Mobility walker
A mobility walker includes a framework having a top portion that includes a support rail positioned parallel to the ground surface. The framework has a bottom portion that includes four support rods distributed in a square configuration and includes a plurality of vertical support members extending between the bottom and top portions such that the top portion is supported above the bottom portion. The walker includes a child support portion having a first end coupled to the support rail of the top portion and having a flexible configuration suspended from the top rail, the child support portion defining a pair of leg holes. A plurality of wheel assemblies is releasably coupled to lower ends of vertical support members. Each vertical support member defines a vertical axis oriented at an angle between 70 degrees and 90 degrees and, preferably, between 80 and 90 degrees relative to the ground surface.
Baby walker apparatus and method of controlling the same
A baby walker comprises sensors and control mechanisms to detect dangerous situations and to stop or substantially slow the baby walker. The baby walker uses proximity sensors, position sensors, presence sensors, and/or communication modules in order to assess the environment for the safety of the child. It also includes a controller that can apply a brake to the wheel assembly to stop or substantially slow the baby walker so as to protect the baby from entering dangerous regions or come in close proximity to objects. The baby walker may further receive and/or transmit information from an external device which may be operated by the child's guardian to define the borders of dangerous regions or a predefined travel distance.
Safety harness with adjustable separation mechanism
The present invention provides a safety harness for a user comprising a first panel arranged to be disposed against the user's chest. The harness further comprises two shoulder portions extending from the first panel and arranged to extend over the shoulders of the user. The harness further comprises a locating portion arranged to be disposed against the user's back. The harness further comprises an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the separation between the first panel and/or the shoulder portions and the locating portion in order to adjust the fit of the first panel and the two shoulder portions against the body of the user. The adjustment mechanism comprises at least one engagement feature. The harness further comprises a securement means located on said first panel. The securement means comprises at least one engagement feature for releasable engagement with the at least one engagement feature of the adjustment mechanism for maintaining the desired separation between the first panel and/or the shoulder portions and the locating portion.
