Abstract: A seat for a baby carriage has a backrest core member held by a backrest holding member through a connecting mechanism combining a bracket (77) with a slot (75) and a guide pin (76). When the backrest core member is most inclined, the pin is located against one end wall of the slot to permit moving the backrest core member downwardly thereby forcibly bringing a head guard core member into an upright position. The head guard core member is rotatably connected to a control member which uses the movement of the backrest core member for the movement of the head guard member. Thus, a head guard portion is brought into a state substantially flush with a backrest portion when the backrest assumes a relatively upright state, while the head guard portion is brought into an upright position from the upper end of the backrest portion in a most inclined state of the backrest portion.

The novel chair further comprises a plurality of hinge members which hingedly connect the longitudinal support members and which allow the individual sub assemblies to be folded upon themselves to futher reduce the collapsed dimensions of the chair.

Abstract: A speciality convenience device comprising a U-shaped framework of rigid-tubing, serving to both house and support an extensible flexible-gooseneck member capable of being manually omni-adjusted into any desired positional attitude; the device being substantially flat between legs of said U-frame so as to be easily installed upon an existing automobile's or spectator-bench's seat back, while thus held captive thereto by presence of the user's own back resting thereupon; the user being either an adult or juvenile by virtue of a special U-frame width-adjustment provision which includes a co-operative sizing-adjustment of the back-spanning fabric covering; the covering including a pocket-like formation thereto also facilitating a convenient stowing place for the gooseneck's detachable sunshield member, including provision of a sunshield folding capacity, as well as an optional attachable child's activity-center thereto.

Abstract: The chair of the present invention comprises a foldable frame of metal or other rigid material, comprising a fabric or plastic seat rest supported between a pair of tubes or rods, to the ends of which are hingedly connected a pair of telescoping tubular back supports, which, in open position extend upward, supporting between them in taut relation a backrest, also of fabric or plastic, which is further supported by a pair of X-pivoted braces and other braces connected to the telescoping tubular supports. Four stub legs support the seat rest in open position. A particular feature of the invention is that it is readily folded into an elongated configuration of narrow width, which may be fitted into a tube, by first folding the back and seat together, and telescopically extending the back supports, which simultaneously causes the X-pivoted braces and other braces to rotate into approximately parallel relation with the back supports.

Abstract: A collapsible folding lawn chair is provided. Employing a chair of the folding frame and "sling seat" variety, a second level of compactness is achieved by addition of flexible locking hinges intermediate certain straight members of the frame.

Abstract: Collapsible baby carriers are provided which may be employed by themselves as car beds, car seats, or infant seats or in conjunction with collapsible frames to provide strollers, carriages, high chairs, bathinettes and the like. One embodiment of the collapsible carrier involves a two-piece telescoping carrier provided with a series of hinges, which requires no locks or fasteners; the two-piece carrier remains open as long as an infant is positioned therein and when desired, is easily collapsed. Two and three-way carriers are also provided which include a head portion, body portion and foot portion. The positions of the head portion and the foot portion may be adjusted independently of each other. Alternatively, movement and positioning of one of the head and foot portions may cause corresponding movement and positioning in the other.

Abstract: A back-rest attachment for a boat seat includes first and second pairs of rods spaced from, and hingeably, connected to one another, and a fabric connected between and attached to the rods of the first pair. The pairs of rods may be pivoted from a first position parallel to one another to a second position at right angles with one another, in which latter position the back-rest attachment may be fastened to a board. In a preferred version of my invention the rods are telescopically collapsible so that the back-rest attachment may be folded into a collapsed position, and wherein the folded fabric may be used as a handle.
