Abstract: An improved bath seat for a young child or infant is provided. The bath seat has a plurality of rigid, extendable and retractable, stabilizing arms that include pivotable, spring-loaded suction cups at or near their ends that are engageable by means of suction with a wall of the bathtub to prevent the bath seat from tipping.

Abstract: Provided is a retractable safety gate and locking mechanism for a retractable safety gate that employs a flexible barrier windable around a rotating spool, a lever or time release cap, a spline lock, meshing teeth, a spline geometry for extending and retracting the barrier.

Abstract: A safety gate is composed of a U-shaped frame and a door spanning the interior of the frame. One side of the door is pivotally connected to one side of the frame to permit pivotal movement of the door with respect to the frame. The frame's width is adjusted by a ratchet mechanism composed of a spring-loaded pawl having a sloping side and a vertical side so that the width of the frame can be adjusted in one direction only.

Abstract: A child safety gate includes a frame having a first side and a second side configured to be removably mounted to opposing sides of a passageway. The gate further includes a door pivotably coupled to the first side and releasably coupled to the second side and a release mechanism coupled to the first side of the frame and pivotably coupled to the door. The release mechanism includes a foot pedal and is configured to move the door from a closed and locked position to an open position when the foot pedal is sufficiently actuated.

Abstract: A safety gate is provided including a frame having two generally vertically extending pillars, each pillar having a substantially perpendicularly cross bar attached to it and extending horizontally at the bottom, and a hollow bar surrounding at least part of each cross bar. At least one of the cross bars is formed with an array of catches that cooperate with a uni-directional locking mechanism within the catched cross bar to permit linear motion of the catched cross bar within the surround bar in a single direction. The safety gate includes a cantilever foot pedal connected to the uncatched cross bar that pivots between an upward and open position and a downward and closed position to move the surround bare in relation to the uncatched cross bar and engage the locking mechanism to lock and unlock the frame.
