Patent number: 12274375Abstract: A child carrier with a carrying structure having a front portion and a rear portion. Between the front portion and the rear portion an accommodating space is defined between which a seating unit may be suspended. The seating unit forms a shell-like seat structure. At least one portion of the seat structure is cup-shaped. The seating unit also includes a height-adjustable seat middle portion. The seat middle portion is designed to support a child at a predetermined seat height. The seating unit also includes thigh support portions. The thigh support portions each provide a thigh support surface for a respective thigh of a child. The thigh support portions are coupled to the seat middle portion in such a way that an adjustment of the seat height simultaneously results in an adjustment of the thigh support surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: Thule Sweden ABInventors: Reinoud De Jong, Jort Nijhuis, Mark Thibadeau, Marleen Offringa, Fortu De Haas, Homero Heredia

Patent number: 11684140Abstract: A hydration pack includes a main body, a strap, a bladder, a hydration tube, a first chain of magnets, and a second chain of magnets. The main body defines a storage compartment. The strap is coupled to the main body. The bladder is disposed in the storage compartment of the main body and configured to retain liquid. The hydration tube includes a proximal end coupled to the bladder and a distal end. The first chain of magnets is disposed on the strap. The second chain of magnets is disposed along a length of the hydration tube. The first and second chains of magnets are configured to connect by magnetic forces and disconnect by a force exceeding the magnetic force of the first and second chains of magnets.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2022Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Thule Sweden ABInventors: Eric Hassett, Derick Noffsinger, Mark Thibadeau
