Abstract
A convertible wagon changing table includes a wheeled section, a storage section, and a body section. The wheeled section includes at least one wheel. The storage section defines a storage volume, and is connectable to the wheeled section at a first end. The body section includes a support surface and is connectable to the storage section at the second end. The wheeled section and the body section are also detachable from the storage section and connectable together to form a wagon separate from the storage section.
Claims2
A convertible wagon changing table comprising:
- a body section comprising a base and sidewalls extending from the base, the base having formed therein:
- a first set of body connection apertures;
- and
- a second set of body connection apertures;
- a wheeled section comprising:
- a front wheel assembly including:
- a front axle;
- two front wheels rotatably connected to opposing ends of the front axle;
- a tongue coupled to the axle;
- a pivoting steering connector pivotally connected to the tongue of the wheeled section to permit the tongue and front axle to pivot about a steering axis;
- and
- a handle pivotally connected to the tongue at a joint, wherein the handle is configured to receive a steering input from a user, the steering input operable to steer the front wheel assembly by causing the tongue and front axle to pivot about the steering axis;
- a rear wheel assembly including:
- a rear axle;
- two rear wheels rotatably connected to opposing ends of the rear axle;
- and
- a support member coupled to the rear axle;
- and
- a braking assembly arranged and configured to selectively apply a force to the rear wheels to resist rotation of the rear wheels about the rear axis;
- and
- a storage section defining a storage volume configured to store objects therein, the storage section comprising:
- a storage top having formed therein:
- a first set of storage top connection apertures;
- and
- a second set of storage top connection apertures;
- a storage base having formed therein:
- a first set of storage base connection apertures;
- and
- a second set of storage base connection apertures;
- storage supports connected to and extending between the storage top and the storage base;
- and
- at least one shelf positioned between the storage top and the storage base and connected to the storage supports;
- wherein the convertible wagon changing table is convertible between a changing table configuration and a wagon and separate storage structure configuration,
- wherein when the convertible wagon changing table is in the changing table configuration:
- the body section is connected to the storage top with fasteners extending through the first set of body connection apertures and the first set of storage top connection apertures, and with fasteners extending through the second set of body connection apertures and the second set of storage top connection apertures;
- and
- the wheeled section is connected to the storage base by fasteners connecting the pivoting steering connector of the front wheel assembly to the storage base using the first set of storage base connection apertures, and by fasteners connecting the support member of the rear wheel assembly to the storage base using the second set of storage base connection apertures;
- and
- wherein when the convertible wagon changing table is in the wagon and separate storage structure configuration:
- the storage top and the storage base are both disconnected from the wheeled section and the body;
- and
- the body section is connected to the pivoting steering connector of the front wheel assembly using the first set of body connection apertures, and is connected to the support member of the rear wheel assembly using the second set of body connection apertures.
