Publication number: 20240261694Abstract: An infant play mat with a flexible central mat portion having a fabric surface that forms a first infant play area and including multiple flexible flaps extending from straight edges of the play mat. The infant play mat has a polygonal perimeter with multiple straight edges, with two of the edges defining a corner therebetween. Multiple flexible flaps extend from a respective one of the perimeter edges and define a fold line. Each flap has an upper flap surface exposed when the flap is extended, and hidden when the play mat is folded at the fold line to cover a region of the central mat portion. The central mat portion and lower surfaces of the flaps together form a second infant play area when the play mat is folded at all of the fold lines. Two of the flaps extend from the two edges to define the corner and are shaped such that, when overlaying the central mat portion, the two flaps do not overlap.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2024Publication date: August 8, 2024Inventors: Jessica Thacher Crolick Rolph, Roderick Neal Morris, Seth Thomas Murray

Patent number: 10987605Abstract: A child development toy including a box and a set of flexible sheets. The box defines an interior compartment and an aperture extending into the interior compartment through a side of the box. Each flexible sheet has a corner with a bounded slit surrounded by material of the sheet configured to receive the corner of another sheet inserted through the slit. The set of sheets is configurable as a chain of sheets. Each two adjacent sheets of the chain is releasably connected by a connection formed by a corner of one of the two adjacent sheets inserted into the slit of the other of the two adjacent sheets.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Lovevery, Inc.Inventors: Roderick Neal Morris, Jessica Thacher Crolick Rolph, Sara Richins, Philip J.

Publication number: 20200346130Abstract: A child play pitcher-container set includes a pitcher and a container that defines an interior volume and an upper rim. The pitcher includes a base upon which the pitcher is supportable, a side wall, and a handle. The side wall extends from the base and forms a spout extending outwardly to a spout tip at an upper edge of the side wall, the spout having an outer surface defining in side view a slope. The handle is secured to the side wall opposite the spout. The outer surface of the spout defines a notch extending across the spout at an elevation along the slope. The notch is configured to interface with the upper rim of the container during pouring of liquid from the pitcher to the container. The interior volume is sufficient to receive all liquid volume containable in the pitcher with the pitcher upright on a horizontal surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2019Publication date: November 5, 2020Inventors: Roderick Neal Morris, Jessica Thacher Crolick Rolph, Philip J.
