the fixed member, and displace the engagement part to a locked position, wherein the second portion engages the fixed member, thereby preventing rotation of the handle body relative to the fixed member.

Abstract: A system for electric pH control of saltwater swimming pools, including a pump-assisted circuit for circulating saltwater to and from a swimming pool, means for determining the pH of the saltwater, a pH control cell having at least one pair of electrodes arranges: for electrolytically creating an alkaline and an acidic chemical, the cell including a water flow-through compartment and a species separation compartment, the compartments being separated by a separator structure, a drainage structure, and a controller functionally operative to compare the pH determined or sensed with a desired pH value, apply an electric potential across the electrodes of the cell and control one or both of the potential and electric current supplied to the electrodes as a function of the pH comparison and regulate drainage of an alkaline or acidic species which has been electrolytically generated.

Abstract: This invention discloses an apparatus for separating differing vertically orientated containers 11, 12, particularly for use in manufacturing operations. The apparatus includes at least one pair of parallel guides 10 substantially aligned in a direction of travel of the containers 11, 12. The pair of guides 10 are operatively positioned to receive the containers 11, 12 therebetween. The distance W between the pair of guides 10 is between but not equal to the largest and smallest diameter or width of the containers 11, 12. There is also disclosed a method and apparatus for stacking containers employing the separation apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for the stacking of containers. The apparatus includes a plurality of substantially horizontal pairs of gates positioned in a substantially vertical series. Operatively, each gate pair can be selectively closed or opened to allow containers to either rest at each gate pair or pass through, so as to deliver a stack of containers below the gate pairs.

Abstract: A stroller including two rear legs, two arms, wherein a first one of the arms is pivotally connected to a first one of the rear legs by a first latch mechanism and a second one of the arms is pivotally connected to a second one of the rear legs by a second latch mechanism, each of the latch mechanisms being adapted to releasably lock an associated one of the arms in a position with respect to an associated one of the rear legs, a handlebar portion having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the handlebar portion is pivotally connected to a first one of the arms and the second end of the handlebar portion is pivotally connected to a second one of the arms, and a single release mechanism positioned on the handlebar portion, wherein the single release mechanism is connected to each of the first and second latch mechanisms and is adapted to release the first and second latch mechanisms to allow pivotal movement of the arms relative to the rear legs.

Abstract: A high chair including a carriage frame having a backrest connected thereto, a front frame pivotally connected to the carriage frame, the front frame having a seat connected thereto, wherein the carriage frame is lockable with respect to the front frame, at least two legs pivotally connected to the carriage frame, wherein each of the legs is generally U-shaped and includes a right side, a left side and a bottom portion, the bottom portions having approximately equal widths, and a fold release handle positioned on the carriage frame, wherein the fold release handle is adapted to unlock the carriage frame with respect to the front frame, thereby allowing the high chair to move from an upright position to a folded position, wherein, when the high chair is in the folded position, the sides of the legs are partially nested together and the bottoms of the legs are approximately adjacent to each other such that the high chair is compact and stands freely on a surface.

Abstract: A stroller including two rear legs, two arms, wherein a first one of the arms is pivotally connected to a first one of the rear legs by a first latch mechanism and a second one of the arms is pivotally connected to a second one of the rear legs by a second latch mechanism, each of the latch mechanisms being adapted to releasably lock an associated one of the arms in a position with respect to an associated one of the rear legs, a handlebar portion having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the handlebar portion is pivotally connected to a first one of the arms and the second end of the handlebar portion is pivotally connected to a second one of the arms, and a single release mechanism positioned on the handlebar portion, wherein the single release mechanism is connected to each of the first and second latch mechanisms and is adapted to release the first and second latch mechanisms to allow pivotal movement of the arms relative to the rear legs.

Abstract: An infant high chair assembly includes a high-chair seat, a high-chair tray, transversely-spaced-apart first and second front legs, and a bracing front-leg strut. The bracing front-leg strut has a first portion attached to the first front leg, has a second portion attached to the second front leg, and has a third portion positioned transversely between, and less forward than, the first and second portions. In one construction, the bracing front-leg strut has a substantially arcuate shape including a forward-facing concave portion, an opposing rearward-facing convex portion, a first end attached to the first front leg, and a second end attached to the second front leg.
