Publication number: 20210345791Abstract: A bassinet includes a main frame, a bassinet frame and a height adjusting assembly. The bassinet frame is detachably installed on the main frame and slidably installed on the main frame by a sliding track of the height adjusting assembly. The bassinet frame is vertically movable between a first position and a second position. When the bassinet frame is located at the first position, a supporting surface of the bassinet frame is located in close proximity to a top surface of the main frame, so that the bassinet provides an unhindered view of a child in the bassinet frame. The bassinet can be used as a normal bassinet when the bassinet frame is located at the second position. The main frame and the bassinet frame can be used as a standard play yard and a stand-alone bassinet when the bassinet frame is detached from the main frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Applicant: Wonderland Switzerland AGInventors: Andrew J.

Publication number: 20210251397Abstract: An infant seat includes a seat back member including an outer hub, a seat support member including an inner hub, a seat structure connected to the seat back member, and a locking mechanism including a slide gear and operably disposed on the seat back member. The inner hub is pivotably connected to the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatably connected to the seat support member for forming a cross bar structure. The slide gear is slidable within the outer and inner hubs for engaging with the outer and inner hubs to stop rotation of the inner hub on the outer hub. When the locking mechanism translates the slide gear to an unlocked position, the slide gear is disengaged from the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatable relative to the seat support member for adjusting a tilt angle of the seat structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Andrew J. Taylor, Daniel A. Sack, Patrick J. G. Bowers, Curtis M. Hartenstine

Patent number: 11019938Abstract: An infant seat includes a seat back member having an outer hub, a seat support member, a base member and a seat structure pivoted to the seat back member and the seat support member, and a locking mechanism including a slide gear and operably disposed on the seat back member. The seat support member has an inner hub pivoted to the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatably connected to the seat support member. The slide gear is transversely slidable within the outer and inner hubs for engaging with the outer and inner hubs to stop rotation of the inner hub on the outer hub. When the locking mechanism translates the slide gear to the unlocked position, the slide gear is disengaged from the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatable relative to the seat support member for adjusting a tilt angle of the seat structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Wonderland Switzerland AGInventors: Andrew J.
