COLLAPSIBLE ENCLOSURE
A collapsible enclosure includes a body formed by a plurality of walls including a front, a back, a first side, a second side, a top, and a bottom wall coupled to one another to form an interior. Each wall includes at least one of a plurality of deformable frame members. A window is defined in one of the front, back, first side and second side wall, and is selectively engageable with the respective wall such that the window is disposable between an open and closed position. A door is defined in one of the front, back, first side, and second side wall, and is further selectively engageable with the respective wall such that the door is disposable between an open and closed position. The front wall defines a first plane and the back wall defines a second plane, the first plane and second plane are substantially parallel to one another.
COMBINATION TOY AND TENT
A combination toy and tent includes a toy having a body portion defining therein a cavity, and a head portion coupled to the body portion. The head portion and the body portion together represent a character. A tent is transformable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration, the tent being positionable within the cavity in the body portion when in the folded configuration.
Method and Device for Securing a Light-Weight Temporary Structure
The present invention relates to a method and device for securing a light-weight temporary structure with weighted objects.
Multiple enclosure coupling assembly and method
A collapsible enclosure includes a body formed by a plurality of walls including a front, a back, a first side, a second side, a top, and a bottom wall coupled to one another to form an interior. Each wall includes at least one of a plurality of deformable frame members. A window is defined in one of the front, back, first side and second side wall, and is selectively engageable with the respective wall such that the window is disposable between an open and closed position. A door is defined in one of the front, back, first side, and second side wall, and is further selectively engageable with the respective wall such that the door is disposable between an open and closed position. The front wall defines a first plane and the back wall defines a second plane, the first plane and second plane are substantially parallel to one another.
FOLDABLE PLAYARD HAVING X-FRAME ASSEMBLIES, OVAL-SHAPED LEG ASSEMBLIES, AND CANOPY COVER
A foldable playard includes a frame defining an interior space when unfolded and soft goods partially disposed within the interior space to define a partially enclosed space for a child to play and/or sleep. The frame includes multiple oval-shaped leg support assemblies and multiple X-frame assemblies that couple adjacent leg support assemblies together. The X-frame assembly is positioned near the top of the frame when the playard is unfolded such that the X-frame assembly functions as a top rail to mechanically reinforce the playard. In this manner, the playard does not include a separate compliant or rigid top rail or a bottom support structure, thus reducing the number of parts for manufacture. Additionally, the playard includes a single latch mechanism to maintain the playard in the unfolded configuration. The playard may also include an optional canopy cover assembly mounted to the frame to provide shade for the child.
Playyard with stickless exteriorly operated umbrella canopy
An umbrella canopy that opens and closes not from a stick from within the interior of the umbrella canopy but from the exterior crown where a line is pulled to open the umbrella canopy and where a button is pushed to close the umbrella canopy. The interior of the umbrella canopy includes no stick to hold up the umbrella canopy. Taut edges of the umbrella canopy hold up the umbrella canopy, for instance, on the top edges of a playyard.
Hovering Air Fort
A hovering air fort containing an inflatable housing having an open base defined by a periphery surrounding the opening, one or more apertures, wherein one of the apertures is for receiving air flow for inflation and wherein the other aperture is for connecting a second hovering air fort and a cord hemmed into the periphery of the open base forming a hemmed opening or at least one connecting panel is affixed to at least two side walls about the open base periphery of the inflatable air fort, wherein the air flow through the aperture provides structure and lift for the inflatable housing when the periphery of the open base is positioned against an external surface to create the hovering air fort.
PLAY TENT WITH INTERACTIVE AUDIO DEVICE
A play article including a floor having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface is positioned inside the play article, and one or more sidewalls extending from the floor. The play article further includes an audio device with an actuator configured to turn the audio device on and off from inside of the play article, and a coupling member that removably couples the audio device to the top surface of the floor. The coupling member has a pocket that houses the audio device and an attachment device that removably couples the pocket to the top surface of the floor.
