Patent number: 11426009Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Wonderland Switzerland AGInventors: Lance J. Clemmer, Jonathan K. Mountz, Jonathan M. Pacella

Patent number: 11369211Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Wonderland Switzerland AGInventor: Jonathan K. Mountz

Publication number: 20220117410Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Applicant: Wonderland Switzerland AGInventor: Jonathan K.

Publication number: 20220000274Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Applicant: Wonderland Switzerland AGInventors: Jonathan K.

Publication number: 20210361076Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Inventors: Jonathan K.
