  • Patent number: 9491929
    Abstract: A multiple sound-emitting pet toy comprised of at least two compressible, sound-emitting chambers that return to their original shape once the compressed toy is released from a squeeze. Each sound-emitting chamber is equipped with a squeaker, with each squeaker generally emitting a differently-pitched sound. The compressible, sound-emitting chambers can be of the same shape and arranged in tandem to create a substantially symmetrical toy. The positions of the sound-emitting chambers are maintained by a fabric covering that directly surrounds them. Fastening elements can be positioned at the end of each chamber, to further cooperate with one another upon alignment and affixation of the at least two or more compressible chambers.

  • Publication number: 20090235461
    Abstract: An infant sleep positioner for holding an infant. The infant sleep positioner comprises a frame and a support end for holding or supporting an infant in an elevated position. The infant sleep positioner may be provided with a knee bolster to support the legs of the infant. Side bolsters that are releaseably attached, permanently fixed, and/or integrally molded to the frame may be provided to receive and prevent the infant from rolling off of the infant sleep positioner. Also, wings molded to the frame may be employed. Various means for adjusting the height of the support end of the frame and the elevated position of the infant are also provided. Ventilation holes can be included to assist in providing increased airflow and ventilation to the infant. A covering for the infant sleep positioner may be used to assist in releaseably attaching or permanently affixing the side bolsters to the frame and/or to provide varying materials in supporting the infant and covering the frame.

  • Publication number: 20080172795
    Abstract: An infant wedge sleep positioner comprising a cushion, a covering means for the cushion, one supporting pillow that is fixedly secured to the covering means, and another opposed supporting pillow that is releaseably secured to the covering means for laterally moving this pillow in relation to the other pillow. This combination creates a cradle for positioning an infant within the device and accommodating a growing infant or different sized infants. In an alternate embodiment, the infant wedge sleep positioner further provides ventilating channels in one or both of the supporting pillows for regulating the temperature of the infant while the infant rests or sleeps, thereby, further reducing the risk of the infant becoming overheated.
