Abstract
A modular cradle system for children's gear includes a modular cradle assembly having a hinge frame, coupling hubs extending from the hinge frame, and a child receiving receptacle connectable with the hinge frame. The modular cradle system can be detachably coupled to various gear product bases such as a rocker base, swing, highchair, bassinet, play yard or other desired product base.
Claims19
A modular system of children's gear comprising:
- a first gear product;
- a second gear product;
- a cradle configured for interchangeable use in a first configuration detachably coupled to the first gear product, and in a second configuration detachably coupled to the second gear product, the cradle comprising a frame and a support panel mounted to the frame, wherein the frame is foldable in the first configuration when coupled to the first gear product, and wherein the frame is not foldable in the second configuration when coupled to the second gear product.
A cradle for a modular system of children's gear, the cradle comprising:
- a frame comprising a plurality of frame elements and at least one hinged coupling between a first frame element and a second frame element;
- a support panel mounted to the frame;
- coupling means for interchangeably mounting the frame to a first gear product and a second gear product;
- and
- an interference member for allowing the hinged coupling of the frame to fold when the cradle is coupled to the first gear product, and for preventing the hinged coupling of the frame from folding when the cradle is coupled to the second gear product.
