Abstract: A folding playpen or play yard frame and/or a locking hinge mechanism for a folding playpen or play yard frame of the type having tubular rails for supporting sides and a floor of the playpen or play yard. The locking hinge mechanism includes a housing and a lock assembly movably mounted to the housing. The lock assembly is pivotally attached to proximal portions of the tubular rails for locking and unlocking the rails relative to the housing. The lock assembly and housing are configured and adapted to require the locking hinge assembly to be lifted to effect limited relative motion between the housing and the proximal portions of the tubular rails prior to unlocking the lock assembly and permitting greater relative motion between the housing and proximal portions of the tubular rails. This provides greater safety against the hinge accidentally being folded or being folded by a child.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a locking mechanism for a collapsible play yard frame. In various embodiments, the locking mechanism is configured to be adjusted between a locked position, in which the play yard frame is restricted from collapsing, and an unlocked position, in which the play yard frame is permitted to collapse. In particular embodiments, the locking mechanism is operatively connected to the play yard frame's lower frame members and includes a rotatable member configured for being rotated to adjust the locking mechanism between the locked position and the unlocked position. The locking mechanism's rotatable member enables the locking mechanism to be secured in the locked position when the play yard is in use and is easily adjusted by a user to the unlocked position when the play yard is to be collapsed for storage.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a height-adjustable, suspended child seating apparatus. According to various embodiments, the child seating apparatus includes a child support suspended from a support frame by a plurality of flexible members. In various embodiments, each flexible member includes a retaining member disposed proximate one of its ends that is configured for being inserted into one of a plurality of slots provided on the child support. By adjusting the position of the retaining members in the various slots, the effective length of the resilient members—and thereby the height of the child seat relative to the support frame—may be adjusted to accommodate children of different sizes.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a zipper pull tab lock for releasably securing a zipper pull tab to prevent movement of a zipper relative to rows of zipper teeth. A protrusion or paw within the zipper pull tab lock engages the hole defined in the zipper pull tab to prevent removal of the zipper pull tab from the zipper pull tab lock. To release the zipper pull tab from the zipper pull tab lock, a user depresses an release tab (or button) disposed adjacent the upper surface of the zipper pull tab lock, which causes the protrusion or paw within the zipper pull tab lock to move downwardly and disengage from the hole of the zipper pull tab, allowing the pull tab to be slidably disengaged from the zipper pull tab lock.
