Publication number: 20240245227Abstract: A mattress cover masks, buffers, or dampens the feel of the texture of the upper surface of a patterned gel layer of an upper cushioning element of a mattress. The mattress cover includes an outer surface, a mask layer, an outer periphery, and an optional bottom. A configuration of the mask layer enables it to mask, buffer, or dampen the feel of the texture of the upper surface of the patterned gel layer without interfering with a compressibility of the upper cushioning element. The mask layer may include a patterned gel layer with a different pattern than that of the patterned gel layer of the upper cushioning element of the mattress. Methods of manufacturing and installing mattress covers that mask, buffer, or dampen the feel of a patterned gel layer of an upper cushioning element of a mattress are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Janae Lois Pettit, James T. Grutta, Russell B. Whatcott

Publication number: 20240245229Abstract: An infant care apparatus includes a base. A drive mechanism and a vibratory mechanism are coupled to the base. A movable stage is movably mounted to the base. An infant support is coupled to the movable stage. The drive mechanism imparts a first cyclic motion to the movable stage, and imparts a second cyclic motion to at least part of the movable stage independent of the first cyclic motion and to the vibratory mechanism so that the vibration motor vibrates the movable stage. The infant support is coupled to the movable stage and moves cyclically in both the first and second cyclic motions. The controller is configured to move the infant support in a selectably variable motion profile with selectable vibration modes selected from different selectably variable motion profiles and selectably different vibration modes for each of the different selectable variable motion profiles.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventor: Richard JUCHNIEWICZ

Publication number: 20240245230Abstract: A door is configured to be coupled to a merchandiser. The door includes a first opaque panel and a second opaque panel coupled to the first opaque panel. The first and second opaque panels define a cavity therebetween. The door also includes a hinge coupled to at least one of the first opaque panel or the second opaque panel, a stiffener positioned in the cavity and in contact with the first and second opaque panels, and an insulative material disposed within the cavity and configured to bond to one or both of the first opaque panel and the second opaque panel to form a rigid door. The hinge is configured to pivotably couple the door to the merchandiser.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Rick M. LaMontagne, Venkata Sai charan Sunkara, Sunil K. Vennu, Ian J. Weathers

Publication number: 20240245231Abstract: Techniques for attaching a wireless display device to a vertical surface are provided. In one technique, a display device deploys a first adhesion mechanism to secure the display device to a vertical surface. It is detected that the first adhesion mechanism is about to fail. In response to detecting that the first adhesion mechanism is about to fail, the display device deploys a second adhesion mechanism to secure the display device to the vertical surface. In another technique, a display device deploys one or more adhesion mechanisms to secure the display device to a vertical surface. It is determined that the one or more adhesion mechanisms are about to fail. In response, the display device deploys one or more airbags around the display device to protect the display device in case the one or more adhesion mechanisms fail.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Balaji Krishnan, Corey Axelowitz, Philippe Williamson, Erik Danielson

Publication number: 20240245232Abstract: A slatwall system for installation on a wall structure includes a plurality of identical panels interconnectable with each other one above another in a coplanar slatwall arrangement. Each panel has an accessory slot for mounting an organization accessory to the panel, and a fastener slot for receiving fasteners to secure the panel to the wall structure. A plurality of identical covers are provided. Each cover is detachably mountable to a respective fastener slot for concealing the fastener slot and the fasteners. Each cover is detachable from the fastener slot for accessing the fasteners to permit removal of a respective panel from the wall structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: James Jonathan Secondino, Paolo Marchesani

Publication number: 20240245233Abstract: A system and method are provided for optimized shelf product shipping, storage, and display utilizing a pallet and one or more unassembled shelf assemblies designed for compact arrangement on the pallet. The system includes a standard size pallet and a plurality of unassembled shelf assemblies. Multiple unassembled shelf assemblies comprising shelf bodies and shelf components are stacked vertically and arranged in a compact configuration fully within a perimeter of the pallet and without overhang. The shelf components are housed in cavities formed between adjacent shelf bodies. Accordingly, the unassembled shelf assemblies consolidate into high-density vertical stacks with minimal wasted space and without loose parts. This enables efficient transportation while reducing risks including loss of or damage to the shelf bodies and shelf components.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventor: Jacob H. Whitta
