Abstract: An infant seat is convertible between at least a rocking configuration and a chair configuration. The infant seat includes a seat for supporting an infant and a base supporting the seat. The base includes a rocker member with first and second portions pivotally coupled to one another by a hinge, where each of the first and second portions include a curved rocking surface. The second portion is pivotable about the hinge between first and second positions relative to the first portion. In the first position, the curved rocking surface of the second portion is adjacent to the curved rocking surface of the first portion to support the base on a floor and permit rocking of the base on the floor. In the second position, the second portion extends between the seat and the floor to support the seat and inhibit rocking of the base.

Abstract: A transformable baby walker includes an upper frame unit, a support unit, two front retaining members, two rear retaining members, two shell units, four latch members, four actuators, and a plurality of casters. A shell member of each of the shell units has a rocking surface and a mounting surface. Each of the casters is mounted on the mounting surface of a corresponding one of the shell units. Each of the shell units is angularly displaceable between a walker position, where the casters are in contact with a floor surface, and a rocker position, where the rocking surface is in contact with the floor surface.

Abstract: A children's high chair comprises a supporting frame (11,111) for a high chair (12,112) for receiving the child. The frame (11,111) comprises in turn a pair of legs (14,15) openable compasswise and with lower ends (19,119) for resting on the ground and stiffening crosspieces (20,120) arranged on both sides of the frame and movable between a non-operational position allowing closing of the frame and an operational position in which the crosspieces engage the legs to hold them steadily in open position. The crosspieces (20,120) can be moved to another more lowered operational position to rest on the ground to constitute high chair rocking members. Advantageously an automatic battery-powered mechanical rocking device can be provided.

Abstract: A convertible high chair and rocker supported by lateral pairs of curved pivotally connected legs that are extendable between a raised high chair configuration and serve as rockers when the chair lowered. Laterally opposed pairs of elongate longitudinally curved inner and outer legs are joined in laterally opposed parallel relation, and pivotally connected by a mutual pivot connection. In a raised high chair configuration, latch hook portions are engaged with catch elements to secure the leg members in their raised position and prevent pivotal movement.

Abstract: A saddle support, in particular for a bicycle, includes an outer pipe casing that can be positioned in an open pipe of a bicycle frame. A first piston-cylinder unit provides resilience and a second piston-cylinder unit provides height adjustment of a saddle. A piston rod of the first piston-cylinder unit has an upper end to support the saddle and extends shiftably inside a sheath-shaped piston rod of the second piston-cylinder unit which can be moved in the pipe casing. The two piston rods can be fixed relative to the pipe casing by respective clamping devices. Each piston rod is provided with a valve for adjusting the pressure of a medium in a chamber of the respective piston-cylinder unit. Such saddle support enables resilience and height adjustment of the saddle possible while riding.

Abstract: A convertible chair for children supported by two pairs of curved pivotally connected and extendable cross legs that serve as rockers when the chair is in its lowered or nested position. Two pairs of pivotally connected and extendable cross arms are attached at one end to the ends of the cross legs, and at their other ends make pivotal connections to a skirt below the chair seat. Separation of the cross arms and cross legs permits converting the rocking chair to a high chair having stable support on the ends of the extended cross legs. The pairs of cross legs, cross arms, and chair skirt are pivotally joined together by transverse rungs. Cam apertures in the forward sections of the chair skirt, and a control rung which passes through the apertures, control the chair extension, and in conjunction with locking pawls on the interior surface of the chair skirts permit locking the chair in its position as a rocker or high chair.
