Abstract: An assembly for a baby's go cart or walker is composed of an upper leg member, a lower leg member, and an extruded hard resin connecting member which permits the leg assembly to be folded upon itself without having any hazardous protruding parts.

Abstract: The vehicle has a support component which has two wheels and a frame work supporting a seat above and forward of the two wheels, a second steering component which has a wheel and means for steering the wheel and means disposed just above ground level for connecting the components so that a provisionally ambulatory medical patient who is either weak from disease or injury or who is partially crippled can mount the self-supporting vehicle and ride it from point to point without changing from a standing position.

Abstract: A process for the combination of pneumacel fiber and synthetic elastomeric foam is provided that yields highly desirable, composite cushioning structures. A compressed, resin-bonded pneumacel batt is pre-expanded and combined with a precursor of an elastomeric foam under conditions leading to minor but definite penetration of the batt by the foam to give durably unitary cushioning with the best features of both materials.

Abstract: A foldable child walker includes two inverted U-shaped frame members pivotally joined at intermediate points in a scissor-like fashion. The lower, or free, ends of the legs of the frame members are pivotally mounted to an annular base supported on a plurality of castered wheels. A flexible seat is suspended from the upper lateral portions of the frame members. Various mechanisms allow folding of the walker into a flat, compact package, convenient for storage or carrying. For example, in one embodiment, one of the two frame members has telescoping legs which are locked in selected positions of adjustment by spring-loaded release buttons to maintain the walker in selected upright positions above the base. When the walker is unoccupied, each button can be released to fold the frame members into a flat position against the base. In another embodiment, the legs in one of the two frame members are articulated below the pivotal connection the other frame member.

Abstract: A baby walker is disclosed which has a tray with an opening within which the baby is seated, the tray having a seat supported thereby below the opening, the tray being supported from a base frame by foldable legs, the base frame in turn being carried on casters.

Abstract: There is disclosed a baby walker to be used by a child wherein the body of the child is supported above the ground so that the feet of the child are in contact with the ground, thus permitting the child to propel the baby walker. The baby walker comprises means for permitting the walker to be collapsed or expanded, and means for locking said collapsing and expanding means to fix top and bottom members of the baby walker in a desired one of several positions. In this manner, the seat supporting the child is adjustable so that the distance to the ground may be controlled for different sized children, or for the same child over a period of growth.

Abstract: A training device for ice skaters includes a body enclosing rectilinear frame and pairs of front and rear supp.ort legs depending from the frame. Runners are provided at the lower extremities of the support legs and at least the runners on the rear support legs are rotatable. Springs operatively connect the rotatable runners and their associated support legs such that during the forward movement of the trailing device the rotatable runners are caused to rotate against the bias of their respective springs into an orientation parallel to the direction of movement and when the training device is stationary the rotatable runners are biased by the springs towards an orientation substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the training device.

Abstract: A power operated invalid lifting and walking device which is operated by the invalid. The invalid lifts himself to a standing position with a power hoist attached to the device. While supported in the standing position by the hoist, the invalid can propel the device by holding onto a handle bar and pushing against the floor with his feet.

Abstract: A walker for use with a wheel chair is disclosed. The walker has a generally U-shaped frame with a column swingably attached to the intermediate part of the U-shaped frame. A caster wheel is attached to the distal end of the column and a tube is swingably attached to the distal ends of the U-shaped frame. A pair of brackets are provided by attaching the front side of the wheel chair to the brackets. Each of the brackets has a telescoping pin. Clamps are provided on the tubular brackets which can be attached to the wheel chair and which receive the telescoping pins attached to the U-shaped frame.

Abstract: The apparatus includes a baby seat having a generally planar first portion with an elongated generally planar back portion for supporting the entire spinal column of the infant with which it will be used. The seat may be selectively positioned on a chassis which is provided with casters or used independently.
