Abstract
Presented here is an apparatus that includes a dual rail structure, an attachment mechanism, a child seat and upright supports. The apparatus can be 5 feet tall, 5 feet wide, and 2 feet deep. The upright supports lift the dual rail structure above the ground. The adjustable elastic cords can be connected to and suspended from the dual rail structure using wheels, which can traverse the dual rail structure. The child can be placed so that the child can walk, swing, and/or jump. The seat can rotate 360° with respect to the dual rail structure, enabling the child to change direction of motion within the dual rail structure. The entire apparatus can be collapsed using joints, which enable the bars of the apparatus to fold and/or disconnect for compact packing and easy transport.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- a rail structure defining an enclosed area, the rail structure attached to a movable upright support resting on the ground, the rail structure comprising a first rail, a second rail and a third rail configured to be secured to the first rail and the second rail and to detach from at least the first rail and enable substantially horizontal placement of a person,
- wherein detaching the third rail and enabling the substantially horizontal placement of the person maintains a first distance between the first rail and the ground, and a second distance between the second rail and the ground;
- and
- an attachment mechanism having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end movably secured to the rail structure, the proximal end secured to a seat and suspending the seat above the ground between the first rail and the second rail, the attachment mechanism to traverse the enclosed area while carrying the seat.
A method comprising:
- providing a rail structure defining an enclosed area, the rail structure attached to a movable upright support resting on the ground, the rail structure comprising a first rail, a second rail and a third rail configured to be secured to the first rail and the second rail and to detach from at least the first rail and enable substantially horizontal placement of a person,
- wherein detaching the third rail and enabling the substantially horizontal placement of the person maintains a first distance between the first rail and the ground, and a second distance between the second rail and the ground;
- and
- providing an attachment mechanism having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end movably secured to the rail structure, the proximal end secured to a seat and suspending the seat above the ground between the first rail and the second rail, the attachment mechanism to traverse the enclosed area while carrying the seat.
