Description
- Not Applicable
- Not Applicable
- The present invention relates generally to toys for children, and more particularly to a multi-functional apparatus that can be quickly and easily converted from an infant activity arch to a changing mat or sleep surface, and also collapsed for transport and/or storage.
- As is well known to parents, the marketplace is filled with products designed to meet the various needs of children. However, many such products have limited functionality and can only be used for a particular purpose. As a result, parents are often forced to purchase multiple products to address each of the many different needs of their children.
- For example, to entertain an infant, parents may provide the child with an activity arch. Conventional activity arches may include detachable toys that suspend over an infant car seat or stroller, allowing the infant to interact with the toys. While the activity arch may satisfy the child's need for entertainment, infants have other needs which also must be met. Specifically, infants can require frequent naps and diaper changes at various times of the day. If a family is away from home, parents must provide an appropriate resting surface for the infant, such as a portable crib or changing table.
- Unfortunately, it can be inconvenient and expensive for parents to purchase and transport separate products to meet each of the needs outlined above. In some cases, such an approach can even become cost-prohibitive.
- The present invention addresses these problems by providing a multi-functional infant gym which can be easily reconfigured to provide desired functionality. For example, in various embodiments the infant gym can be configured as an activity arch as well as a changing mat or sleep surface, and can be further collapsed for storage and/or transport. Thus, the present invention can provide the attributes of both an activity arch, a changing table, and a bed within a single product in an economical and compact manner.
- The present invention is directed to a multi-functional infant gym that is readily configurable into different useful forms. In various embodiments, the gym comprises first and second arch members pivotally connected to each other. The gym can be pivoted to a fully extended position wherein the second arch member is substantially above the first arch member, thereby providing an infant activity arch. Toys can be releaseably engaged with the activity arch, allowing for infant interaction with the toys.
- The gym can also be pivoted to a partially retracted position wherein the second arch member is substantially opposed to and coplanar with the first arch member. In this configuration, a pad member preferably engaged to the gym can be used as either a changing mat or sleep surface for an infant.
- In another embodiment, the gym can be pivoted to a collapsed position wherein the arch members are nested in relation to each other. This allows for compact storage and transport of the gym. A user-installable cover can also be provided to at least partially enclose the gym while in the collapsed position.
- In various embodiments, the first and second arch members can be pivotally connected by lockable hinges. Each hinge can comprise male and female hinge members, and a user-operable cap engaging the male hinge member. The hinge members can be cooperatively engaged whereby the female hinge member is capable of selectively rotating relative to the male hinge member. The cap is capable of selectively disengaging from the male hinge member in response to user-applied force, thereby permitting the hinge to be unlocked. These and other embodiments of the present invention are discussed in more detail below.

- Common reference numerals are used throughout the drawings and detailed description to indicate like elements.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a
multi-functional infant gym 8 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Thegym 8 comprises afirst arch member 10 having opposed first and second ends, and asecond arch member 12 also having opposed first and second ends.Arch members arch members hinges 14 as illustrated in FIG. 1. -
Toys 18 are also provided which can be releaseably engaged to thesecond arch member 12 throughapertures 16. In one embodiment, thetoys 18 are frictionally engageable within theapertures 16. Although threetoys 18 and elevenapertures 16 are illustrated, other numbers oftoys 18 andapertures 16 can also be provided. - When unlocked, hinges14 permit
second arch member 12 to rotate relative tofirst arch member 10.Second arch member 12 can be pivoted between various positions, including a fully extended position, partially retracted position, collapsed position, and other intermediate positions. Once a desired position is achieved, thehinges 14 can be locked in place to prevent inadvertent rotation of thesecond arch member 12. - In FIG. 1,
second arch member 12 is illustrated in a fully extended position. In this position,second arch member 12 is substantially above thefirst arch member 10, thereby providing an infant activity arch. In use, anoptional car seat 20 or other appropriate apparatus can be provided to comfortably position an infant under the activity arch. While the infant is so positioned, the infant can interact withtoys 18 suspended from thesecond arch member 12. - FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the
infant gym 8 of FIG. 1 with anoptional pad member 22 of theinfant gym 8 operatively engaged to thefirst arch member 10.Pad member 22 provides a substantially planar padded surface for an infant to sit or lie upon while interacting withtoys 18 ofgym 8. Aliner portion 24 of thepad member 22 overlaps an interior portion of thefirst arch member 10 to provide further padding for the infant. As a result, an infant can lie on thepad 22 without the infant directly contacting portions of thefirst arch member 10. As illustrated in FIG. 2,pad member 22 is releaseably engageable with firstarch member 10 bystraps 25 connected to padmember 22. - FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the
infant gym 8 configured as an infant sleep surface or changing mat. Secondarch member 12 is illustrated in a partially retracted position wherein it is substantially opposed to and coplanar with the firstarch member 10. As illustrated in FIG. 3,arch members pad member 22, thus providing an annular enclosure around an infant placed onpad member 22. In addition,toys 18 can be selectively disengaged from secondarch member 12 and placed onpad member 22, allowing an infant to interact with thetoys 18 while secondarch member 12 is in the partially retracted position. - Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown an exploded view of one of the identically configured hinges14 of the
