US Classification:
24823161, 2482283, 2483112
Abstract:
A bracket assembly for connecting a cup holder or other accessory to a bar or other support structure includes first and second telescoping bracket portions that fit around and clamp to the support structure. One of the bracket portions includes a connector wall with an opening sized to receive a mounting trunnion of the accessory and a pair of ears with a slot formed therebetween in communication with the opening. Each ear has a convex inner edge that faces the inner edge of the other ear to define the slot. A width of the slot is less than a diameter of the trunnion such that the ears deflect upon insertion of the trunnion through the slot and return to an undeflected position with the trunnion located in the opening to thereby mount the accessory to the bracket assembly, and thus to the support structure.

International Classification:
A47C 3100
US Classification:
29721912, 29718812
Abstract:
There is provided a seat cover for accommodating a child safety chair upon a seat. The seat cover comprises a lower protective member which is disposable upon a seating portion of the seat. This lower member can accommodate the child safety chair when positioned in a rearward-facing direction to prevent it from permanently compressing the seating portion. The seat cover further comprises an upper protective member that is disposable against a seat-back portion of the seat. This upper member is selectively attachable with and detachable from the lower member. By doing so, the upper member can further prevent the chair from permanently compressing the seat-back portion when it is repositioned in a forward-facing direction and placed in contact therewith.
A dishwasher basket, having an upper compartment providing a common storage area for various types of accessories and a lower compartment particularly designed for storing baby bottle nipples. The lower compartment has two trays so structured that nipples rest therein with a specific angular orientation to achieve optimal cleaning effect. The dishwasher basket further has a spinning storage compartment insertable between the tray underneath the upper compartment. The spinning storage compartment has at least one rotor therein to rotate about the central axis thereof. The spinning storage compartment may be used to store small articles such as valves of toddler training cups. The angular orientation of the valves relative to the water jet is varied as the rotor rotates, such that the valves can be thoroughly cleaned.

International Classification:
B08B003/02
US Classification:
134135, 134166 R, 134201, 211 418
Abstract:
A dishwasher basket for storing at least one valve of toddler training cups in a dishwasher for cleaning. The dishwasher basket is assembled by a top shell and a bottom shell. The dishwasher basket is attached to a top rack of the dishwasher by a basket attachment right above the water jet source, such that cleaning effect is enhanced by the pressure generated by the water jet. In another aspect, a soaking container is disclosed, suitable for soaking the dishwasher basket and its contents. The soaking container has a suction cup affixed to its bottom to thereby anchor the container to a counter top or similar surface. Also, the soaking container has a lid to prevent foreign material from falling into the soaking solution and to limit spillage of the soaking solution. The soaking container advantageously facilitates cleaning of the valves.

Abstract:
A dishwasher basket for storing at least one valve of toddler training cups in a dishwasher for cleaning. The dishwasher basket is assembled by a top shell and a bottom shell. The top shell and bottom shell are substantially symmetrical to each other. At one part of the peripheries, the top and bottom shells are hinged with each other. At the opposing part of the peripheries, a latching means is formed, such that the dishwasher basket can be open for loading or unloading the valves, and close to securely lodging the valves therein for cleaning in the dishwasher. The dishwasher basket is attached to a top rack of the dishwasher by a basket attachment right above the water jet source, such that cleaning effect is enhanced by the pressure generated by the water jet.

Denise and Michael Henley made the trek from Vallejo to the San Francisco Zoo on Saturday, bringing their two young grandchildren with them. The Henleys hoped to say hello to Kabibe at the gorilla preserve but instead saw gorillas in mourning.One of the females carried a tree branch on her back, said Michael Henley, who has visited the zoo over the past eight years. He thought it was odd when Kabibe didnt show after they waited for 10 minutes.
