Abstract
A baby jumper includes a seat assembly and a support frame assembly. The support frame assembly includes a top frame, a pair of front legs and a rear leg, each of which has a top end connected to the top frame, a bottom shaft interconnecting the front legs, and three elastic couplers, each of which has a first end connected to the top frame and an opposite second end connected to the seat assembly.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A baby jumper comprising a seat assembly and a support frame assembly, said support frame assembly including
a top frame, a pair of front legs and a rear leg, each of which has a top end connected to said top frame, a bottom shaft interconnecting said front legs, and three elastic couplers, each of which has a first end connected to said top frame and an opposite second end connected to said seat assembly.
2 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said top frame includes:
a U-shaped frame body disposed to lie on a horizontal plane and having a pair of front end parts and a rear bight part between said front end parts; and three coupling sleeves mounted respectively on said front end parts and said rear bight part of said frame body for connecting said top end of a respective one of said front and rear legs to said frame body.
3 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said front legs have bottom ends interconnected by said bottom shaft.
4 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said first ends of said elastic couplers are connected to said coupling sleeves, respectively.
5 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said seat assembly includes:
a seat support connected to said second ends of said elastic couplers to suspend said seat support on said top frame, said seat support having a first annular part that defines a seat hole; and a seat unit disposed in said seat hole and having a second annular part that engages said first annular part.
6 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said seat unit includes:
a child seat formed with a pair of leg openings; a seat mount formed with said second annular part; and a set of fasteners for fastening said seat mount to a periphery of said child seat.
7 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 6 , wherein said set of fasteners includes:
a plurality of first engaging elements provided on said periphery of said child seat; and a plurality of second engaging elements provided on said seat mount to engage said first engaging elements, respectively.
8 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 7 , wherein:
each of said first engaging elements is defined by a fastener hole formed in said periphery of said child seat; and each of said second engaging elements is defined by a hook formed on said seat mount.
9 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 6 , wherein:
said seat mount includes an annular wall disposed in said seat hole; said second annular part including a top flange extending in radial outward directions from a top edge of said annular wall, and a downward flange extending downwardly from an outer peripheral edge of said top flange; said annular wall, said top flange and said downward flange cooperating to impart said seat mount with a reverse-U shaped cross-section; said first annular part including an annular track with a U-shaped cross-section; said downward flange extending into said annular track when said second annular part engages said first annular part.
10 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said first annular part further includes an annular protruding rim formed at an inner top edge of said annular track, and a plurality of ball bearings embedded in said annular protruding rim for contacting said top flange of said seat mount.
11 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each of said elastic couplers includes:
a biasing member having first and second biasing ends; a first anchoring member for connecting said first biasing end to said top frame; and a second anchoring member for connecting said second biasing end to said seat support.
12 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said biasing member is an extension spring, each of said elastic couplers further including a sheath sleeved on said biasing member.
13 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 11 , wherein each of said elastic couplers further includes a connecting strap for connecting said first anchoring member to said top frame, and a mounting piece mounted fixedly on said seat support and connected to said second anchoring member.
14 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said first annular part includes an annular track with a U-shaped cross-section, said second annular part having an inverted-L shaped cross-section and engaging slidably said first annular part such that said seat unit is rotatable relative to said seat support.
15 . The stationary baby jumper as claimed in claim 2 , wherein adjacent ones of said elastic couplers are angularly spaced apart by an angle of 120 degrees.
16 . A baby jumper comprising:
a support frame assembly including
a top frame,
a plurality of legs, each having a top end connected to said top frame, and
a plurality of elastic couplers, each of which has a first end connected to said top frame, and an opposite second end; and
a seat assembly connected to said second ends of said elastic couplers, said seat assembly including
a seat support having a first annular part that defines a seat hole, and
a seat unit disposed in said seat hole and having a second annular part that engages slidably said first annular part such that said seat unit is rotatable relative to said seat support.
17 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 16 , wherein said seat unit includes:
a child seat formed with a pair of leg openings; a seat mount formed with said second annular part; and a set of fasteners for fastening said seat mount to a periphery of said child seat.
18 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 17 , wherein:
said seat mount includes an annular wall disposed in said seat hole; said second annular part including a top flange extending in radial outward directions from a top edge of said annular wall, and a downward flange extending downwardly from an outer peripheral edge of said top flange; said first annular part including an annular track with a U-shaped cross-section; said downward flange extending into said annular track when said second annular part engages said first annular part.
19 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 18 , wherein said first annular part further includes an annular protruding rim formed at an inner top edge of said annular track, and a plurality of ball bearings embedded in said annular protruding rim for contacting said top flange of said seat mount.
20 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 16 , wherein each of said elastic couplers includes a biasing member having first and second biasing ends, a first anchoring member for connecting said first biasing end to said top frame, and a second anchoring member for connecting said second biasing end to said seat support.
21 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 20 , wherein each of said elastic couplers further includes a connecting strap for connecting said first anchoring member to said top frame, and a mounting piece mounted fixedly on said seat support and connected to said second anchoring member.
22 . The baby jumper as claimed in claim 16 , wherein:
said top frame includes a U-shaped frame body disposed to lie on a horizontal plane and having a pair of front end parts and a rear bight part between said front end parts; said legs including a pair of front legs respectively connected to said front end parts of said frame body, and a rear leg connected to said rear bight part of said frame body.Cited by (0)
