  • Patent number: 11426009
    Abstract: The invention may telescopically connect the first support member and the second support member together or pivotally connect the first support member to the pivot hub on the bassinet, such that the bassinet can be adjusted to various heights for a given situation. Furthermore, the bassinet may be adjusted to a desired height and then placed in a play yard without requiring additional components. Since the bassinet of the invention can be used alone and can also be used with the play yard, the bassinet of the invention is more flexible in use than a conventional bassinet.

  • Patent number: 11369211
    Abstract: A foldable play yard includes a floor assembly including a latch, a top rail assembly and a corner post assembly. The corner post assembly includes a first column and a second column movable relative to the first column. A lower end and an upper end of each of the first column and the second column are respectively movably connected to the floor assembly and the top rail assembly. The latch is pivoted to the lower end of the first column for engaging with the second column, so as to stop the second column from moving relative to the first column for preventing the foldable play yard from being folded. The floor assembly drives the second column to move relative to the first column to drive the top rail assembly to be folded or unfolded when the floor assembly is folded or unfolded.

  • Publication number: 20220117410
    Abstract: A play yard can be locked in an unfolded position via a latch mechanism or unlocked by the latch mechanism to fold to a folded position, by means of lifting a central member and bringing the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support members, and the connecting members to rotate toward the center of the play yard. A spring-loaded engaging member disposed on the rail member can have engagement with the bracket so that the play yard can be stably retained in the folded position. When the engaging member is operated to disengage from the bracket, the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support members, and the connecting members rotate away from the center of the play yard all the way to the unfolded position until the connecting members can be locked by the latch mechanism, which retains the play yard in the unfolded position.

  • Publication number: 20220000274
    Abstract: A child booster seat assembly includes a base seat and an upper seat. A first seating area is formed on the base seat. The upper seat is detachably installed on the base seat. The upper seat can be installed on the base seat installed on an adult chair at a higher position or detached from the base seat and installed on the adult chair at a lower position, which allows a caregiver to adjust an elevated height of the upper seat easily. Furthermore, when the upper seat is detached from the base seat, the upper seat and the base seat can be used independently and respectively installed on two adult chairs for accommodating two children at once.

  • Publication number: 20220000277
    Abstract: A play yard comprises two brackets, two rail members, two support frames, a central member, a plurality of connecting members and a latch mechanism. The rail members are pivotally connected to the brackets. Each of the support frames comprises two upper support members and a lower support member. The upper support members are pivotally connected to the brackets. The lower support member is pivotally connected to the upper support members. The connecting members are pivotally connected to the central member and the lower support member. The latch mechanism is configured to lock or unlock the connecting members. When the latch mechanism locks the connecting members, the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support member and the connecting members are unfolded. When the latch mechanism unlocks the connecting members, the rail members, the upper support members, the lower support member and the connecting members are able to be folded.

  • Publication number: 20210361076
    Abstract: An infant highchair includes a standing frame including a support platform, a seat pivotally connected with the standing frame and having a seating surface, and a locking mechanism operable to lock the seat in position. The seat is rotatable between a first and a second position, the first position allowing a child to sit in contact with the seating surface, and the second position being suitable to receive installation of a removable child seat over the seat while disabling seating of a child on the seating surface, the seating surface moving around the support platform when the seat rotates relative to the standing frame, the second position of the seat uncovering the support platform so that a removable child seat is installable over the seat at least partially supported in contact with the support platform. The locking mechanism is operable to lock the seat in the first and second position.

  • Publication number: 20200352351
    Abstract: A bassinet frame includes a support frame, two leg units, and two pivot hubs each connecting a respective one of the leg units to the support frame. Each of the leg units is pivotable relative to the support frame between a folded position, where a foot portion of the leg unit is proximal to the support frame, and an unfolded position, where the foot portion is distal from the support frame. When each of the leg units is at the unfolded position, a locking pin of the respective pivot hub is movable between a stopping position, where the locking pin prevents a respective one of the leg units from moving toward the folded position, and a releasing position, where movement of the respective leg unit toward the folded position is permitted.
