  • Patent number: 10966545
    Abstract: A baby activity center comprising a foldable mat and a pair of bendable wings connected to the foldable mat. Each bendable wing has an opening. An arch is further coupled to the foldable mat and is positionable in an upright position and a recumbent position. While in the upright position, the arch is engaged with the openings in the pair of bendable wings. While in the recumbent position, the arch is disengaged from the openings in the pair of bendable wings. The baby activity center transforms to a gym configuration where the foldable mat is expanded and the arch is positioned in the upright position across the foldable mat. The baby activity center further transforms to a transport configuration where the foldable mat is folded and the arch is positioned in the recumbent position between the folded mat.

  • Patent number: 10799428
    Abstract: A transformable teething toy comprising a first hub and a second hub. Resilient flexible rods connect the first hub to the second hub such that the inner surfaces of the first and second hubs are oriented to face towards each other. The teething toy is further transformable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the first and second hubs are spaced apart from each other by the resilient flexible rods to form an expanded structure. In the closed position, the resilient flexible rods are bent such that the expanded structure is collapsed and the inner surfaces of the first and second hubs are releasably engaged with each other.