infant gym 8. Thehinge 14 comprises afemale hinge member 26, amale hinge member 30, and a user-operable cap 32. Thefemale hinge member 26 itself comprises abase portion 27 having apost 28 projecting perpendicularly therefrom. In addition to thepost 28, also projecting perpendicularly from thebase portion 27 is an annular, circularly configuredsleeve 29. Thesleeve 29 defines a bore which extends completely through thefemale hinge member 26 along the axis A shown in FIG. 4. In theinfant gym 8, thefemale hinge member 26 is cooperatively engaged to the secondarch member 12 via the advancement of thesleeve 29 into acomplimentary opening 13 disposed within the secondarch member 12 in close proximity to the distal end thereof. Additionally, thepost 28 of thefemale hinge member 26 is advanced into and through acomplimentary aperture 15 disposed within the secondarch member 12 in spaced relation to theopening 13. - The
male hinge member 30 itself comprises a circularly configuredend portion 31 having anengagement member 33 extending axially therefrom. Themale hinge member 30 is cooperatively engaged to the firstarch member 10 via the advancement of theengagement member 33 into and through acomplimentary opening 11 formed within the firstarch member 10 in close proximity to the distal end thereof. Disposed adjacent to theopening 11 is a pair ofsmall apertures 9 which are adapted to receive respective ones of a pair ofprotuberances 7 projecting perpendicularly from the periphery of theend portion 31 of themale hinge member 30. When theengagement member 33 is advanced through theopening 11, theprotuberances 7 are received into respective ones of theapertures 9, thus effectively preventing the rotation of themale hinge member 30 relative to the firstarch member 10. - In each
hinge 14, theengagement member 33 of themale hinge member 30 is advanced into the bore of thesleeve 29 of thefemale hinge member 26. Thecap 32 is engaged to thebase portion 27 of thefemale hinge member 26 and selectively coupled to theengagement member 33 of themale hinge member 30. More particularly, thecap 32 includes alock member 36 which projects from the inner surface thereof, and is selectively engageable to theengagement member 33 of themale hinge member 30. - Referring now to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the
cap 32 is selectively movable between locked and unlocked positions as a result of the selective application of a compressive force thereto by the hand of a user. When thecap 12 is in the locked position (shown in FIG. 5A), thelock member 36 of thecap 32 is engaged to theengagement member 33 of themale hinge member 30, thus effectively preventing any rotation of thefemale hinge member 26 relative to themale hinge member 30. As a result, the first and secondarch members cap 32 is in the locked position, agap 40 is defined between thecap 32 and the secondarch member 12. - The application of a compressive force to a portion of the
top surface 34 of thecap 32 in the manner shown in FIG. 5B facilitates the actuation of thecap 32 from its locked position to its unlocked position. In the unlocked position, thelock member 36 of thecap 32 is caused to disengage theengagement member 33 of themale hinge member 30. The movement of thecap 32 also results in the closure of thegap 40, and formation of agap 42 between thecap 32 and the secondarch member 12. The disengagement of thelock member 36 from theengagement member 33 allows for the rotation of thefemale hinge member 26 relative to themale hinge member 30. Thus, as a result of the movement of both of thehinges 14 of theinfant gym 8 to the unlocked position, the secondarch member 12 can be selectively pivoted relative to the firstarch member 10. The removal of the user-applied force to thecap 32 facilitates the return thereof to the locked position, thus preventing any pivotal movement of the first and secondarch members arch members caps 32 of thehinges 14 are returned to their locked positions. Thus, an adult or user can unlock thehinges 14, pivot the secondarch member 12 to a desired position relative to the firstarch member 10, and re-lock thehinges 14 to secure the secondarch member 12 in a prescribed position. - Referring now to FIG. 6, the fully extended position of the second
arch member 12 relative to the firstarch member 10 is labeled with thereference numeral 44. The collapsed position of the secondarch member 12 is labeled with thereference numeral 48, with the partially retracted position being labeled with thereference numeral 46. A position intermediate the fullyextended position 44 and partially retractedposition 46 is labeled with thereference numeral 50, with positions intermediate thecollapsed position 48 and partially retractedposition 46 being labeled with thereference numerals collapsed position 48, those portions of theposts 28 protruding from the secondarch member 12 are engaged to respective ones of a pair ofdetents 38 formed within the firstarch member 10 in close proximity to respective ones of the opposed distal ends thereof. The receipt of theposts 28 into respective ones of thedetents 38 prevents the secondarch member 12 from pivoting any further in the clockwise direction as viewed from the perspective shown in FIG. 6. When the secondarch member 12 is in itscollapsed position 48, the firstarch member 10 is nested within the secondarch member 12. As will be recognized, thecollapsed position 48 is used to allow theinfant gym 8 to be stored and/or transported in a compact form. - The transition from the
collapsed position 48 to the partially retractedposition 46 involves pivotal movement of the secondarch member 12 approximately 180 degrees. When the secondarch member 12 is in the partially retractedposition 46, first and secondarch members arch member 12 to the fullyextended position 44 viewed from the perspective shown in FIG. 6 includes total rotation of about 315 degrees from thecollapsed position 48. When the secondarch member 12 is in the fullyextended position 44, the first and secondarch members particular positions arch member 12 can be pivoted to any desired position between the fullyextended position 44 and collapsedposition 48. - FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the
infant gym 8 in a collapsed configuration with a user-installable cover 56.Cover 56 can at least partially enclose thegym 8 while in the collapsed configuration in order to protect the gym during storage and/or transport. - It will be appreciated that the scope of the present invention is not limited by the particular embodiments set forth herein. Other appropriate variations, whether explicitly provided for or implied, are contemplated by the present disclosure.
