Abstract:

A combination play pen, bassinet and changing table includes a bassinet assembly removably supported on the upper frame assembly of the play pen. The bassinet assembly includes a pair of bassinet frame assemblies, each consisting of a pair of J-tube assemblies joined by a cross tube. The J-tube assemblies include outer ends adapted to overly the upper frame. Bassinet side panels and end panels extend upwardly from the floor panel to form a coffer-like enclosure. An adapter supports the J end of the bassinet tube that overlies a collapsible joint assembly at the midpoint of one upper rail assembly. A changing table assembly includes a tubular frame comprised of paired side tubes and end tubes joined in a rectangular configuration. Two vertices of the changing table frame are adjacent to the adapters of the bassinet assembly. A keyed elbow connector at each vertex includes a T-shaped key received in a key slot of an adapter in supporting fashion. The changing table frame includes a pair of second elbow connectors, each including a pair of lugs projecting therefrom. Each second elbow connector impinges on the web of the adjacent upper corner bracket in supported relationship, and the lugs are received in the concave pocket of the web to retain the vertex of the changing table frame in the upper corner of the play pen frame assembly.

International Classification:

B60N 226
A47D 110

US Classification:

29725611

Abstract:

An adjustment mechanism for a car seat provides multiple vertical locking positions for adjusting the attitude of a seat with respect to an automobile seat cushion and back. The car seat has a base with forward and rear support walls each having a key way matching the profile of the stem portion of a locking plunger. The plunger has a forward handle portion and a pair of shoulder portions extending to the rear of the plunger which engage mating recesses in a key way formed in an adjustable support member. The adjustable support member is slidably arranged between the forward and rear support walls of the base. The plunger is spring biased by a spring mounted in a spring aperture formed in the rear of the plunger stem. The relative positions of the support member and the car seat base are adjusted by withdrawing the plunger until the shoulder portions clear the support member key way, adjusting the position of the support member with respect to the car seat base and releasing the plunger to enable the spring to force the plunger rearwardly into the support member key way.
