Abstract
The invention relates to a mobile feeding table providing varied inclination angles to facilitate the secured feeding of one or more infants and providing ease of use for a parent or caregiver.

Claims9
A table for supporting the body of a child, comprising:
- a substantially rectangular drawer base frame having a left side and a right side;
- a plurality of legs fixedly attached to said drawer base frame, each of said legs extending downward from said drawer base frame to support and elevate said drawer base frame above a floor surface;
- a left side panel extending across said left side of said drawer base frame and extending upward perpendicularly from said drawer base frame, said left side panel having a vertical interior face generally oriented toward the interior of said drawer base frame;
- a right side panel extending across said right side of said drawer base frame and extending upward perpendicularly from said drawer base frame, said right side panel having a vertical interior face generally oriented toward the interior of said drawer base frame;
- a single action drawer meaning moveable in a single horizontal direction relative to said drawer base frame, said drawer connected to said drawer base frame at said right side panel and said left side panel of said drawer base frame via a slide mechanism such that said drawer slides in a plane that is substantially parallel to a plane formed by said drawer base frame;
- a body support frame for supporting a body of a child, said body support frame adjustably connected to said drawer and having a foot-end and a head-end;
- a support hinge for adjusting an angle between (i) the plane in which said drawer slides and (ii) the plane passing through said body support's foot-end and said body support's head-end, thereby adjusting the inclination of the child's body, said support hinge being connected to a front edge of said drawer and said body support frame, said support hinge adjustable along portions of a right side and a left side of said single action drawer;
- at least one flexible body holder for supporting the body of the child, said body holder secured to said body support frame;
- and
- at least one body restraint for retaining the body of the child;
- wherein said single action drawer promotes efficiency by providing a single movement in the plane substantially horizontal to the plane formed by said drawer base frame in a forward and backward movement relative to a user;
- wherein said slide mechanism is positioned immediately adjacent to and secured to inner portions of said right side panel and said left side panel thus permitting said drawer and said body support frame to slide in the plane that is substantially parallel to the plane formed by said drawer base frame.
