Abstract: A development-promoting device for infants that combines image-based stimulation with other sensory stimuli. The device includes a teething device usable as a teething ring by an infant. The teething device is capable of housing a photograph, such as a photograph of parents. The teething device is constructed to prevent saliva from deteriorating a photograph held by the teething device when the teething device is being used as a teether. The teething device is mountable to a stand, at which point a picture frame is formed for displaying the teething device's photograph. The stand may include a suction cup to provide tip-resistant mounting of the picture frame to a smooth surface, such as a highchair's tray.

Abstract: An improved bin for storing objects and providing better accessibility to the objects when removal is desired. The storage bin is provided with a hinged front wall or hopper having a top portion and a bottom portion. The hopper is shaped so that the top portion and the bottom portion provide a protrusion which extends outward from the front side of the bin in the closed position. When the hopper is in the closed position, the top and bottom portion define the front wall of the bin. When the hopper is in the open position, the bottom portion of the hopper provides a lateral extension of the base of the storage bin and the top portion of the hopper defines a laterally extended, reduced height front wall for the bin. The base of the storage bin is sloped towards the hopper to provide an automatic gravity feed of parts stored therein.
