The baby part and carer's attachment system are adapted to be connected. The baby part and carer's attachment part have first and second connector elements that are mutually connectable and function as the main point of carriage. The first connector element is centrally positioned on the baby part at a position corresponding to a position adjacent to the baby's upper torso when the baby part has been mounted on the baby to ensure a connection stable and balanced relative to the center of gravity of the baby. Only the connector elements need to be connected and function as the carrier point, so the baby part with a baby inside can be mounted to the carer's attachment system in a single action. | 2018-03-01 |
| 20180055246 | SUPPORT PAD FOR INFANT - An infant support pad has a body of resilient material, a generally planar bottom surface and a top surface that is inclined relative to the bottom surface between a proximal end and a distal end of the body such that the infant is in an inclined position when placed on the body. The top surface has an opening in a distal portion of the body and curved surface configured to receive and support at least a portion of an infant's head that extends through the opening when the infant is placed on the body. The support pad also has a pair of raised side members on either side of the top surface configured to generally maintain the infant on the body and inhibit movement of the infant out of the body. | 2018-03-01 |
| 20180055247 | INTEGRATED DOOR RAILS FOR DOOR CASES - A refrigerated enclosure system includes an enclosure with an interior region defined between a top portion and a bottom portion. A top rail is attached to the top portion and includes an upper hinge mount. A bottom rail is attached to the bottom portion and includes a lower hinge mount. A central axis of the lower hinge mount is positioned relative to a central axis of the upper hinge mount to enable a door secured to the upper hinge mount and the lower hinge mount to open and close relative to an opening of the enclosure. The refrigerated enclosure system also includes a first insulating layer positioned on a back side of the top rail and within the interior region and a second insulating layer positioned on a back side of the bottom rail and within the interior region. The first and second insulating layers inhibit a transfer of heat into the enclosure. | 2018-03-01 |
| 20180055248 | Product Display Systems and Methods - A product display may include a product swatch frame having a plurality of convex surfaces extending towards a front surface and defining product swatch support surfaces configured to support a swatch including a product identifier; and a flange configured to position the swatch provided between an adjacent pair of convex surfaces. A product merchandising system may include a housing having a front surface; and a product display disposed proximate the front surface. | 2018-03-01 |
